Twenty minutes later, the guy sat back down and looked at the same TV he'd owned for 3 years.
Motion smoothing was off — the soap opera effect was gone. Picture mode was switched from Vivid to Filmmaker Mode — colors looked natural instead of oversaturated. Sharpness was at zero instead of maxed out. The eco dimmer was disabled — the panel was finally running at full brightness. ACR tracking was off. The microphone was disabled. The autoplay previews built from his own viewing data were gone.
Same TV. Same living room. Same $1,500 panel he'd been staring at for 3 years.
But for 3 years, he'd been watching a demo-mode showroom picture, on a TV quietly logging everything he watched — while the actual television he paid for sat one settings menu away the entire time.
The TV was never broken. It was just never set up. It came configured to sell his data and impress him in a store, not to actually watch movies at home.
Now he checks every setting on every new device before he watches anything on it.
Save this thread. Share it with someone who's had the same TV for years and has never once opened the settings menu.

What’s happening in Spain is what is coming for America if Democrats regain power. Complain about Republicans all you want, they’re the only avenue to secure borders. We need better Republicans, but electing Democrats is a death sentence.
Ron Johnson Holds Up A STACK of Studies Showing 60-70% Effectiveness of Ivermectin, Says Fauci COVERED IT UP
“You said there was no evidence”
“There’s ALL KIND of Evidence”
“To what extent were you involved in sabotaging Hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin?”
*Pleads the Fifth*
Just a quick reminder that they arrested this guy for paddleboarding alone in the ocean during Covid while Anthony Fauci had dinner with Jake Tapper and his wife in DC and Gavin Newsome hosted a party with friends in California.
Hmm I wonder why the families of 9/11 don’t want Mandami at the 25th anniversary memorial ceremony. Could it be for any of the following reasons?
He campaigned with Hassan Piker who said US deserved 9/11
He endorsed Claire Valdez who also said America deserved 9/11
He endorsed Darializa Avila Chevalier who founded a group at Columbia with a stated goal of overthrowing Western Civilization
He sympathized with the Boston Marathon bombers before the murdered bodies were even cold?
His dad has justified “suicide bombing” (like the ones in 9/11) as “first and foremost a category of soldier”.
Mandami has refused to condemn the phrase “Globalize the Intifada” which is exactly what 9/11 was
During his mayoral campaign he took a smiling picture with his arm around Iman Siraj Wahhaj who was accused of being one of the co-conspirators of the 1993 world trade center bombing
He has said he wanted to defund the police about a million times and demonized law enforcement
Yeah I wonder why the families don’t want him there. The bigger question is how the hell did we get here in the 1st place?
Ps - All the above is readily accessible with a quick google search. He hasnt hid who he is.
BREAKING: Marco Rubio just said the quiet part out loud.
Americans work 40+ years…
Pay taxes.
Follow the rules.
Build the country.
Then retire on $800, $900, maybe $1,000 a month.
Meanwhile, new arrivals can allegedly receive more support from the same system they never paid into.
Read that again.
The people who built America are being pushed to the back of the line.
This is not compassion.
This is a government priority problem.
America First was never just a slogan.
It was a warning.
Who comes first?
The taxpayer… or the system?

Hasan Piker, you would have cheered if Hamas had installed Yahya Sinwar as President of the United States and then called everyone else a foreign agent.
Your problem is not that Americans supposedly take orders from Netanyahu.
Your problem is that Americans refuse to take orders from you.
Prediction: all the media outlets that told you Russia stole the 2016 election for Trump with $100k in Facebook ads will now claim China stealing 220 million voter files is no big deal.
Fuck the Knicks, fuck NY, the 2025 Indiana Hoosiers going 16-0 and winning the national championship is singularly the greatest and most shocking achievement by any sports team in my long lifetime
WOAH 🚨 Investigative journalist Catherine Herridge reviewed the documents just released by the Trump Admin on election integrity and finds CIA emails showing they were working against Donald Trump to aid China and the Democrats in the 2020 election
“I've been digging into the documents already and I found this November 2020 email, and it specifically states, it's a conversation among intelligence officials, it specifically states that they have, quote, deliberately massaged one of our pending PDBs. That's the president's daily brief. To avoid any direct links to the election”
“This was a massive effort, what they call a multi-domain operation. That means trade, it means diplomacy, it means open-source information, it means social media. So all the levers of power China had to influence the US election”
And our own CIA worked to make sure the r President wasn’t aware of any of this information, they literally removed it from his daily briefing
Literally treason
“In the summer of 2020, as we're heading into the election, in the intelligence community there were indicators of this Chinese influence operation. Influence operations means that you're trying to affect the outcome of how people vote or their sentiment about a presidential candidate.
It's different than an interference operation, which is penetrating voting rolls and voter systems. And this whistleblower was raising the alarm about the influence operation, and then suddenly it all was suppressed”
“In some of their reports, there were in officials' own handwriting that they wanted everything out that could help President Trump in his reelection. So there was clear evidence of political and personal bias”
They wanted to remove EVERYTHING that could possibly help Trump win reelection
Again, literally treason
Also if you remember awhile back, a former CIA officer named Pedro Israel Orta who worked at the CIA during the Trump Administration said the CIA didn’t even recognize him as the President, they wouldn’t even put his picture up on the wall which was customary for all Presidents
They were actively working against him
Caitlin Clark scored 45 points and had 10 assists tonight, something never done in the history of the WNBA. Not bad for the 11th best guard in the league.
