The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you've already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

It doesn't work on Samsung TVs, I tried

Can you browse web on your tv? That would work.

I was curious and tried that on my Samsung TV from 2016, it loads a grey background and does nothing

Maybe, I put it into dev mode to install the app, but it seems that it's not functional in the current version

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Oh, I meant browse to the webpage like you would on a computer. Is there not a browser available? I've only got dumb tvs, so sorry I can't be of more help.

You're inputs broken? Who the fuck cares about TV OS support?

Who the fuck cares about TV OS support?

Me with my limited budget

I spent 30 dollars on an orange pi zero 2 and installed android TV on it.

Can you afford 30 dollars? The privacy alone is worth the cost. Those samsung TVs are spyware central.

Sorry I can't justify that cost

I dont believe you.
