Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

As someone who doesn't own a smart tv, I believe I heard they even show ads as overlay on any input. As long as it is connected to the web, of course.

This is so gross.

It can't download any ads nor invade your privacy if it doesn't have internet connection.

so are you moving deep into the woods, or will you remove its antenna before turning it on?

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

No need for the woods, you never connect it to the network.

As others have pointed out: some TVs will connect to any open or low security wifi if none is configured.

IIRC the ads (currently) are only done in the smart OS part of the TV, not the direct input.
