Someone needs to jailbreak/root this TV!

[–] ultratiem@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that would be priceless. Send out a million TVs thinking man we are gonna make bank. Literally 990k jailbreak and use it as a dumb TV lol

(I have so much venom for this idea in general.)

Is there an intentional pun on it being priceless? I hope so

They have stated they have measures in place to detect anyone trying to do that and will require them to return the TV or pay for it.

Measures can be countered.

get that second screen working with HomeAssistant or somethin

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that would be against the contract signed when reviewing the telly so they'd charge them.

For example I think it is mandatory to connect there TVs to the internet
