Imagine there being a website so popular that game console manufacturers put a dedicated button on their controllers to take and post screenshots and then you fuck the website up so much that they disable it

You think of old TVs as smart TVs with buttons for dead streaming services

Look, I get it; I'm 36. But I've also come to terms with the fact that 1990 was not actually 10 years ago. Smart TVs have been around for long enough now that old ones can exist. Especially given how much faster the tech is evolving now.

My last TV from 2020 only lasted 2 years before I sold it and got a newer set. The old one couldn't even hit 120Hz @ 4K; it could only do it at 1440p. So when I built a new gaming PC, I had to get rid of it just to be able to play at my TVs native resolution and refresh rate. And don't even get me started on how much better and more affordable OLED is now compared to inferior display tech like IPS and VA. Just four years ago they would have been out of my budget. Which proves my point that TV tech evolves much more quickly than it used to.
