This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.

Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:

Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.

Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.

So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.

Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]

From what I understand, TVs are incredibly customized and locked down by design. Not only that, they change very often and by the time you make a cracked firmware, the TV is no longer in production.

Is it possible, yes. Is it worth your time? Probably not but hey I would love to see it be done! Imagine TCL seeing a sudden uptick in TV sales because someone found out how to remove the Roku from the Roku TV.

I'd be first in line!

Are you aware that there are jail breaks for roku TVs?

Smart TVs aren't running on custom hardware in the way you seem to think.
