If you had read the article, you'd know that they only used it for inputs, not its "smart" features.
I know, my TV asked me for permission to do the same, which I denied.
But you asked why anyone would connect their TV to the internet, yes? We do it to watch content via the internet, using the TV. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I only gave you an answer to your question.
No, the comment was clearly directed at the author. Why would I call everyone, collectively, a singular dumbass?
And why would you not answer the question in the context of the article?
You are effectively calling everyone who connects their TV to the internet a dumbass, by calling one person that, for doing so. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I don't understand what in this article changes this. Please explain if you can, thanks.
