@ariadne Same.Appliances can connect to my computer systems in my home, or not at all. And for some reason nobody makes them with an API for me to connect with, so I guess they're not getting a connection.

@ariadne @dne my TV kept insisting but I kept refusing to give it the password to the wifi and it eventually gave up.If the kids want 'flix and stuff, there's an hdmi cable and their laptop.

@ariadne my TV does not need to have a computer in it, it only needs to be a big screen with speakers that has an HDMI cable plugged in. I do not want that computer in there, get it out (even if it is funny to scroll thru the software license listing and guess how their thing works. Seeing Mesa and Android components listed on the same TV is wild. Or seeing a random project I contributed to listed.)

@ariadne This is why I never wanted a 'smart' TV, but why we just bought a 'big' monitor (32" might be debatable as big) when our old CRT wide-screen TV died.As extra I needed a HDMI switch to select either the SatPVR or the Blu-ray player as source. And audio is going via the audio amplifier and speakers.Currenly cameras are in the home network, but it's not something I'm happy with.I need to work on the cabled network, and then there will be a separate IoT network.

@ariadne Saying 'no' to 'smart' appliances also an option.

@ariadne @dne https://www.samsung.com/us/business/commercial-tvs/all-commercial-tvs/Obviously go for the non-smart variants of Commercial TVs. I got a 65" commercial TV and don't regret it one bit!

@ariadne @dne I am incredibly sick of smart devices.Should i ever buy a TV i'll just hook it up to a little Debian mini PC and install something like Kodi or JellyFin on it.Same functionality, except local and without all my data getting sold.

@ariadne @dne This likely violates the principals of meaningful consent under Canadian antispam legislation, which would probably be sufficient to overlap into criminal code.

@ariadne And this is why "smart" appliances have their own WiFi network in my house and need to be given special privileges to talk to anything outside of that network.
