“This is getting ridiculous and I’m about to just toss the whole thing and move back to Google,” one Redditor said of the “full-volume” ads for Alexa+ on their Echo Show.

Oh sweet summer child, Google is NOT going to be any better at this. That will just be changing one corporate evil for another.

    Anyone know a good TV on the market now? I don’t need ultra resolution. I want it unsmart. I need it to switch between HDMI inputs.

      You’ll pay through the nose, but look at digital signage panels. They are bristling with I/O, configurable to the nth degree, wonderfully over-engineered and utterly free from bloat.

      I’m also in the market for one. Can’t give you a recommendation from experience, but from what I read some smart TVs can be booted up and operated in “dumb” mode, which I think would be a good compromise - you might wanna look into that, because dedicated dumb TVs seem to be next to non-existent.

      B&O 😊 awesome Picture and awesome Sound.
      Smartness is only achieved by placing an Apple TV into it.

      And price is way too high.

      My dad has one.

      I have an old LG and have set on my router to keep it offline

      I only use it with ISP TV box, Nintendo Switch and Apple TV
