I just finished setting up a custom router with dns ad blocking. Next comes a media player so I can purge this smart TV filth from my household.

Huge shout out to Louis Rossmann and the FUTO communuty contributors, check out the wiki on self-hosted software if you haven’t already.

        Detailed instructions for things like this will need to documented. It starts with ads… does it evolve into 1984? Who knows, but it seems more likely in light of recent events.

          I agree. I could see manufacturers add anti tamper features that could brick the device if opened if people started doing this anyway.

            That’s unlikely, the additional R&D cost probably won’t weigh up to the costs incurred by the small minority that removes it.
