5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

TV's are actually cheaper not because the tech necessarily being more available (even though it should) but instead it's because companies are harvesting your data on smart tv's and selling it making more profit than they would make with just selling you a TV. On a separate but somewhat related note, has anyone else noticed smart phones becoming more expensive as they become more protective of the users privacy?
that was a good joke
~~Oh I know they are still harvesting our data, but that data is not openly shared so in that sense it's more secure (Basically I misspoke). It used to be sold like tables of information, now they only sell access to advertise to those groups (more money)~~... You know what, fuck that logic. I'm talking out of my ass. Phones are more expensive because greed, pure and simple.
