Does anyone got any television recommendations for dumb tv's or other words none smart tv's? Or even a tv that is smart but the software is open sourced making it privacy friendly?

get any tv and dont hook it to the net. use a device like a nvidia shield, a game console or something similar if you want streaming apps

You think consoles don’t track you? Also they are extremely wasteful when it comes to power consumption. Better just get a tiny streaming stick or a smart tv.

Have you considered that you can play videogames on them?

[-] neutron@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 year ago

Not everyone plays games or has time for it.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 2 points 1 year ago

That's why they recommended more than consoles.

[-] Vub@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, but we are discussing streaming here. I also have several consoles and I play on them but for streaming they’re a really bad (expensive) option for the reason I mentioned: electricity.
