Somehow, advanced Triada malware was added to devices before reaching resellers.

    Personal opinion: if you’ve got a decent pi kicking around, it makes a better media server than any smart TV ever has. Bonus points for running pihole.

        I’m simple, I know. Idc if I get 2k or 4k. Never even owned a 4k TV. I see no need.

          Ok but for the rest of us it means that it’s categorically NOT better than any Smart TV…

            That is an active choice you can change, or you can accept that better things are more expensive.
