Is this a good advice from Jared Newman?
https://www.pcworld.com/article/3266473/please-dont-use-ai-hacks-to-debloat-your-tv.html
How about manufacturers don't make the TVs bloated in the first place?
>>110177518How about you stop being antisemitic
>>110177518He says that you can just use a legit launcher from google play, but how does that help? It might look more minimalistic but bloat will still run in background.
>>110177502Not every problem needs AI as the solution. The steps above will get you most of the way toward what the AI bros are doing, but with far less effort, expense, and risk.
>>110177533Most people just want a better launcher, and Projetivity etc already exist. The real gain is from killing all of these processes that slow down the operation of the TV. Manufacturers deserve this for not prioritizing user experience. You can get away with all kinds of spying and telemetry and no one will care IF YOU MAKE THE PRODUCT RUN WELL. It doesn't, so people look for solutions and in the process fuck up your business model.
>>110177518Okay I hope you like paying $5000 for a 720p 30hz piece of shit.You have no idea how heavily your lifestyle is subsidized by big data.
>>110177568It's a few hundred dollars per unit, not $5k.
>>110177578No, that's the price you pay when they're sold at a massive loss because the lifetime of data the manufacturer collects and sells will make up for the loss and then some. You will not own a TV for less than $2500 without the sticker price being subsidized by privacy invasion. You have no idea how poor and pathetic you are in 2026. They do a very good job at hiding it from you.
>>110177595You are simply incorrect. Possibly the highest-end, new R&D tv's meet that criteria but the average vizio 54" that an amerilard is buying for $350 doesn't cost $2k to manufacture, distribute, or package.
>>110177502>In the case of cleanyourtv and tv-detox, both expect you to set up an AI coding agent such as Claude Code or ChatGPT’s Codex to help execute the scripts. Those agents typically require a paid plan of some kind, so you’ll be incurring a cost to run these tools. (ChatGPT’s Codex offers a free tier, but you may run into usage limits that hinder your progress.)I did not believe it so I went to check their website. Slopniggers are retarded.
>>110177731normies thinking they leetcodemonkeys with AI are going to poison water with that agentic shitjust fucking outbound firewall your router niggers
>>110177731The AI is given a prompt telling it where to look in GoogleTV/etc for the corporate spyware and is able to ferret it out, often even rooting the device. Because it has adb and a supercomputer behind it they can do things that make the device work better. The new custom launchers are not the real product here.
>>110177762>just fucking outbound firewall your router niggersI know a bored marketingjew we might just make iToddler friendly hardware firewalls for 95 bucks a pop and subsidize it with Kickstarter.
>>110177501Why are goyim still buying these? So pathetic
>>110177501>don't use bloat to attempt to remove bloatDuh?
>>110177518TVs are subsidized by selling your info. Debloating tvs would double their price. You don't need to debloat a TV, if you want a dumb TV just don't connect it to the internet and use an android box for your apps, those are much easier to debloat.
>>110177501when i worked at a hotel and installed a pop up blocker the owners son a kid asked me is that illegal? and i thought "not yet"
>>110177599>cost $2k to manufacture, distribute, or package.You're right. It's $750 for all of that, and $1250 of labor costs.>Possibly the highest-end, new R&D tv's meet that criteriaNo, those are more like $50k+
>>110177595Bullshit as near identical models can be sold at similar prices in areas where such practices as in USA are against the law and random chinesium TV's with no functional ACR are sold for even less.
>>110177501Thanks for reminding me.
>>110177854That's trivial to just do yourself though honestly, it's nice the AI speeds up the process but it's just removing apps over ADB
>>110177595lmaothey charge you as much as they can for the TV AND sell your data
LG and Samsung needs to die.I want to get a TV from them that uses the TVs built in spy functions, connecting to random wiki etc,, all it uploads is "FUCK YOU GOOK" and random scrambled data 24/7.
>>110177922Too cheap for normiesCall it iTard and price it at $399its gonna be fire
>>110177961I'd pay extra for a TV that respects my privacy desu.
>>110177985>labor costsnigger what year do you think it is. most of these flat screens are being stamped out in a robot factory that doesn't even have lights installed on the ceiling.different tv panels have different manufacturing processes and older LCD/LED type panels are mastered years ago. New tech, your mini-leds and all that other cutting edge stuff, still requires attention and supervision because of how tricky it is.My estimate is that a Vizio midsized tv that goes for about $400 retail new would sell for $600 without any of the telemetry.
>>110178153>wiki*wifi
>>110178110> it's just removing apps over ADBthe telemetry and such are trickier than that, because they are not installed like regular tv apps are. Take a look at the .md file used by cleanyourtv or whatever and you'll see that it's giving useful directions. This varies by model - mine for example can't do much to improve it although it also didn't have any extras installed other than what GoogleTV does natively. I've manually 'hacked' my smart tv a few years ago and am pretty familiar with what is going on here. Ultimately the solution is for smart tv manufacturers to release devices whose interface is FAST. It really is that simple. The average user dgaf about or understand the data mining they just want their tv to not be slow as hell. It's amazing how stupid the industry has been about this.
>>110178182>Ultimately the solution is for smart tv manufacturers to release devices whose interface is FAST.It's kinda hard with the bottom of the bin Mediatek chips with Cortex A55's and 1.5GB of RAM and bare minimum of storage. Even if the launcher and base UI are optimized to the max to accommodate that, 3rd party apps will stay bloated as hell.
>>110177731wait a second, so they basically replaced a shell script with an ai slop prompt you need paid plan to execute? jesus.
>>110178224HOLY SHIT WHAT IF THEY USED OTHER CHIPS OR MADE NEW ONES OR TOLD MEDIATEK I WILL BUY 1 MILLION OF YOUR UPGRADED CHIP.This is an eminently solvable problem. What really happened is the marketing department filled up all unused compute on the tv's with no regard for the user experience because no one had a spreadsheet to account for that.
>>110178182>Ultimately the solution is for smart tv manufacturers to release devices whose interface is FAST.then they'd have to improve the TV hardware, oy vey
>>110178284They don't. As people using this shit all week have shown the current hardwire driving it is entirely sufficient if you dump the unnecessary cpu/ram-hog telemetry spyware.
>>110178279Easier said than done when RAM prices are already ridiculous and every fab is overbooked for the next 10 years or so.
>>110177731Funny thing about all those AGENT.md repos, just reading them gives you better, easier to follow, and more retard-proof instructions than those youtube faggots could ever hope to provide. Seriously, you do not need claude code, you can just meat proxy it all step by step instead.>>110178251>you need paid plan to executelocal models can do that too
>>110178251People who can decipher the arcane runes of a graphing calculator will be bonafide wizards in the near future
>>110178309The needs are low. TV's with 4gb of old ram would run amazingly. You can buy that off the scrap pile.And this problem is years old they should have done this five years ago when there was really no excuse to underpower the system hardware.
>>110178437bash can do that too after you think for a while, and you don't have to use 32 GB of VRAM for it, llmigga.
>>110177501>don't fight back please just lie down and take it
>use AII am not Indian.
>>110177561This anon has the right idea. Most normies are fine with telemetry, as long as the product is snappy and easy to use. Companies have forgotten how to make a good software to hide their spyware shit, and even normies are noticing.
>>110177518They do exist, though you are made to jump through hoops for them, even to the point of proving that you are a business.
>>110177501plz don't destroy our surveillance model and advertising profits :( plz sir I won't be able to afford a fourth home. the government needs to know you're exact location every millisecond of the day you have to do what we tell you
I'm using ProjectIVY, it's not AI, is there another launcher that doesn't use AI that's better?
>>110177501I'd like to make it illegal to put adverts in paid products, and illegal to charge people to "buy" a movie and it's technically rented, and also heavily illegal to split a series across numerous streaming platforms (Amazon Prime has season 1, HBO has 2 and 3, Peacock has 4). I want these people to suffer.
>>110177533Remember that Adam guy who started Gizmodo? And also John Dvorak? These are guys who wouldn't suck corp cock.
>>110177731>nothing was uninstalled>turn TV off (standby too)>spyware turns back onkek
>>110177595Shalom!
>>110177524I can't, they've done so much harm to my lifestyle.
>using Smart TV featuresJust buy a smart TV (they are all smart nowadays), set it it to got HDMI 1 when you turn it on, and in your HDMI 1 slot have a Roku, Apple TV, Fire Cube, etc. Separate boxes are fast and get more updates
>>110180356you haven't been paying attention. the tv's run content recognition even on the external ports so they can figure out what you're doing on it and upload to the servers. If the tv isn't on the internet it probably has a deal with Roku to pass off data and upload through that channel.
>>110178224Cortex A55 is capable of doing BILLIONS of instructions per second. 1.5GB of ram is 1.5 BILLION numbers between 0 and 255. If devs can't even figure out how to design a basic UI that works well with this level of hardware then they should get replaced with AI. And someone should just prompt the AI to optimize the shitty code.
>>110180599sorry, best I can give you is saarcoded electronslop
>>110177595
>>110177501That shit sounds like a jewish man trying to help jewish corpos
>>110177731in the cleanyourtv github there's an entire section that explains how to do it by yourself
>>110178159Pay less for the one that disrespects it and then neuter ityou know how to do that don't you /g/?
>>110182033Go back to Israel? Thanks for your support, my Zionist compadre.
It is crazy how many seething (((shills))) get triggered by this. The absolutely typical israeli lying about TVs being subsidizes, which is trivial to prove is a lie. Nuke israel.
people on facebook think changing the launcher stops all the spyware on their TVs lmao
>>110177961source? This has never been proven before
>>110177595I just have a slightly older TV that doesn't have any internet functionality at all and plug my playstation into it, shit's comfywhat now faggot
>>110177501Call me when they debotnet newer LGs, not a custom ROM on cheap chink trash. That would be something.
>>110177961More lies from the big data industry.
>>110178110>That's trivial to just do yourself though honestly, it's nice the AI speeds up the process but it's just removing apps over ADBI thought it RE'd the entire firmware and fixed it at the machine code level :(
>>110185669Hard part about firmware RE is pushing your unsigned unhashed edits back into hardware, not finding and deleting malicious code.
>>110185134(((They))) only know how to lie.
>>110177568>You have no idea how heavily your lifestyle is subsidized by big data.It's bullshit, tvs are not sold at a loss it's just another way to generate profit.
>>110177595>meanwhile computer displays are the same price as a tvSomething doesn't add up.
>>110177501Literally did this today kek. Chatgpt nuked most od the apps over adb. Works great
>>110177501>DNS filtering garbage>alternative launcherAnd that's only for the retards who bought a """smart""" tv.
>>110177568So, why computer screens that don't connect to the internet or have advertising are not $5000 for a 720p 30hz?
>>110177501You won't fool me, LG corporate shill. I WILL debloat my TV out of your shitty ads and spy shit, and there's NOTHING you can do about it. NOTHING.Speaking of which, I'm in the market for a new TV, either 55" or 65". My oldass 2017 Sony TV is starting to die after being used 12-15h a day 7 days a week for almost 10 years as a PC monitor.Which TV would you recommend? OLED is out of the equation with my use, and I don't want to live through delamination horror.Thinking of these models : - TCL QM8L/C8L (especially after the very latest firmware update)- Sony Bravia 7 II Sony Bravia 9 II would be my graal, but it's way too pricey. Might as well buy 3 OLED and throw one into the bin every two years after I killed it.
>>110182033I meant the fucking desert, Egipt.
>>110186603Because you don't buy TV-sized computer screens
>>110177501it gives me hope people are beginning to explore their consumer hardware. I, for once, salute this disruptive technology.
>>110186691>Sony Bravia 7 IIThis one, but I generally recommend shopping physically at a store so you can see the quality first hand and decide whether you even need to go that high end.
>>110177568Go fuck yourself corpo cocksucker. Fuck you, fuck big data, fuck off.
>>110177501the solution I found was to not buy a """smart""" CIA TV in the first place. if it's got a microphone or a camera or in-built ads, I will not buy it. simple as.
>>110177502>>110177501>Server-based privacy blocking isn’t new either—people set up Pi-Holes for this very purpose—but it’s also an ordeal. In the case of cleanyourtv and tv-detox, both expect you to set up an AI coding agent such as Claude Code or ChatGPT’s Codex to help execute the scripts. Those agents typically require a paid plan of some kind, so you’ll be incurring a cost to run these tools. (ChatGPT’s Codex offers a free tier, but you may run into usage limits that hinder your progress.)OH NO NO NO HAHAHAAHHA
>>110177568jewish hands typed this post.
>>110178163I got a 32 inch vizio back in 2010 on sale for $150 before all the mossad spy TVs existed. it still works perfectly to this day. ultimately I don't even really use it that much anymore because 99.9% of my media watching is through my desktop PC. at this point I don't think they'll ever try putting surveillance in PC monitors because 100% of normies already carry around CIA monitoring devices in their pockets everywhere they go, and normies are so oblivious and complacent that they either don't know or don't care that the glowies have records of every moment of everyone's lives; every time you moaned and jerked off with tranny porn grunting in the background, every time you spoke out loud a wrongthink while in private, even your turds plopping into the toilet water in public restrooms, etc, etc. all logged with your name and number in some NSA data center.
>>110187829>integrated microphonea viewboard is not intended for consumer PC use and not even people who can afford something like that would us it as a PC monitor.a standard gaming monitor is 27 inches, and they cost from $60 to $120. even higher end 32+ inch "curved ultrawide 4k" gaming monitors only cost around $400, compared to a comparable size and resolution surveillance TV costing twice that. smart TV tards are paying a premium to be spied on and data harvested and onboard-advertised at for no reason.
>>110178159Buy the TVs LG sells to hotels airlines sensitive corporate environments etcThey don't have built in microphonesIf they did it could be grounds for a lawsuit against unreasonable search and seizure which is different than purchasing a new LG AI SpyTV which invokes consentIf you board a hotel room you still have some degree of reasonable privacy otherwise the establishment can get complaints and low reviewsKnow your rights be wary of new places
>>110186691NO FORK OVER MORE SHEKELS TO RENT PAW PATROL THE MOVIE AND PURCHASE DIRECTTV NFL SUNDAY TICKET NOOOOOOOOOOOWREEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEYOU HAVE UNLEASHED THE BEAST
>>110189175>premiumi dont know where you got your prices but you can get 4k smart tvs for well below $400
so how does this work? I have to give the AI from the internet my WiFi password so it can hack my TV? can't someone just turn this into a flatpack or whatever and make an app out of it?imagine VLC with this feature built in, actual good streaming and library interfaces, and just general easy mode UI and it could take over the whole streaming/mediacenter market.
>>110177501>Please dont use AI hacks to debloat TV
>>110177501I just did it through ADB several years ago. Took less than an hour.Oh, and I installed a simple and clean no frills launcher.
>>110189431I haven't looked into it but I imagine it's reverse engineering the firmware and then debloating it directly
>>110190455>firmwarearen't these things just running some sort of linux and then loading andriod, just like a phone? I guess I just assumed 'rooting' these was already a thing, just recently got my first 'smarttv'
>>110190474Yeah I was wrong, they are using ADB not firmware
>>110177568You're a jew
>>110186691i have an original sony bravia 7 and it has been good enough. sony fixed the optical out and hdmi arc issues, and to my surprise they bumped the android os version as well.tcl takes over bravia on april 1, 2027.
>>110177501People don't get the basics of this.The reason the TV is cheap enough where you fags can buy it in the first place is all that shit, same for printers and overpriced offical ink.If people remove this stuff from their TV in large numbers of if it stops happening, the prices of these things will either explode, or they will stop being made cause they will no longer be economically viable.
With headlines like these there's always low IQ morons like >>110178470 and>>110179751 that don't read the article and instead get outraged at literally nothing. I can't imagine being this fucking stupid.
>>110190733True, but it might mean we get good TVs again. So many TV manufacturers got out of the game because the only viable business model is to rebadge Samsung and LG panels and load them up with spyware, and even then it's a low margin high failure business.
>>110190733TVs were affordable way before this spyware laden era we live in now, why argue in bad faith shill?
>remove all ZOG artifacts
>>110190733exactly so. just like adblock and (traditional) piracy, just do it and shut the fuck up, don't go evangelizing it.>leemao who doesn't use adblock in 2026i see this too much, let the zoomers and boomers and unknowers take the bullet for us
>evaluate outbounding telemetry that could put in risk the consumer privacy >identify chigga nexus elements>identify ZOG nexus elements>render actionable insights
>>110188898>>110190612Good.
>>110177501If you bought an LG smart TV in the last three years, it's recording everything you say, even when you're a room away.
>>110190733That's a total myth.
actually wondering how this is literally done? i have claude code and it keeps flagging me if i mention anything about firmware or adb. dario got the call
Is it possible to bundle this functionality into a program for retards like me who don't have an LLM subscription?I don't mind using the command line but my understanding is that even if you download X, Y and Z packages then run A, B and C commands, there's always going to be an intermediary step which amounts to pointing whichever LLM you have at your television and giving it the nebulous instruction to unfuck and unjew the TV, root and branch.It would be nice if the steps Claude discovers to take for each make/model of television could be separated from Claude itself. So that rather than every person who wants to do it needing Claude or some other LLM it just needs to be done once for each make and model then gets added to a database.
>bloated TVNPC problem
>>110192456Use chink models, problem goes away.

>Just don't connect TV to internetthe TV will still be recording everything, intelligence agencies and law enforcement can still access the data if they get their hands on it and it will eventually be possible for hackers to access them wirelessly if they are within the range of the internal antenna.
>>110192578It already existshttps://github.com/seun-novodev/android-tv-debloat-toolkit
Newman is an English-language surname of Germanic Anglo-Saxon origins. Newman is the modern English form of the name used in Great Britain and among people of British ancestry around the world (as is 'Numan'), while Neumann (with variant spellings) is used in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, and to some degree in The Netherlands and Belgium.[1] Both have their origins in the pre-7th-century (Old English) word neowe meaning "new", with mann, meaning man. Its first recorded uses were Godwin Nieweman in Oxfordshire, England, in 1169, and in Germany, Herman Nyeman of Barth in 1325.[2] It was mostly likely originally used as a nickname for a recent arrival or settler.[3] Related surnames include Neuman, Naumann(s), Numan, Nauman, and Neiman.[4]
>>110193745It's a television. It's supposed to glow. You couldn't see anything if it didn't glow.

>>110177501Seeing these videos show up in my YouTube made me check xda for my previously unhackable fire hd 10. Got it running lineageos now. Everyone check your old devices
>>110194805>>110195022I don't want to sound like a tinfoil hat but these things will aggressively try to connect to any and all networks in order to call home, even with wifi turned "off". Even if you've got a separate TV box to actually watch stuff on, simply having the TV on will have it keep going through those processes, collecting data and trying to transmit, all the while wearing down the hardware that was just *barely* capable of running the UI when it was brand new, ensuring that your smart TV gets slow as fuck within a few years (for some brands within MONTHS)I'm not advocating using AI to do it, but you should absolutely debloat your smart TV whenever possible. Not for the sake of your privacy, but just for the sake of your TV's lifespan and your wallet.
>>110195637Might do this with an old bluray player there has to be a CVE.
