my TV incurred my wrath by having the gall to show me a banner ad while I was in the middle of a game.

so I promptly cut its balls off. (disabled the internet entirely). now it is a dumb TV. and it behaves like a TV. and not an ad machine.

I'm not any techier than the average millennial. Maybe my trust issues are worse than average. I don't regret my actions.

Laptop now. Learning how to utilize these new capabilities.
