  • Not for a dumb tv but I own a newer Vizio. I actually use it as a huge desktop monitor through HDMI. The actual tv itself has never been connected to the internet. You could connect a streaming stick (roku, amazon, google) if you wanted to. I stream everything from the net. Vizio has a horrible “free” streaming tv service that tracks you. But you can still use the actual tv in other ways if you don’t connect it to the net. It will act as a dumb tv.
    Until we have a federal privacy law that allows us to opt out of being tracked on every device, you have to “work around” the problems.












  • McAfee Antivirus.
    Got so tired of the software slowing down the computer and freaking out over non-virus programs. Also the price to renew was stupid.
    No need for AV running 24/7 on Linux.
    After using a few different distros over a couple of years I decided to never go back to Windows (and I detest Apple so that will never be an option), and I settled on Kubuntu.
    So. Damn. Happy.
