Scepter is the only brand I know of that still makes Dumb TVs.

But the screen quality on them can be a real roll of the dice.

last time we had presidential corruption, it was pardoned “to help the country heal”.

Which was utter bullshit and Ford should have been impeached and put on trial for doing it… but America does not have a good history of holding presidential malfeasance particularly accountable.

I find it impossible to believe that there is any chance that they will allow this election to proceed unmolested

They’re already talking about stationing their gestapo ICE at voting locations across the country, They are actively, and openly, discussing their plans to openly interfere in the election. The only question is if its gonna be via violence and disappearance before people can get in the door to vote, or if its gonna be absconding with the ballots after voting, but before counting.

just get rid of Smart TVs in general. Go back to simple dumb TVs.

If I want smart features, I can slap a Roku or something else on the TV.

Also, Remember, They have a urgent criminal need to subvert these elections, to maintain power.

Because the epstein file releases, * which have been heavily redacted and censored in their favor*, still reveals a vile cult of sick child rapists.

They are literally fighting for their lives, That is how desperate they are to steal these next two elections. Thats why they are so dangerous right now, Thats why they are trying to crush the public with ICE, Its why they are trying to build databases of opponents and dissidents, its why they are doing everything they can to violently intimidate and suppress anyone wanting to act against them.

Thats why they are so obsessed with fraud, because, as they’ve done for 50 years, Republicans always point the finger at the democrats for everything that the republicans themselves do, want to do, or will do.

Why…why would you do this

Especially toddlers.

Remember, its only election fraud if a republican loses.

even if its on the same ballot, if 12 republicans win on the ballot, and 1 democrat wins… Its only the democrat win thats fraudulent, not the entire ballot. not the republican votes.

Republican votes are never fraudulent, especially when they are.

Because Trumps stupid shit that he has no power to do has totally been stopped and checked so far.

I switched to Linux when Windows 7 became EoL.

Anyone paying attention to what they were doing with 10, knew what would be coming with 11… and somehow its even worse than expected… thanks to the sudden appearance of the greatest environmental disaster of our time… AI.

I dont know, but it would involve a gun so I could shoot the fucker that brought me back, and then put myself back to sleep with the second shot.

Shhh, back in the locker with you. You’ll be with your mother soon.

Would the United States, under normal circumstances, in the era of cellphones and cameras?

No.

Would Trump?

I don’t think theres a single thing that Trump wouldnt do, he is such a infantile, reactionary, egomaniacable manbaby that I can see him doing literally anything, if it makes him feel powerful or if he thinks it’d give him some kind of edge/opportunity.

no no, you rake fires.

Yep, and that added complexity to make a dumb TV smart, just means theres more parts that are likely to die and make ethe TV not work.

Its bullshit that the only way to get large dumb TVs anymore is to roll the dice on a Scepter… Which, given how they procure their screens, could either give you a great TV or a shit TV.

Yeah, exactly. TVs were better back then. they were more durable (The Wiimote accidents would never send a CRT to the dump), and actually repairable.

and they lasted decades. Hell, I’ve seen people find CRT TVs found abandoned in fields for years and bring them back with minimal effort.

as long as the tube/neck of a CRT is intact, it will run/be repairable.

By that logic, I should go out and just start a murder spree, because people die anyway so whats the point.

The coathanger experiment should have been the coffin lid on all the audiophile/overpriced super ultra premium cable bullshit.

TV manufacturers salivated at the idea of TV resolution, hoping desperately to turn the TV market into something like the PC market, in that you have to upgrade every 5ish years to stay on top of technology and use the latest stuff.

I’m glad the plan is failing spectacularly.

Hopefully this forces them to think more about quality and start focusing on TVs that actually last now… You know, like we used to have 30 years ago.

If thats the case, then I’d wager you’ll probably enjoy playing the game and stop paying attention to the graphics by the time you get out of the starting area.
