I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD** - eviltoast

we live in hell

I don’t even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they’re saying…hey do you want a worse experience?

      Scepters are horrendous pieces of shit.

      YMMV of course, but I’ve owned two Spectres. Rock solid, no problems. Decade later, they’re still going strong. /shrug

        I’m particularly a huge fan of LG televisions. Of course that doesn’t help if you’re trying to avoid smart altogether.

        Also if you’re going LG… Their televisions are great but don’t touch their fucking home appliances. Ever. I don’t get the discrepancy between the two different parts of the same company. Beautiful televisions but things like they’re washers and dryers are notoriously horrible pieces of shit.
