It is possible to put it in a VLAN that is unable to talk to the internet. This is fine, but I wish I could just get a TV that doesn’t have this tracking functionality to begin with.
Please tell me where I can get a modern high-res TV that is NOT smart. I have tried but cannot find them anywhere
While I agree that most websites ship way too much js, there are many possible use cases which aren’t just to facilitate tracking and data collection. Some legit uses could be animations which cannot be achieved easily with just CSS, or the ability to update data asynchronously without reloading the page.
Which ones are you thinking of? Out of the options I am aware of, Signal seems to be the most secure, most reliable, and most privacy respecting messaging app in this category.
Thanks for the tip, I might get one of those :)
