      I’ve had a few smart TVs, and none of them have ever bothered me with ads I don’t know what TVs people are getting. But currently I have a Panasonic TV and a Samsung TV and both of those are fine.

        Mine is not ads as I haven’t connected it to the internet, but the fact that the settings out of the box on a so-called state-of-the-art TV are absolutely fucked and contrary to how it should be.

      My cars have all been relatively stupid, by modern standards, my motorbikes too, as I’ve never owned anything younger than ten years.

      Linux would be great if… I could get it on great hardware, and have it play VR games (plus any modern titles). I’m teetering on a second hand Razer Blade running W10 to get my fix.
