    My stupid fucking "smart" TV that stops what I'm watching, goes blank, and takes two minutes to restart (or whatever-the-fuck it's doing) just to show me some god damn ad about a different streaming service.

    It does this once a day, at minimum. And, half the time it gets stuck rebooting. So, I have to switch the power strip off and on to get it to work again. I used to have the power strip hidden behind everything, but now it's out in front since I have to do it everyday.

    My favorite part is: It only does when a show is on. I could leave it on the Netflix home screen for 4 hours, and it will just sit there. It waits until I'm 40 minutes into a movie like a piece of shit.

    I know I could just get a Roku or whatever, but that seems so stupid, when the apps are all built in.

    Fuck you TV! (it's a Vizio, btw).

    • Get an Apple TV or other similar streamer. You won’t have that happen ever again.monospaced
    • It’s not stupid to get an external device. They are superior, faster, and receive regular updates unlike your tv which has none of that.monospaced
    • My Samsung Frame does this (but doesn’t show an ad.) It’s just old and faulty I thinknb
    • Yeah. Get an Apple TV. The remote sucks but you can use your phone. It's a cheap one-time investment you'll have for years.CyBrainX
