minus-squareCyrus Draegur@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16arrow-down1·1 year agoKinda want to get one and rip it apart to extract the screens, strip the copper, etc. Turn it into a monitor with my own screen driver silicon.
minus-squarework is slow@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26·1 year agoI just looked it up and they charge up to $1000 if you block ads or tamper with it. They have all sorts of crazy requirements too.
minus-squareEcstatic_equilibrium@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down1·1 year agoIf that’s the case, then it’s cheaper to just buy a 50” tv. Way cheaper than the $1000 they make you pay
minus-squareNeato@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·1 year agoThat’s the point. If you can afford even a $400 tv, you won’t buy this. It’s for people for whom $1000 is unobtainable. So they’ll watch the ads rather than risk a lawsuit and penalty.
