I will flat out not buy a TV that doesn't have a least two HDMI ports, VGA in and a standard headphone jack anymore. I bought one a few years ago with a single HDMI port and it was shear fucking torture until I bought a HDMI switcher from Ali Express. Even then, that switcher required external power.
That's another thing, switchers are becoming mandatory anymore. Used to be they gave you like 5. And there's plenty of space for it. But no. For some reason, they expect you to stream your blu ray player to the TV or some shit. Fuck off
You have a smart TV now, it connects itself to the Internet and streams all the content, why do you need any ports at all?
When I buy a TV, I expect to be able to have ha hardliners connection from everything from my Xbox, to older consoles, to my old VHS player, and most importantly, the soundbar. Gimme my ports.
And of course it's wireless so it not only eats a bunch of bandwidth streaming video, sometimes going over a completely rational amount to have, but also dies and rebuffers, sometimes incessantly, until you fuck around with the connection.
I have a Samsung dumb TV from 2010. It has four HDMI ports, VGA, RCA, and optical inputs, 2 USB ports and a headphone jack. It is literally perfect and I will use this fucking thing until it bursts into flames.
But muh 8K
8k is a psyop. I was raised most movies looked better on VHS because you couldn't see how badly made everything was.
I don't know, there's something charming about a crappy B-movie with a terrible VHS transfer getting a film scan and restoration, and the crappiness is in full clarity. At least then, you can at least see what the creators visualized in its "intended" splendor.
honestly, that's the fun of these movies
Whatsapp is even more trash now. All the more reason to spin up a private Matrix server for those in your circles.
A lot of social media names are complete bollocks
Apple's are pretty okay actually.
It became popular because it allowed you to call people through the internet without using your call charges. You could call someone across borders with no roaming.
