The fuck? Milk is 2x to 4x cheaper ($0.50-$1.00) than the most common gas, Natural 95 ($2.10) here. I thought you'd get something from those crazy "Got milk?" dairy subsidies...
(Multiply by 4.5 to get US units rather than liters)
How have TVs gotten so cheap. It's gotta be shit.
They stopped making them out of gasoline.
Boy you are gonna be shocked when you learn about where plastic comes from.
Nearly all tvs are smart tvs that make money with showing ads and selling data. Any loss on the hardware is made up on selling customer data and ad space. The tvs would be amazing if they didn't come with smart features.
did this happen recently? i got mine in 2019 its enormous and all it does it turn on and lets me play xbox
TV?No, it's just a big display
The build quality is not great, they saved on backlight heatsinking so the LEDs will bake and delaminate, causing dark spots, discoloration etc.
Is there any way to lobotomize these smart TVs? Even the specs on a cheaper mid-range would blow my current dinosaur out of the water
Never connect them to the internet
You want your favorite streaming service on there? Get an older (used office) PC, load it up with (your prefered flavor of) Linux, get a bluetooth keyboard mouse combo, hook it up to your HDMI port, and go ham.
Some TVs even let you turn them on directly to a specific HDMI port for a bonus fun time of never having to see the TVs menu.
Don't connect them to the internet.
True, I'll probably end up going that route when this one dies (assuming they don't all require sign in and heartbeats at that point)
Was hoping for something like a FOSS OS just for the convenience of keeping jellyfin up to date and cleaning up the useless baked in apps.
This probably exists, or at least I hope it does
Use an external media player. Personally, I use a roku routed through a pihole.
I'm guessing it's all advertising deals and spyware. Oh, and the TV is still shit.
Yea, TVs are all βSmartβ now. But they donβt have any truly new or useful features, they just record your conversations and transmit occurrences of keywords as βusage and diagnosticβ data. I guess now they can use wifi to do occupancy scans of your house too, so thatβs fun. Oh and they use Bluetooth to scan for nearby devices that are willing to cooperate in case you donβt put them on the LAN and they transmit that way.
Anyway, TNG has left Netflix. Can you fucking believe it?
TNG left Netflix like eight years ago... π¦Yarrrr
My blu-ray set is still on my shelf.

They externalize their true cost to the environment and laborers.
Don't forget ads! They're also subsidized by the ads they're definitely going to inject if you use the built in OS.
Usually the cheap ones are so cheap they donβt even do that.
In both cases. We don't pay nearly the real cost of gasoline.

Well the gas would be cheaper if they could somehow make it contain advertising and data theft
Oh wait till you find out about how modern cars are mining your data, including facial recognition and reporting of you are having sex in the car! And the best part itβs all unregulated! Govt can simply buy the info for tracking even your Phone would be jealous of!
As someone who makes that software that does this, we can't even figure out how to properly handle the data we actually want, like analytics to see if anyone actually uses the auto feature on your air conditioner. Nobody actually cares if you have sex in your car. Besides you're on Lemmy we know your aren't having sex.
Why is it all in the terms of service? Also there have there been numerous data leaks. The sex thing is from a specific manufacturer mβs TOS, but nonetheless
I love it when the government finds out when I have sex. It's so romantic β just me, her, and the CIA.

Yeah gas should be a lot more expensive.
Why is your fuel so cheap??
Because the US is the largest exporter of petroleum products in the world.

There was a Planet Money episode that broke down where the $4/gallon went in 2022:
$2.40 for the price of crude oil when priced at $100/barrel.
$0.65 to the refiner that turns crude oil into gasoline (this was the prevailing spread in 2022, maybe different now).
$0.184 in federal taxes
$0.30 in state taxes
$0.20 to $0.50 for transportation from the refiner to the actual retail station.
Remainder is for the retailer (usually about $0.30 but fluctuates wildly).
That's how it is in the U.S. In other countries, it might be higher taxes, higher cost of refining, higher costs of transportation from the refiner, and higher margins for the retailer.

Gas would be more expensive if it wasn't subsidized.
High fuel prices is a good thing and a 32" TV shouldn't be that cheap.
And I think you shouldn't be driving a giant gas guzzling SUV or truck.
