Nevermind that the static "snow" that you see is cosmic background radiation*
*well a part of it
Mmmmm.... Radiation.
the camo wall is from when I was a kid. I painted it with my dad, and even though it doesn't really fit me anymore, I don't want to paint over it because I liked doing it.
Edit: also no, the steam deck is not powering the monitor. I put it there because I liked the juxtaposition between the 90s CRT and 2023 OLED steam deck. It's an old 2200+ AMD sempron. Also yes I know it's a PC monitor, not a TV. It's still a CRT, hush.
Edit 2: after fighting with spoilers, I give up.
Do TVs actually refuse to work if you don't connect them to the internet?
Depends on the TV. Most of them work without internet. Only a few of them fit the meme.
Actually, I just realized that the TV wouldn't know to update if it isn't connected to the internet, so the meme falls apart.
Get separate speakers (which you should anyway because TV speaker quality is 💩) and use a computer monitor. They're available in larger sizes than you'd expect (e.g. Newegg has one at 55") and then you just plug in an HDMI cable and you're good to go.
I'm no brand loyalist, but the Samsung soundbar I bought 8 years ago has served me extremely well.
Old TVs could also take a hit from a bowling ball without a problem, new ones can break if hit by a rubber band!
Old ones could also distort the image if you moved a strong magnet across the screen.

then you get the greatest sound of all time when degaussing
remember all the broken flat screens back when the wii first came out?
Post memes here.
