Developer shares project to make smart TVs smart again

Original: Show HN: Making a smart TV dumb and then smart

A developer has released an open-source project called r2d2-tv that strips the unwanted features from a smart TV and rebuilds it into a genuinely useful device, first making the TV 'dumb' and then adding smarter, self-controlled functionality. The project is being shared on Hacker News, where it has drawn over a hundred upvotes as readers discuss reclaiming control over their home hardware.

Why now: People are reacting to a clever open-source hack that addresses growing frustration with intrusive, ad-laden smart TVs.
