Developer shares project to make smart TVs dumb and smart again
Original: Show HN: Making a smart TV dumb and then smart
A developer has released an open-source project that strips a smart TV of its built-in tracking and bloat, then adds custom smart features under the user's control. The project, shared on GitHub under the name r2d2-tv, is drawing attention from tech enthusiasts who enjoy tinkering with consumer hardware to regain ownership of their devices.
Why now: Growing frustration with ads, tracking and forced updates on smart TVs is driving interest in ways to take control of the hardware.
