ionVolutionionVolution@mastodon.socialSep 9, 2026, 9:13 PM@gael I habe been trying to find an open source ROM for my Smart TV, but vendor's lock-in prevents bootloader unlock. Now, we know why. The funny thing is that they says that bootloaders are locked due to security reasons....
giorgiopasqualinigiorgiopasqualini@vivaldi.netSep 10, 2026, 7:56 AM@gael the only solution seems to be:
1) never, ever connect your smart TV to the internet
2) enable "hotel mode" to have your TV go to your chosen HDMI input whenever you turn it on
3) use a smart TV box that respects your privacy (maybe we can create a Murena TV box based on Kodi/LibreElec? )
