  • Not sure if there’s a list, but most Android based TVs can be cleaned and modded to some degree via ADB. If you can access the dev settings in android, chances are you can do a lot to make it better, strip out some google or branded packages, replace the launcher to block OS level ads etc. Projectivy usually works well since it supports input switching on many devices, but it’s still better to do all of this to a separate box and then plug it into a TV that is firewalled/filtered/offline. more control and less to fuck up.

    Rooting and unlocking bootloaders is more complex as these android devices dont have normal recovery systems and require a lot of custom drivers to make the video and audio processing work, so it’s not worth going that far.


  • LCDs do tend to speak somewhat standardised languages, but there is a lot more to a modern TV than just an LCD controller.

    Color and white balance calibration, image/motion processing, HDR Processing, backlight control/dimming zones, input management, audio decoding/encoding/passthrough, digitizing analogue sources, HDMI licencing, Dolby licencing, etc.

    If you want a better smart TV the best thing to do is to get a hackable TV like most android based models, replace the launcher, strip out system apps and telemetry with ADB and start fresh, then either leave it offline or use filtering to only allow access to the services you approve.





  • Funilly enough Fosters is japanese now, and hasn’t been Australian for decades.

    Asahi have been buying up all of Australia’s breweries, even a bunch of popular micros are owned by them now.

    Before asahi, they were owned by ABINBEV and SABMiller.

    It was actually made in many countries by the likes of Heineken, Coors, Molson, and others. I don’t think any true fosters has been made in Australia and exported for a very long time.






  • Actually the history of Stroganoff is a messy one, it definately originated in russia, but we dont really know where or when, some are tomato based and some have no cream at all, some have freaking pickles in it. the true origins of the dish are lost.

    The modern western strog is closer to chinese strog than any of the slavic strogs. Japanese strog is its own thing that seems to be based on an older recipe likely replicated from memory or from a vague description.








  • Sure they’re being a bit combative by making these posts and that is questionable, but the original reason for removal was just “fake news” with no other explanation which is a hilariously unprofessional way to handle it.

    Also, I have now been banned from that community by the mod in question for my reply above, which is incredible and just furthers my point that the mod needs to explain their actions more clearly rather than just banning people who question them, and they should definitely stop cyberstalking people talking about it on other instances.
