It's wild just how much they're trying to shove AI down our throats.

What's wrong with not having a TV? I feel like a weirdo for even asking, but honest question. I had a black and white TV that got three channels in 2001, but haven't had it or any other TV since then. I just watch Netflix on my phone.

The only place where the AI push is annoying me so far is fb msngr adding a screen-space hog of "use meta to summarize 12 unread messages" when I've already read them three times and the messages are shorter than a summary would be ๐Ÿ˜‚

A lot of people use TVs to watch shows with someone else. Phones suck for that. When I'm watching something alone I just use my computer and its fine. When I'm watching with someone we use the TV.

That makes sense. My partner and I just lay in bed to watch on our phones, but at his son's house they have a TV with a firestick and use that.

Nothing wrong with it tbh. If your phone is big enough for ya that's fine.

If you ever did get a tv get something like a roku to use for netflix.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind
