Smart TVs are a scam!

sceptre tvs are a fucking scam. absolute bottom of the barrel worst shit technology of all time. i paid $50 for someone to come take mine away.

>>106228472 (OP)
Install mitmproxy and then use that to check what domains it pings to confirm internet access. Then use dnsmasq to trick it to resolve those domains to your webserver but block every other domain.

Maybe don't sit 3 inches away from the screen tardio

you're SICK

>>106229614
then give me more inches.

>>106228472 (OP)
But why?

>>106228472 (OP)
Let it connect to your wifi but block it from external access on your router control panel

Many people are talking about OP's rug

>>106228472 (OP)
>There must be a way
lift up the part where it begins to fold, push the corner down below the cabinet, then let go. that should fix your rug

is there not an offline mode?

>>106228472 (OP)
it depends on the reason, like is there something you can't use it for because it's offline?
technically this is possible, but not in a generic way. like if you find out what it uses to check for connectivity, and emulate that. for a simple example, say it checks for being online by pinging a specific domain, you could set up an sbc or something that responds to pings from said domain without involving the internet at all

are there regular TVs these days, without android/not "smart"?

i fucked that rug

NTA but not setting up wifi will result in tv nagging you to setup wifi. Giving free access to internet will make the tv start displaying ads in its UI. I shit you not. Imagine hire pleaded I was when my brand new 60” Samsung TV started spamming me with Xbox game pass ads every single time I touched my remote

>>106231119
wtf

i wonder if it'd be enough to have it connected to wifi just by itself. like for example either connect it to your wifi but firewall it so it can't communicate with anything, or for something even simpler, buy a cheap second have wifi access point and connect the tv to that, just a standalone access point not hooked up to anything but power and the tv so there's nothing for it to communicate with.

>>106231212
Most routers have simple parental controls that allow you to restrict or straight up block devices by MAC address

>>106231263
yea, but you can't use mac filtering here as then the tv won't be able to connect to that wifi at all. regardless of how you do it, what i'm saying is that you can connect something to /wifi/ without connecting it to the internet. just a fenced off wifi network that has no route to the internet

>>106228472 (OP)
go plug in another cheapo router that never connects online

>>106228694
If you care about picture quality at all, you cannot get anything but an OLED. Is there a dumb OLED available anywhere? 55" minimum.

>>106232874
>Is there a dumb OLED available anywhere?
Yes, they're called "Commercial TVs". Pic related

>>106228694
I bought a cheap ass smart tv and never connected it to internet. It works without.
Finding one that isn't smart is not easy, I mean you do have to look.
