I had the tv for ages and I basically never turned it on because it was so enshittified with their shit software anyways.
I do have experience with software and reverse engineering but it's not what you think. It's mostly trying to reverse engineer pin outs for old scientific equipment or rat tailed sensors that come from China with no documentation. Check my post history.
I didn't need to do shit for the TV thing. I just finished watching the episode of GN and was like " well I've got a Samsung that's basically a brick anyways because it's so enshittifed, worst that could happen is it stays a brick.
What I found out is I don't need to rewrite the firmware to take control. There are basically APIs for most things.
Just go try it.
