No, which is why people saying "Buy it and don't connect it to the internet" isn't helping. More people need to not buy it and tell other people not to buy it.

To get them to stop they need to lose both the original sale and the additional advertising revenue. Right now their thinking is:

  • People are buying our TVs
  • Putting advertising on them isn't causing our sales to drop
  • Therefore it's costing us next to nothing to do.
  • It often gets us extra revenue if they connect to the internet.
  • If they don't connect, we still more than covered our costs.

There is no downside for them. Only upside. The equation needs to change for them to stop doing it.

They're industrial boxes with a screen. Not aesthetically what I want in my living room. The displays are chosen for their longevity, not their picture quality. They're often actively cooled with fans, so adding a noise level to their operation.

Have you asked an LLM to translate anything bigger than a few sentences? It doesn't have enough contextual storage to keep a whole paper "in mind" and soon wanders off into nonsense.

Google translate is a different beast.

I don't like the hate speech laws because I think they can be abused to include far too much, however NO LAW SHOULD BE CHANGED IN THE UK IN THE PERSUIT OF TRADE WITH THIS CUNT.

He can fuck right off.

You're still rewarding bad behaviour. They still put all the crap on and made the sale anyway.

I agree, but with TVs (or large displays" we're at the point where there are no good options. Commercial displays are over engineered for the home and lag in technology Vs home TVs. So they're not an option. Lg and Samsung are the display technology leaders, but their TVs are full of crap— so no. Monitors don't go large enough for the living room.

Guess I'm stuck with what I have.

The US has an export ban from Taiwan?

Translating is the process of rewriting the paper in another language. The paper has been written (in English) by an LLM.

Check the results though. Google translate is far far better at translation than a generic LLM.

Adding extra polish like nonsense phrases. Nobody is supervising it then.
