Comment on stupid smart TVs

I’ve refused to hook my TV up to the internet. Massive bloatware and spyware machine. I bought high end. Samsung 70" top of the line last year. But everything I watch is though a jailbroken 4k firestick or straight up on disc.
It’s a pain in the ass to switch inputs. THERES NO INPUT BUTTON. It wants to choose FOR ME what input I’m using based off the most recent input. Lick my balls. I’ll switch from the first stick to the Xbox but if the fire stick is still streaming I’ll choose the Xbox and it’ll switch back to the firestick. Fuck you. I can’t even imagine if I let that thing connect to the internet. It’d probably want a huge update, send everything I watch back to hq, and then try to show me ads. Fuck you Koreans.
It’s a great tv. Top of the line picture quality. But it’s about as good as it gets in this age. If I was more tech savvy I could probably make it better but I’m not.
I had this issue too but I was able to find a setting to enable something about “last app” so it would only open to the last app I had it on, not auto switching to whatever the fuck it wanted to open on start up.
That was so annoying. I hardly use my Xbox anymore but it always defaulted to that for some reason.
Granted, my Samsung TV is, unfortunately, connected to the internet and I keep it updated so it is possible that a new update has enabled this setting for me at some point.

Samsung’s auto input stuff is so frustrating. When I had one I would just plug and unplug into the last input used but even then it would try to detect input for settings I guess and delay me over a minute.
