Somehow, advanced Triada malware was added to devices before reaching resellers.

        The correct answer is usually Raspberry pi + github.

        Although I have no idea what those mean

          You can easily configure those with block-chain based AI.

      Almost any ARM SBC and a dumb TV will do, install linux/a minimal wayland compositor and waydroid and youre laughing

      Any time there’s a advancement you just update the board, instead of the whole TV (which its not like normal smart TV’s update their ports anyways?)
