My ASUS laptop has this driver utility that gets installed along with Windows automatically that shows McAfee antivirus ads.
Almost got a heart attack first time, thought I got virus on clean install already. Turns out it’s just ASUS showing me ads on laptop I bought from them.
What’s funny is that Reddit has been heavily infested by bots and trolls even before widespread LLM usage for chatbots. And it became even more evident after certain subs became dead overnight after Reddit got banned in Russia.
And now it has come to just a cycle of AI data regurgitation and eating it back up. 🌚
I just looked in my local online electronics shop, and there are lots of decent non-smart TV’s of various brands - Philips, Kivi, Thompson etc.
Using “dumb” Toshiba TV with RPi as TV box myself - it supports HDMI-CEC too, so only TV remote is enough.
