      I think that makes a bit of a dilemma. Which is better slop software with quality issues or proprietary closed source which could be running any number of malicious processes?

          The problem is I don’t know the answer! It’s a case by case issue that takes real effort to resolve each time.

              I’m flipping between this comment thread and another one about a tv that looks similar to mine saying it’s out of storage with the discussion being about thee fact the storage has likely been filled with unsynced log files. I’ve been thinking about loading some custom slop firmware on my tv for a while now but I’d rather work on fun projects than have to ward off the onslaught of major corporations trying to abuse us.
