Imagine walking into your living room and your TV automatically telling you the weather and your calendar for the day. If this is a future you can imagine, you’ll be pleased to hear that Google is working on a new mode for Google TV that does just that.

I’d prefer to imagine a world in which a multi-billion dollar corporation isn’t tracking my every step to sell me more shit, and yet here we are…
Drink Verification Can.
Say McDonalds to continue
I continue to look for dumb tvs, but there are precious few. They’re either small, or big outdoor monitors. I want an awesome screen TV that’s dumb as dirt.
Every TV is a dumb TV it isn’t connected to internet.
They all have annoyances when you don’t do what they want. I want a TV that doesn’t want anything.
Pretty sure roku ones don’t allow to be used until you accept their terms online
Wow, I’m glad I never had the chance to experience that
my LG oled works really well as a dumb TV with it disconnected from the Internet
lol, Google is an advertising company, this will be a nightmare “feature”.
ad will complete once presence is detected
I would gladly factory reset my television and run off osmc or something if that becomes the norm.
well only if that becomes possible at all
I was referring to running a second device. Running the TV off osmc would rock, but not happening.
Frustrating fact: I have to wait for my LG TV to boot. It shows a picture, but takes a minute to load the OS and produce sound.

I can do this already, all locally, with home assistant. Thanks anyway.
I did it all with a Pi powered magicmirror2 which I prefer since it’s my bathroom mirror anyway.
Right, I’m ok with the TV (or local assistant) knowing I’m in the room. But why does personal convenience have to become the panopticon, tech bros?
because they only make some money selling you convenience and they can make all the money by putting you in a panopticon.
No it will fucking not dumpster
The weather will be what it will be, and I already have a calendar.
The TV is off until the evening anyways, I cannot see the point of this at all.
Fortunately, Google TV is fairly easy to lock down and has permission management similar to android (because its just android with a custom launcher)
system apps have whatever permissions they want, and you can’t remove them. so much for easy permission management, when the adversary is the manufacturer
No. I dont want that. Look for something that I actually want and try not to add it to the Google graveyard.
I thought this was The Onion for a second xD
