@ketan pretty shure #Australia due tovit's low population density will literally be able to do Solarthermal Power Generation as main source and go 100% renewable way before 2050.
I mean, basically almost all major cities are near coasts, so there's no reason beyond NIMBYs to not do Wind Power as well…

With "Age Verification" we'd neither see Reddit nor Markdown, cuz Aaron Swartz started these in his teens!
@Hex @saxnot @groxx @silberfuchs Consider buying a "Monitor" or "Digital Signage Display" instead?
- Those are just Stupid TVs these days…
@AT1ST @saxnot @groxx @silberfuchs @Hex well, I've yet to find a TV (or any screen) that doesn't turn on upon getting an HDMI/DVI/VGA/DP/SCART signal.
- And the few cases where you don't want people fumbling around (and you can't be assed to i.e. send a Wake-on-LAN packet) are digital signage and those are on 24/7 or get powered on/off by scheduled breakers anyway…
@AT1ST @saxnot @groxx @silberfuchs @Hex one could have the same with like Kodi…
@groxx @silberfuchs @Hex I mean, my 10 yr old stupid TV still works fine.
- No reason to replace anything!
@acsawdey or better yet:
Don't buy at all.
- If it ain't broken, no need to replace it!

Like I'd just flatout refuse to buy a TV that doesn't allow me to just plug & play!
@silberfuchs @Hex what?
- You gonna tell me there isn't a single TV that one can just plug in and feed images via HDMI like a normal person?
- I mean, worst-case I'll get a digital signage screen from illyama.
But so far my cheapo 40" 1080p IPS-LCD-TV refuses to die, so I see no reason to even consider replacing it.
@Hex Personally, I'd just flatout refuse to use/buy a "Smart TV"…
I have a stupid panel and it works fine!
