gollark: A "bar"?
gollark: Also, their "smart" stuff is crashy and now sometimes you can't access even basic "display video sent on HDMI port" functionality without that.
gollark: Plus smart TVs tend to be hilariously insecure and break soon since they don't get updated.
gollark: Oh, yes, that TOTALLY works and there's ALWAYS an easy setting.
gollark: Even if you're okay with Google and whoever else doing it, *this is other companies*.
