tl;dr- don't connect the tv to a network, get an apple tv
Digital signage displays are purpose-built for displaying corporate messages, often for all or most hours of the day. They typically have features that people don’t need for TV watching, such as content management software. And due to their durability and warranty needs, digital signage displays are often more expensive than similarly specced computer monitors.Again, it’s important to ensure that the digital signage is HDCP 2.2-compliant if you plan to watch 4K or HDR.But if you happen to come across a digital signage display that’s the right size and the right price, is there any real reason why you shouldn’t use it as a TV? I asked Panasonic, which makes digital signage. A spokesperson from Panasonic Connect North America told me that digital signage displays are made to be on for 16 to 24 hours per day and with high brightness levels to accommodate “retail and public environments.”The spokesperson added:Their rugged construction and heat management systems make them ideal for demanding commercial use, but these same features can result in higher energy consumption, louder operation, and limited compatibility with home entertainment systems.Panasonic’s representative also pointed out that real TVs offer consumer-friendly features for watching TV, like “home-optimized picture tuning, simplified audio integration, and user-friendly menu interfaces.”If you’re fine with these caveats, though, and digital signage is your easiest option, there isn’t anything stopping you from using one to avoid smart TVs.
Even my proxmox web interface lasts deeper into a reboot than sshd. It boots you immediately while you can watch the vms shut down for the next 3 minutes in the browser.
I rebooted a machine that had an Nvidia driver crash. It didn't finish the reboot, but it did seem to stop sshd so I can't get in until I get home and have physical access. I had a ping running so I could watch, it never dropped. 🫠
Lesson here: put your experimental boxes on a WiFi plug and set them to boot on AC restoration.
I hate that others have jumped on the door handle trends. It's like apple being "brave enough" to remove the headphone port. My car at least has the electric switch and mechanical backup on the same handle. I don't love it, but you can't get trapped inside.
So we can add napping to sleep and hibernate
