A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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 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
