I've installed hundreds of these, many that were playing video and even movies. They work fine, they look fine but they don't have the image processing features, yes. Some like Samsung so purport to still use the same image tech even internally so it'll be subjective. But the request was for a dumb TV and this, they do exist and are pretty common, you can buy them online.

That said I don't and wouldn't use one in my house since I I don't put my TVs online or use the smart features and for regular use they do look a bit nicer. Different product, different focus. Question is what is the cred of owning a dumb tv worth to you

Commercial monitors for digital signage. These days they have some sort of playback system installed but the markets they are meant for means they work out of the box, no cameras, no mics, no internet needed:

Yeah this is right in my industry so I have had to make this case to customers dozens if not hundreds of times when they ask "i can get a 55" TV at best buy for like $300"

And yes you can can and that's even a viable plan but your warranty is DOA as soon as you hang it up in a store or restaurant so be prepared to replace when it fails. Sometimes that is the better value still!

The commercial one is $1200 but it has a 3 or 5 or even 7 year warranty that the vendor will send someone to repair on-site. Just depends on the use case and customer.

To be fair these displays are generally built to higher quality standards as well, they're meant to go into environments to run 16/7 or 24/7 and are warrantied as such so they're just made different and they sell far less of them then the consumer sets.

Yup, plenty out there in all the common sizes, just won't find them nearly as cheap as your average living room TV;

Commercial Displays

Wallpaper displays were the promise of OLED for 20 years but they've never quite been able to get the tech developed and reliable and cheap enough. Even LG is starting to lean away from it despite being the only company who really managed to manufacture it at scale, it's remained a premium display with some caveats rather than the replacement for LCD.

Maybe MicroLED will fulfill that promise but that is also still another 5-10 years away from being truly scaled up.

If anyone is interested about a year ago a team tracked one of the last working models to a noodle factory in Japan and managed to relocate it to the US, its quite a journey:

What Happened to the World's Largest Tube TV?

Do we not think it's a little silly to say "developers have a target to develop for" and then list 4 different methods that could be mixed and matched across dozens of distros? Do we have to make a permanent link to the 12 year old video of Linus himself complaining about this very problem and where he says he has hope Valve will eventually solve this problem?

Cybersecurity falls under the DHS, if only there was a group dedicated to securing the governments networks

But you know, I have confidence that getting the team together and digging through the evidence and with some real hard work and gumption they will discover a way to blame Joe Biden for this.

No, this is in the interest of Republicans way more. This framing helps them, when you find a "both sides suck" person chances are they are conservative deep down, ask them who they voted for.

No, that's something people say but don't actually believe, again, this is Reoublican framing.

If people cared about government working they wouldnt have voted for the guy and party who consistently want to make government not work and voted for the people who actually want to try to make it work.

From what I can tell Trump personally still believes in vaccination but he's not the type of person to take a stance unpopular with his base.

The formula for this admin and Republicans for a long while has been "if Democrats support a thing we must oppose a thing" and even if that opposition is turning out false then they will do whatever they can to bend reality to make it true. To me that framing has a lot of predictive power even if when it seem just so stupidly simple.

I didn't say they were heavier?

Look, we put a label on every bag that says, “Kid! Be careful – broken glass!” I mean, we sell a lot of products in the “Bag O'” line.. like Bag O’ Glass, Bag O’ Nails, Bag O’ Bugs, Bag O’ Vipers, Bag O’ Sulfuric Acid. They’re decent toys, you know what I mean?

We were doing it, about 4 years ago actually but this is actual policy and management of capitalism from competent public service. So much so that instead of doubling down on success and creating more jobs, more productivity and stronger supply chains we are doing... tariffs?

CHIPS and Science Act

And if we don't like subsidies like this well, that's the actual capitalist solution when markets fail, the other alternative is the heavy handed option so we need to choose which way western man. You can have competitive authoritarianism (right now), liberal capitalism (Biden) or things will start to skew towards socialism, and I mean actual socialism, not the "everything I don't like is socialism" that people like to peddle in
