  • No one makes a 65+" oled monitor so before anyone suggests “just buy a monitor” you can’t, I have looked.

    Up until last year, I would have said get a good quality projector but even projectors have started getting infiltrated with smart “features” now.

    Digital signage was also an option but oled options are basically non-existent and they often have matte screens that make the colors kind of mushy.

    From what I have read online, the Sony tv offerings seem to be pretty unintrusive and don’t really care if you hook them up to the internet. The smart software is android tv based and can potentially be modded/stripped of google services. I have to do some more research though so don’t quote me on the above.

    Our current TCL/Roku tv is dying and has turned out to be really bad smart/privacy wise and has gotten consistently worse performance wise over time. I’m currently evaluating options for its replacement and the Sony 65" oled is looking like the best one so far.









  • Currently working in oil and gas again after trying really hard to get away from that after working in a related industry for the last 10 years. I have mixed feelings about it, but my commute went from 75 miles/day to 3, I get to spend 3+ more hours a day with my family, and I am paid more. The benifits for me, monetarily, my personal environmental impact, and on my mental/family health are worth the compromise of how my work impacts the world. At the end of the day, my chair would be filled with someone else if it wasn’t me. I am happy that because it is me, I am limiting my envionmental impact even if I don’t agree with the industry.
