Developer open-sources project to make smart TVs dumb then smart

Original: Show HN: Making a smart TV dumb and then smart

A developer has released an open-source project describing how to strip a smart TV of its built-in software and rebuild it around a custom, self-controlled setup. The approach involves disabling the TV's own smart features and replacing them with an independent system, giving the owner full control over apps, privacy and updates. The project has drawn attention among developers interested in reclaiming hardware from vendor-controlled software.

Why now: Growing frustration with smart TV ads, tracking and forced software updates is driving interest in DIY alternatives.
