I'm just going to pretend that I didn't watch the first minute or two of the keynote and ignore any politics.

How horrible that someone considers human rights of others. This wouldn't be political to you if you started believing that people of color deserve equal rights.

It's political crap and I reject it.

Funny how only racists think equal rights for people of color is "political." Everyone else just things it's ethical.

I agree.  Racism, and bigotry in general, is so deeply integrated in so many places, it has to be attacked everywhere.  It’s not just the right thing to do, diversity of people brings diversity of ideas which leads to strength.  Everyone wins.

RE: Everyone

What happened to the GTA Advanced building in Phoenix, Arizona? Why not just use that building? Maybe TSMC doesn't have to build anything?

Apple took over the property and converting it (or part of it) to a data center.

That’s a very non-troll comment 👀 🙃 😉

Question 1:
Are there any current 4K TV’s available WITHOUT AnthraxOS?

Question 2:
In case the answer is depressingly No, to which degree can the AnthraxOS be disabled in TV’s from the various manufacturers?

Question 3:
Could a monitor—e.g. the LG 5K from the  store—double as a TV?

My personal use of a TV is exclusively to watch movies and streaming from an TV.

next: initiate Kickstarter project: 4K TV sans AnthraxOS! It should be an immediate success 👀

There absolutely are. LG runs on WebOS, Vizio runs on SmartCast. Personally, I’ve had a lot of issues testing Vizio TVs and would not recommend. LG and WebOS is just OK but I’d put the Sony TVs with AndroidOS above them. AndroidOS really is just running the streaming apps and the App Store. If you have an Apple TV (like I do), you will largely never have to interface with it. 

Thanks, though I was hoping that WebOS had a better recommendation.

The TV’s interface—regardless of the manufacturer—will probably never evolve to something that approaches a pleasurable experience (but I very much hope I am mistaken). My reason for avoiding AnthraxOS is to eliminate the feeling that “something” is going on behind the scene—that the damn OS is constantly analyzing what I’m doing or not doing and reporting all of it back to the Borg 👀

LG TVs use webOS, I believe.

Thanks—you just saved my day 👍🏽

... and thrashed my Kickstarter idea! 🙃😬🙈
