It's cool to see "we the working class resent being looked down on by you wealthy coastal liberal elites" used by rich libertarian dorks to defend their expensive computing clusters. Like bitcoin nerds don't even have the faux working class aesthetic, like at least buy a pickup truck and wear some overalls when you say this shit.

    edit: it just occurred to me that if you hacked a new smart tv you could in fact use it to mine crypto

    Eh, the GPUs on TVs are very specifically made for the task they do. Like the only reason they can do what they do is that they have specific hardware for h264 and HEVC decoding. It's actually funny if you ever get something encoded in a non-modern codec and see a smart tv completely fail at running a 480p tv show. I feel they'd be spectacularly bad at crypto mining.
