"When the Theatre display (top screen) is not in use, the ad unit could come to life in a fun way connecting both," Lawrence says. "There are literally hundreds of things we are thinking about to create the most engaging ad experience ever."
the ad unit could come to life in a fun way
fun
I am afraid of what Lawrence does in his basement
Part of me wants to get one right away with the intention of jailbreaking it.
Desperately sending waves of psychic energy through the astral plane to make this guy's head explode like that dude in Scanners
1984: The Evil Socialist Government will spy on you through your TV!
Reality: Capitalist corporations will spy on you through your TV.
No but you see it's good this time because everyone consented! Especially in 10 years when normal TVs barely exist and cost like $10,000, it'll be fine, stop complaining, you can just get the ad TV for a couple hundred bucks!
Just wait until they introduce the free* advertisement computer monitor :agony-deep:
I'm going to order one, agree to the privacy policy to keep it for free, and then throw it away.
I often find my eyes glazing over and my brain passively absorbing advertising messages, only later to say, "I wish that thing I hated, filling moments i actively try to forget was more engaging. and constant"

Sounds like you can just cancel the credit card on file.
This isn't the smart business plan they think it is
If you cancel the credit card with the clear intention of dodging payment they'll have a pretty black and white fraud claim to bring against you. Will they bother doing it? Ehhh, hard to say.
Debt collectors buy debt pennies on the dollars.
And debt collectors have no way to ding your credit and you don't have to pay them back.
so they could just get wifi blocker and use it near your home to disconnect you so they can charge your credit card?
Cut a piece of poster board to cover the bottom screen, make some router script that spoofs the same data back to them in a loop or something?
Only open the camera privacy shutter to display a picture of :PIGPOOPBALLS:
I have signed up to receive one with the intention of hacking it.
couldn't you just cover the bottom bit with like some cardboard?

This is truly one of the worst and least worth while products I’ve ever seen. There is literally no way in hell that selling the collected data or the advertising will make enough to cover the cost of a TV.
But also I’d be willing to pay a pretty large amount of money to not have my TV spy on me and play ads more than it already does - Specifically I’m willing to pay more-than-what-TVs-currently-cost, to not have those ads.
It’s a product that harms both the company and the customer, it’s marvelous.
