[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) Android tv's arent that old. 10 years max. 5 years since it's affordable for most people. Is it unreasonable to own a 5 year old non-smart tv? I think not. I think it's weird that so many people assume everyone owns a smart tv. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago In what scenario would you need to type in a password on a non-smart TV though?

You can hook up streaming sticks and boxes and game consoles to anything with an HDMI port permalink fedilink source parent
