  • I would avoid anything built into the TV.

    1. Its starting to be used for spying on you
    2. The chip they come with are usually not that good unless it’s a high end TV.
    3. They are building ads right into the TV themselves.

    I would not connect the TV to the internet and use a external media player. Either a Nvidia shield or an Apple TV is your best bet.

    You can also try building a media player yourself using a small computer.

    Note - The self made media player will be more limited in terms of apps available, unfortunately, as well as streaming quality from some of the streaming services.

















  • From my experience, you have to use google services for the 2fa to work on Yubikey. You can work around this by using a TOTP and storing it on the key. There is a Yubikey app that can read the tokens that doesn’t require google services. Another approach is make a separate profile that has a google account active on it and just keep those apps there to use the Yubikey on.

    Some banking apps require extra work in their settings permissions to get them to work. Try turning off some of the extra security measures for app in the app permissions settings. See if that can get them to work.

    Messaging is going to be broken unless both parties use an internet based messenger, like signal or iMessage. SMS is very restrictive. RCS may help fix this when it launched to iOS but it seems to break on graphene. Probably the same reason banking apps break.
