      I always get worried I’ve wandered into 3rd world country moving around the store, which I assume is why there are so many american flags hanging everywhere to remind me “no, it’s just walmart.”

    The retail giant is in talks to buy smart television-manufacturer Vizio for more than $2 billion, according to people familiar with the situation. The move would give Walmart more places where it can sell ads and pitch shoppers on goods. … Walmart gets most of its U.S. revenue from its grocery business, which typically has low profit margins. Executives see the Walmart Connect ad unit as a path to heftier profits and a way to generate cash beyond the company’s longtime engine of selling goods through stores.

      That’s an extremely valuable shout-out, thanks. I haven’t shopped for a TV in more than a decade now, but after following this rabbit hole for a little bit, you’ve essentially converted me to this way of thinking. It reminds me of Windows LTSC–just get the version that doesn’t have the bullshit, even if you have to jump through some extra hoops or pay more.
