I can't stop laughing at the first entry and this simple joke:

I used Cline to build a tiny testing helper app and this is exactly what it did!
It made changes in TS/Next.js given just the boiletplate from create-next-app, ran `yarn dev` then opened its mini LLM browser and navigated to localhost to verify everything looked correct.
It found 1 mistake and fixed the issue then ran `yarn dev` again, opened a new browser, navigated to localhost (pointing at the original server it brought up, not the new one at another port) and confirmed the change was correct.
I was very impressed but still laughed at how it somehow backed its way into a flow the worked, but only because Next has hot-reloading.
The problem isn't the number of boxes plugged in, its that the TV has its own OS and built-in apps that people want to use that doesn't work with anything outside the TV.
I don't think too many people have, for example, a Samsung TV and a Firestick and use the 2 interchangeably for different apps.
I had this problem until the Samsung interface got too unbearably slow (6 year old tv), so I just bought a Google TV and that goes through my receiver's HDMI in port. Before this update, I was using optical out from the TV into my receiver, but the quality was noticeably degraded. I'm lucky I also don't use the radio function or a record player since that would just add to the chaos.
