You aren't wrong, that's all true. But also there are a lot of reasons to want to "free your TV". The literal answer is that rooting your TV is difficult or impossible depending on the brand, and the technically true answer is that you can at least get away from the horrible manipulative interface pushed on you by the manufacturer without doing anything difficult. Better than nothing, IMO.

Why has no one mentioned Projectivy?

It's a regular app, doesn't require root (though it benefits from it). It's free unless you want complicated parental controls (I pay for it but otherwise have no relation to it).

I have a Bravia TV, and with it I no longer have ads, I can change exactly what apps show up, including hiding Sony apps, and can totally customize the whole window.

Finding it was a huge relief for me, as there's no point setting up parental controls for a small child when ads showing horror products show up anyway.

Hope that helps.

"He added that individuals or businesses that are found to still be accessing X by using virtual private networks (VPNs) could be fined R$50,000 ($8,910; £6,780)."

Pretty sure that will include Starlink.

The cost to dispose or recycle should be paid by the companies that produce the product. Products would waste less material and recycling would be profitable for recycling companies doing a public service.

Yes, companies will want to make customers eat that cost. I don't know if there is a legislative solution for that or what.

My hygienist told me to just use OTC instead of trying to do it at the dentist's office. She didn't suggest a specific brand though.

You're very young to have decided that a partner will never happen for you.

The very best thing you can do is socialize without expectation of partnership and learn to have fun and enjoy flirting with people without the intention of following through. When you can get with a bunch of friends, laugh and flirt and go home alone and feel good about it, like appreciate the joy inherent in those moments without ruining it by pining for more... you will be doing yourself two favors.

One, you'll stop feeling like not dating is celibacy - it's just where you're at.

Two, you'll become much more attractive to potential partners, and you'll find folks won't care so much about your looks. The vibe will be way different, for real, because of the self-confidence inherent in enjoying your life without needing anything from anyone else.

Bonus - You might find, by flirting with people you have no intention of sleeping with, that your tastes expand. Just don't tell a woman you're not following through because she doesn't meet your physical standards, that will get you in a dating blacklist in no time.

It's ironic that capitalism is missing out on more efficient workers who could maximize production and profit because of this. Who knows where we would be if we actually helped people pursue their goals regardless of current income?
