Probably injecting the ads into blank screen periods.
Maybe we should bring back screensavers, would really fuck with devices like this that look for blank screen time that would simply never occur.
i think a better option is not buying adware hardware. Or software for that matter.
Obviously but it could become very hard to do that with Smart TVs dominating the space now.
smart TVs are their own shitfest, frankly, if you don't want to deal with them, i hear you can just buy commercial signage displays. Which are basically just TVs but without the smart part.
