Why did Proton adding a Bitcoin wallet cause you to look elsewhere? If it’s a product you’re not interested in, just don’t use it. Otherwise you’re stuck using providers that offer exactly what you want, no more and no less, which seems like such a narrow needle to thread, you’ll never find something or can’t stick with it for long.

I don’t think the email alias thing comes with Mail Plus, it’s part of Proton Pass. You either need to get Unlimited which includes all of their products or pair mail plus with the paid version of Pass. There’s a chance I’m wrong because I have Unlimited and haven’t really explored it, but look into it before you commit.

Deny it wifi credentials and it has nowhere to send the stuff it’s spying on

I’ve been using a Chromecast with Google tv, and have deprived my tv my WiFi credentials. 90% of what I watch is from my Plex server, 9% other streaming services, 1% digital antenna.

It’s not an ideal situation but as you know because you asked the question, the privacy situation in TVs is dire. Otherwise you’re doing ridiculous shit like plugging computers into it or whatever.

Like which operating system it runs and the user interface and what the remote is like and how big the bezels are and how good the sound quality is and how many hdmi ports it has… Like if you care about some specific detail make sure it has the thing you want or doesn’t have a version you hate

Unless you’re picky about certain small details, this is a solid choice

If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck look at LED TVs. Different companies have different names for their specific LED technology, like QLED or MiniLED. If you’re looking for the best bang irrespective of bucks, go for an OLED.

Then choose your brand on which OS it uses and other features. Then crank up the size until you reach $1,000.
