Right now, when you order the TCL 75-inch S4 Series with Roku TV at Walmart, you’ll pay $378. At full price, this model sells for $500. That $120 you saved is perfect for some of the best soundbar deals we’ve been gathering!

Why you should buy the TCL S4 Series

Thanks to the Roku TV OS, the TCL S4 Series delivers an exceptional 4K streaming experience. You’ll have access to leading apps like Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu, along with hundreds of free live TV channels. With Roku TV, you’ll also be able to wirelessly cast content with an iPhone or iPad using AirPlay 2. You can even download the Roku mobile app to take your TV-watching experience on the go.

Thanks to HDR and ALLM support, the 75-inch S4 Series is a great TV for gaming, too. The Auto Game Mode kicks into gear when a console is detected, ensuring you’ll get the best response times and frame rate performance for your favorite PS5 and Xbox titles. The TV has four HDMI ports to choose from as well, and one of them is an eARC connection!

I desperately want a new classic Walkman, but Sony probably can’t give me one

Tech minimalism is begging for a new Walkman. Though rebuilding it may be close to impossible

Sony Walkman WM2011

Every few months, another piece of tech that seems obsolete crawls out of a drawer and becomes cool again. The age of minimalism has revived the popularity of iPods among younger buyers. Dumbphones have become an escape hatch from endless notifications. Similarly, digital cameras are dangling from bags again. Physical media keeps attracting people who want something they can actually hold instead of another frustrating subscription.

All of this makes it the perfect time for Sony to bring back the classic Walkman, which was a phenomenon during the 80s and 90s. I would love one. Give me a compact cassette player, physical buttons, and wired headphones. Keep the apps, notifications, and algorithms that shape your taste of music. No more AI assistants or personalzied feeds, just you and your Walkman. There is only one problem though. Recreating the Walkman that people love and remember, would be far harder than putting an old design back into production.

Proton reveals how smart TVs track you and the escape situation is pretty grim

Modern smart TVs fingerprint your screen content at the chipset level.

Your smart TV may know far more about your viewing habits than you realize, even if you rarely use its smart features. In a new privacy explainer, Proton warns that many modern TVs quietly collect data about everything displayed on the screen and share it with manufacturers, advertisers, and analytics companies.

The worrying part is that escaping this tracking is becoming increasingly difficult because many privacy controls are buried deep in settings or enabled by default. Proton argues that buying a smart TV today often means accepting a level of surveillance that most people never knowingly signed up for.

LG is cracking down on smart TV apps that quietly turn your TV into a secret proxy

LG OLED Settings

If you own an LG smart TV, there's a chance one of your harmless-looking apps has been moonlighting as an internet relay for someone else's traffic. According to a report from KrebsOnSecurity, LG says it's finally stepping in to stop this menace. This week, the company confirmed it plans to suspend any webOS app that turns a TV into what's called a residential proxy node.

The move follows a report from security firm Spur, which found that more than 42 percent of apps on LG's webOS store include SDKs that quietly reroute internet traffic through your TV, indefinitely. Samsung isn't spared either, with over a quarter of Tizen apps carrying similar code.
