Ask me anything .. I just set up a "smart" TV! [View all]

Hey .. but there was no 14 year-old around to do it for me. The smart-ass TV was a major technological challenge for me, who flew MD-80 and 737 jets with steam gauges.

Then .. THEN! .. I set up the old dumbass TV (a 2011 Samsung) on my desk and hooked it to my MacBook Pro laptop. Now I have a big screen monitor. The resolution is not great enough to process photo images, but it makes things easy to read.

Damn I'm smart!
