Somehow, advanced Triada malware was added to devices before reaching resellers.

    Cool. 500W worth of lamps for (maybe) 32" of terrible quality picture?

          Yeah, I was making a joke. Do love that bastard though, also its fun to daisy chain adapters and run firesticks and shit on it. Good for old movies and games that were intended for CRT.
