Let's hear it - did anyone score one of those free 4K TVs that Telly was giving away? I think they were handing out 500,000 of them. The TVs were free because they come with a second screen that constantly pushes advertisements. The television looks pretty upscale for a 55-inch freebie. If you scored one, let us know how it turned out. If you didn't, would you ever go for it in the future? What's your take on the free Telly 4K TV?

I read about those free TVs on Wired and wondered how they'd know if someone covered up the second screen as a way to ignore the ads. That tells me that there must be some heavy-duty surveillance going on.
These days, we go to Google to look up certain products, and related ads will appear on YouTube or Chrome right after. I even get ads for stuff I discuss with colleagues over WhatsApp! Technology is scary these days, especially those "smart" gadgets, so much so that I miss the simple old days.
