There is something about the Palm Pre or Jolla Sailfish OS that was so endearing back then. Devices that support it just don't exist.

Sad thing is, WebOS still exists.

But it's running on LG televisions

While its no excuse for them to do this, I run my LG tv with no internet access for it. And I honestly prefer a “dumb” tv anyway.

Same. My TV has a netflix button and a YouTube button. 10 years ago those would have been Crackle and Joost. Look it up kiddos.
