  Could you swap the tv and seating so the tv is on the same wall as computer?

  The cat 5e / cat 6 hdmi adapters are incredibly cool! If you can run above, below, or around this would be a great solution too.
  (Please don’t run wiring under carpet for everyone’s safety).

  *Yes, I know HDMI is low voltage, but I’d rather people takeaway the “don’t do this” vs. the nuanced risk.

  Mine was never ever connected to the internet. HDMI is all I needed and wanted. What evil they’re doing now is making you connect it to the internet on first boot.

  I’d bet the next step is that it has to be able to phone home at increasingly frequent intervals to allow functionality such as playing content from connected ports.

  This is brought to you by the same company that’s developed technology to detect if an hdmi connection is paused so that it can be interrupted to inject ads…

  I agree, and I cannot find a replacement for local buying/selling and marketplaces. So many local small businesses only exist online through their Facebook page.

  You didn’t say sudo, so it’ll be ok.
