  • # indicates a comment in shell scripts, it’s interpreted the same way on a command line. That’s why it’s doing nothing. In this case, the # isn’t part of the command though. It’s to indicate that it’s a root shell. You’d see $ for a regular not-root shell. It’s part of that bit of text with your username, hostname, and current directory (with most default shell configurations, look up the PS1 Bash variable) that comes before the command you’re typing.

    I have one of those, I get the feeling they did it mostly so they could show off how thin they can make a TV. Actually makes good sense for another reason IMO: modularity. Power supply and control stuff is separated from the panel, so it’s easy to swap it out if the power supply or something else dies.
