It’s fine when they brick our property, but its a crime when we brick their property.
No, no. It’s worse: it’s a crime when you bypass the system to avoid getting a bricked TV.
TVs were not meant to connect to the internet
Neither do cars.
What about refrigerators?
right, but that’s less of a problem
Google did that to my and others Nexus TV years ago and never did shit to fix it.. it’s why I will never buy and recommend that others never buy their shitty hardware.
Seems kike Roku decided to join the party.
Tv they fucking rigged the device I had to watch Apple TV. Fuck Roku. So now only way to watch Apple TV is through Amazon. Not getting a smart tv and damn sure would never connect one to internet.
I turned on my TV that usually auto boots to my onn Android box with projectivity launcher. The new Roku homescreen is trash. They’ve increased ads by like 5x. This is an 8 year old TV. 8 years ago there were no ads. Then a banner on the right side. Then they added a row up top. Now it’s the majority of the home screen. Roku as an operating system no longer needs to exist
its a fucking tragedy theres no one making decent dumb TVs anymore. But dumb TVs last longer cause they dont run as hot or are as complicated.. and disposable society needs products to burn so they can churn for extra profit.
