Last night the TV I’ve had for three years stopped working until I agreed to their terms of service, including their personal data sales. There was no opportunity to disagree, nor anything I could do with the TV until I did. You could prove I read it, but it’s ridiculous to claim I agreed to it before buying it or that I had any leverage for fair treatment.
I suppose I shouldn’t have had my TV on the network but it has an Apple TV app and my Firestick doesn’t
@AA5B @BearOfaTime what brand, may I ask
Vizio. It wouldn’t even let me use the built in airplay or Chromecast until I agreed to sell my soul.
The only thing that worked was HDMI inputs
And can it be factory reset?
I plan to reset and keep it off the internet by the end of this month.
The problem was I couldn’t treat it as a dumb TV because of the missing app on my Firestick. It doesn’t help that Firestick has been getting shittier and shittier. And I’m not watching ad infested Prime TV after spending so much money on it
Im disgusted at the whole mess and ready to give Apple more of my money on the hope that Apple TV is not as ad infested as either the Firestick or the TV. Rumor has it there may be a new Apple TV coming out: crap, now I feel like I have to wait and see what my choices are
@AA5B yeah the enshittification of streaming TV is well underway. Pretty soon the best option will be to buy a computer monitor
It’s long been tough to do. I thought that when I bought my tv a few years back, but the smart tv was cheaper and had much better specs than any similar monitor, and there were many more choices
Stories like this are why I will NEVER buy a TV with built-in smart features. Its only job is to take signals and produce pictures and sound. These days, I don't even need a TV tuner. If I have to pay for a giant monitor instead, that's fine, I'll just wait until I can afford it, or buy smaller.
Uggh, I hate that crap on my TV.
I reset my TV recently... Except apparently I didn't because it came right back with all my settings. Dammit, I said RESET. wtf.
(Yea, apparently Samsung and others use a feature that once it gets network, it connects to Samsung servers and pulls the config back down if it's on the same net. Wtf??)
