we live in hell

I don’t even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they’re saying…hey do you want a worse experience?

    If its never been connected to the internet…wtf are they gonna do if they hack it? what are they going to get? it will have no credit card information, no personal information of any kind.

      The problem is that because the hardware is there, a determined person with physical access can change the settings to join a network you don’t control.

      Ideally, you can open the TV and remove the wifi modules but I suspect that might be beyond the skills of most TV owners.

      Tbh, I stopped owning a TV since college. I watch everything on my computer or phone now.
