Yeah I really don’t understand why the hell they have to make it so different. Why do they need to distinguish themselves in this way? All it does is fuck up our gaming experience.

Way to fucking jinx it.

They may not be alive but prions scare the ever living fuck out of me.

There are some people in this world who are smarter and more motivated than we are.

And then there are people who get a head start when their rich daddy gives 'em a bunch of money and they get lucky with how they invest that money but pretend to be a genius anyway.

How do you tell people that you are now using shitty AI to evaluate the content of documents on your site without telling people you are using shitty AI to evaluate the content of documents on your site.

Do you live in a totalitarian state? Do you not get to vote for your government officials? Doesn’t matter if you’re American or not, right to repair and consumer rights isn’t solely an American issue.

If this is something you want you should definitely write to your local Congress people. And if they won’t listen vote for someone else.

You somehow failed to read this part.

What you’re talking about is right to repair. And yeah there should be a law that prevents them from controlling your device after you’ve purchased it. If this is something you want you should definitely write to your local Congress people. And if they won’t listen vote for someone else.

Otherwise it is most definitely buyer beware.

If you are incapable of sussing out the mindless morons who write reviews from the people who actually know what they’re doing that’s more of a you problem than anything else.

And buying a TV is not a little purchase unless you’re incredibly rich in which case why would you even fucking care. But hey, if you like rolling the dice on your hard-earned money to buy something that’s not going to work the way you want it to and then break it trying to “fix” it with some sketchy hardware from some rando online who thinks they’re “in the know” be…my…guest.

Did you know: you can look up a review of any piece of hardware out there that you wish to buy and gather info on it before making a purchase.

Here’s an idea for you, don’t buy a Roku TV. Visio is pretty much the exact same price and you can just not use the smart features and just connect HDMI.

Every one I have encountered only requires that for use of the smart TV features. And if you have one that requires Internet just to use HDMI to connect to a device, your TV is 100% spying on you and you should return it.

Yeah, I am definitely going to open up my $400 tv and replace the LCD controller with this sketchy piece of hardware instead of, checks notes, just not activating any of the smart features and not connecting the TV to the internet at all.
