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?

    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.

      Wait…so the fear here is that they will take my tv, that i don’t have connected to the internet and…connect it to a network i don’t have? Whats the point of going through that trouble? Whats the gain?
