I have been without a tv for a year because I cannot find a not smart display and I refuse to invite this sort of shenanigans into my home.
No thanks not for me. Maybe I'll get a projector.
- givinguflac 5y agoIt’s pretty easy to just not connect it to the network isn’t it?
- LegitShady 5y agoWhy would I purchase something that is actively hostile to my interests so much that I don't want it to connect to the internet? Doesn't sound like anything I'd want in my house. It seems to me that if you stop paying companies working against your interest money, or only pay them money for products that aren't against your interest, you're probably going to do a lot better in the long run in terms of protecting your interest from unethical corporate raiders.
- slackfan 5y agoNo. Because the setup screen you get demands that you connect to the network and refuses to let you do anything with your dumb old dvd player until you give it network access. Welcome to dark patterns.
