Which is regrettable, but it's easy enough to just keep it offline. Presumably there's no such opt-out for drivers of these vehicles.
- karaterobot 2y agoHow long until new TVs tell you that you must be connected to the internet to use them? Doesn't seem insane at all. Seems like something that's probably being brought up at product meetings at, e.g., Samsung with increasing frequency.
- mb7733 2y agoI bought a TCL smart tv and I was forced to connect to a network & sign in to something before I could use an external HDMI input. If there's a workaround I gave up finding it.
- mrWiz 2y agoThat's disappointing. A few years ago I bought a TCL smart TV specifically because it could be used a dumb TV simply by keeping it off the network and haven't regretted it one bit.
