a.k.a they sell your customers' eyeballs. I don't want these creeps near my tv, european or not.
- toomuchtodo 7mo agoTo the best of my knowledge, so does every other TV OS. So, we need an option that doesn't. If an open option is available, it can be stripped of the capabilities you mention.
- OJFord 7mo agoWhat we need is for TVs to go back to just being dumb panels, let me plug in whatever I want, and stay out of my way, no OS, just some little firmware overlay for a handful of settings.
- toomuchtodo 7mo agoThis is unlikely, as consumers have little control hardware manufacturing, so the best we can do is ensure that free software can run on the hardware mass produced. Perhaps there is room for the EU to regulate? "We must take the world as it is and not as we would like it to be." - Maurice Allais
- OJFord 7mo agoConsumers also have little control over the firmware & software flashed onto that hardware in manufacturing.
- toomuchtodo 7mo agoIrrelevant as long as you can flash while in your possession.
- OJFord 7mo agoAn irrelevantly small number of consumers are doing that.
- ijxisnxjsjd 7mo agoNice quote, would be relevant if we actually had any power over any of this. But if they decide to lock these devices down, there’s little that can be done given that those that would be willing to put in the work to break it open aren’t likely to do it since there are a billion and one types of devices in this hardware space—the chance of yours being gifted with a working hack of such is ridiculously small.
