From what I have heard, this is not true for all brands. Some won't work without being connected. Shouldn't be legal, but here we are.

Yes. I’ve heard some brands will search for nearby devices of the same brands that are already connected to the internet so that even if YOU didn’t connect the TV to WiFi, it still calls home/gets ads.

Is the thread in here with you now?

I don't know what you're going through in your life, but I wish you all the best. Just wanted to pass on some information I thought was relevant.

I appreciate the kind words. You’re right, I’m being a dick. It was unnecessary and I’m sorry.

Someone admitting they were a dick on the Internet? Holy shit, congratulations. We need more people like you around and I mean this 100% sincerely.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
