I mean... Just don't hook the TV up to the internet. Don't join your WiFi network on the TV.
Kind of a simple solution.
No it’s not! I had a goddamn Sony tv and it wouldn’t let me change certain settings unless I connected it to the internet! They try to force your hand!
Do you remember the model number? I would like to research this.
What about connecting to a mobile/theter and change password after you adjusted your settings? 🤷♂️
Until the cost of a sim card w/service is less than the revenue they generate from it. Which I fear is scarily close.
Doesn't work anymore. They do dark mesh networks.
