Roku’s Ultimatum: Surrender Jury Trial Rights or Lose Access to Your TVs
(programming.dev)
Did your Roku TV decide to strong arm you into giving up your rights or lose your FULLY FUNCTIONING WORKING TV? Because mine did.
It doesn't matter if you only use it as a dumb panel for an Apple TV, Fire stick, or just to play your gaming console. You either agree or get bent.
It's not wrong to think people are stupid for wanting pointlessly internet connected things either.
Well sure, but we're not talking about a washing machine or a refrigerator. Currently most media we watch is over the internet, so I at least don't consider a TV with an internet connection "pointlessly" online.
Okay, well you are free to enjoy having your device bricked whenever the company you bought it from wants to.
And that's incredibly unfortunate. Make no mistake, I'm not arguing in favor of the companies here. I was merely pointing out that TVs are not one of the impractical "smart" devices, which I believe you implied. There's plenty of good use cases for an internet connected TV, and I don't think users are stupid for wanting one. I too wish that we could have nice things not be ruined by corporate greed. That's all. Have a good day.
Man, you are one angry fucker.. You ever try weed?
Weed doesn't magically make you less hostile of a person. If that were the case Canada would be a hell of a lot better than it is now, and it isn't.
Shid, fair
I do smoke, wierdly enough it doesn't make me not care about privacy and practicality.
