Comment on Amazon is cracking down on illegal streaming on its Fire TV Stick
Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoI’m was in the market for a new tv and literally none of them come without smarttv functionality. The only option is to scour marketplaces for screens made for businesses, or find a chinese no-name with the panel you want (which carries its own risks).
And if you “just don’t connect it to the internet” (which is actually impossible if you ever have an open wifi network in the vicinity) and connect your PC to it, Netflix and Apple and Amazon and Disney won’t stream at the highest quality because you’re not using an officially licensed smart tv app.
I mean there’s always piracy, but, you know
It’s rough out there 🥲

These are valid concerns, I still value my privacy way more then 4k resolution in some shows and not being able to use unsecure wifi.
My TV isn’t connected to the Internet for the past 4 years no problems here and you can easily set a password on your hotspot if you need one.
Well, I see your pain, but this being the reason to give in is stupid in my opinion. Privacy is worth fighting for but people will only start to realize that, when they don’t have any and it’s too late.
