All the apps I’ve used recently use QR codes (or similar measures, like a sync code) that has you log in from the phone, so it should work anyway!

But not all apps, sadly, I just experimented it with Crunchyroll, and saw my dad struggling with a crappy app called Vix yesterday.

Fair enough. I’m mostly using “big ones” plus SmartTube.

In my experience the only one that works with any degree of reliability is YouTube. Even the Netflix one can be fairly intermittent.
Also a lot in the time you’ll go away and the hotel you’re in will have a smart TV and the software was last updated in 2011 so you have to sign in on the device.

Scan the QR code and log in on your phone. Oooh scary

I’ve had to manually type in passwords on a TV section times in the just few months because sometimes the login for even the biggest brand-name services is just broken.

Security Experts probably don't log into smart tvs all that often. Just a guess.

Sorta how car designers never have to actually fix cars.
elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s true for all car designers. You’re referring to the shitty designers, though.
Architects don’t get involved in the actual construction of a building either.

Oh they do. They come to tell you that the safety protocols you’ve implemented are interfering with their design.

But why wouldn’t it make sense to need to pull the cab off of a pickup truck to change the spark plugs?
