Smart people get dumb panels and connect the steaming box / computer of their choice.
Agreed. You shouldn’t have to trust that some third party software built into your TV won’t abuse your trust and shut everything down until you do what it’s owners want.
I’ve got an external Roku and if it starts being a dick, I can just unplug it and toss it in the trash and I still have a working TV.
Smart people with money perhaps. Not everyone can shell out several times more money to pay for privacy…
I don’t agree with this as it sounds a bit elitist.
Some people just don’t want to buy another device and use more electricity to watch a movie.
But I know what you mean.

Smart person here.
The Roku that I purchased 6 years ago just bricked itself until I agreed to forced arbitration. This, of course, has nothing to do with the data breach they just announced.
