My lg wants to update pretty much every week. Your a fucking TV and you work, why do you need to update at all?!
Comment on Samsung TVs will get 7 years of updates, starting with 2023 models

There’s updates for tv’s? Never seen one.

Because it’s an internet enabled device running a fully fledged operating system that will have bugs and vulnerabilities that need to be fixed all the time.

I assumed it was just to improve their data collection.

Both can be true
homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yes. And there’s no need for it.

I mean, my TV got VRR thru an update…
Would have been great if it shipped with it, but being able to get the update is better than getting mailed a usb to do it manually.
eyeon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
eh…kinda. the upside to manual USB updates is you get to intentionally apply them and can decide not to if an update makes things worse like removing features or adding more ads and tracking.
with automatic updates they can just silently update without your consent

This whole removing features from a product that was where when I bought it is a concept that needs to die. I don’t care if you don’t want to support it anymore, I don’t care if literally nobody else uses it, hell I don’t even care if I don’t even use it, it was something I purchased that they’re taking away without consent or refund

My poor Smart TV thinks I don’t have an Internet connection.
