I refuse to connect this TV to the internet because if it does get connected it will force an update that says unless you agree with forced arbitration your TV will be unusable. I just want to change the HDMI slot 2 spaces over 🤦. Gargle my nutsack Roku.
Im in the same boat as you. Insanity. There is a way to disable smart features (and internet/ads) after a factory reset if you dont need any apps like youtube, etc.
Yeah, but that factory reset might make them update the TV and then force the arbitration. I don’t feel like risking it for now, I’m just using my pi to consume content on.
For those in California, forced arbitration is not enforceable as it’s against the law.
I wish those laws that california makes were federal, they would greatly benefit the consumer
I don’t think that’s the case? There was AB 51 which was going to make it illegal for employers to force employees to sign arbitration agreements, but it got struck down.
There’s also SB 940 which has some limitations on forced arbitration (eg sellers can’t arbitrate outside of California for a claim that originated in California) but it doesn’t outright block it.
