Pfff, they’ve just turned to adware-laden boxes. Next they’ll make up some BS about requiring the device to be Internet connected so you can’t disable ads too easily.
That’s a big part of enshitification: maximizing profit at the sacrifice of product quality. All of those pro-capitalist folk want you to believe the market will correct itself. The problem is when the entire market is dominated by this mentality and anyone (doing anything different) tries to enter that market is snuffed out immediately. None of the major brands will stray from this model because they are completely and hopelessly servant to the shareholder, and all that matters to them is maximizing profits at any cost. Yay enshitification!
Yep, and that added complexity to make a dumb TV smart, just means theres more parts that are likely to die and make ethe TV not work.
Its bullshit that the only way to get large dumb TVs anymore is to roll the dice on a Scepter… Which, given how they procure their screens, could either give you a great TV or a shit TV.
