Some Rokus and Apple TVs receive longer update windows, though.

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

      My lg wants to update pretty much every week. Your a fucking TV and you work, why do you need to update at all?!

        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 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.

          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
