    My SO’s mom ended up connecting my smart TV to wifi while she was watching our place… TV ended up updating itself and it broke the volume control.

    I did a factory reset and the volume control is still broken… turns out it updated the firmware and can’t roll back.

    Sometimes it’s not even your own fault the device gets connected.

      Glue the ethernet port. I’ve heard you can find a manual and neuter its wireless capabilities (literally, snip-snip) sometimes as well
