The company says users will be able to delete the Copilot tile after confusion over recent software updates.

    For clarification: they will only remove the tile, not the copilot app. They state it’s non-removable, and say it’s not a service that runs.

    However, my concern is what is to stop Microsoft (or LG) from enabling it in the future?

      It can’t be enabled by Microsoft since the tile is only a link opening the Copilot website using the TV’s browser - it’s a URL shorcut.

    Buy monitors and hook them up to hardware and software you control. Fuck ‘smart’ TVs.

        Yep. My LG C5 isn’t hooked up to the Internet. I would have gone with a (non-tv) monitor, but I couldn’t find any 55 inch 120hz OLED monitors.

        That’s my method. My new tv has never known the internet and never will. USB updates are still available and very simple to install. AppleTV handles the apps the tv just displays them.

        Until someone has an unsecured Internet-connected hotspot, and then it’s over. :-(

      Palm Pre was goated. It had a little paratroopers game that I think about far too often. Nice and small, physical keyboard. Damn.
