Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde "oem" parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.
Rules:
- Keep posts on topic.
- Don’t make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
- No posts linking to reddit posts.
- Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
- Please be respectful to each other.

Given that they recently updated my LGTV to have more ads with no way to disable them, well... not surprised.
Got a new LG TV for Christmas, and never once put it online. Smart TVs always remain dumb in my house, and I just use a Chromecast with Google TV. Never had a single ad and it works just fine displaying what the Chromecast shows
Always isolate networked functionality for any “smart” device however you can. They will never update with better features. Only enshittify things.
I use an NVIDIA shield pro with a custom launcher as my dedicated stream box so neither Google nor NVIDIA can make it worse as time goes forward.
