Roku’s Ultimatum: Surrender Jury Trial Rights or Lose Access to Your TVs (programming.dev)

Did your Roku TV decide to strong arm you into giving up your rights or lose your FULLY FUNCTIONING WORKING TV? Because mine did.

It doesn't matter if you only use it as a dumb panel for an Apple TV, Fire stick, or just to play your gaming console. You either agree or get bent.

Are there any good 4k 65"+ TVs without smart features? All the ones I see from LG Samsung Sony or other top rated TV manufacturers are smart TVs.

Don't they all essentially require internet access to be 'smart'? I have a LGTV (with WebOS, an app store, etc.) that I basically treat as 'dumb' by leaving it disconnected from our network.

Nowadays there are TV that requires internet connection to use the HDMI ports, I hope this trend NEVER take off.
