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.
And that's incredibly unfortunate. Make no mistake, I'm not arguing in favor of the companies here. I was merely pointing out that TVs are not one of the impractical "smart" devices, which I believe you implied. There's plenty of good use cases for an internet connected TV, and I don't think users are stupid for wanting one. I too wish that we could have nice things not be ruined by corporate greed. That's all. Have a good day.
