My favorite one is this.

I think there was only one that suggests pressing the lock door button. But apparently that’s not a universal feature because most of the suggestions tell him to press a button on the touch screen console

If I can't flash the firmware, it doesnt connect to my wifi. Once, I was seduced into connecting a smart tv to my WiFi by its really cool remote that acted as a mouse pointer. I really wanted to control jellyfin with it instead of a wireless mouse and keyboard. Bad idea. After constant updates it eventually rejected my computer's HDMI connection to it. Must've been some stupid DRM anti feature. If I had a gun I would've shot the tv for such insolence. Luckily I dont and I calmly did a factory reset and learned my lesson.

Finding out that HDMI cables have built in IP censorship systems was a bad day for me. : | What the fuck kind of data cable evaluates and locks out "unacceptable" data?!

Wait. They have inbuilt what now?

The spec is designed to allow enforcement of DRM but i think its up to the devices on either end to enforce that not the cable itself.

Its to prevent people from ripping movies by playing it to a computer thats recording the input instead of a display. But it can also be used by TVs to say "fuck your laptop".

That's a tad less annoying, I guess

I'm afraid I don't really know the details.
