  • Why would a TV need an update? What’s changed that would require updating to continue to display the signal it’s getting?

    I have a Vizio that isn’t connected to the Internet and it’s essentially a computer monitor for my htpc that I control.

    If it ever forces me to update I’m getting rid of it.

    My real concern is that in 10 years, my htpc loophole will be closed and they’ll datamine me anyway and force me into subscriptions regardless.





  • No one wants to die at 75 - that’s a single decade (in old age, mind you, with limited options) to enjoy retirement. IF you managed to retire. There’s a lot of older people now that I work with that simply can’t retire, because they can’t afford it. That’s only going to get worse as we grow old and need to retire.

    We can’t enact Logan’s Run at 75 and assume it’ll fix anything. We’ll all work till we drop, which I don’t want for my children. Hell, my parents don’t want that for me now!
