I tried the YouTube app exactly once. Since then my TV doesn't have an internet connection any more.

LOL. I give it wifi to update and then disable it. At least in the new version it remembers your password (which is another ridiculous thing that it didn’t for the longest time). But it stays disconnected.

I would actually lay a premium for literally a panel and nothing more. I’m shocked no one has jailbroken TVs to rip out their telemetry or made hardware bypasses. I would love to install a hardware mod chip that gives me access to the raw firmware features.
