Oh, spare me this lecture again! Being techie doesn't save you from having to go through a cringe firmware update or lack of service through the "smart" OS because their invasive ad service is offline or whatever.

And I'm not saying there aren't alternative ways to view content -- I'm pointing out how fucking dumb the whole setup is. I'm referring to the unit itself, as an average user experiences it.

If I were interested in solutions, I'd be posting in a tech forum, not a joke community where I'm trying to use humor to cops with a frustrating experience, so go rain on someone else's parade.

Also, you don't know what "objectively" means. There's no such thing from a user perspective. It depends entirely on personal preference, and I've made clear what my preference is.

Let me be a grumpy old man in peace. I don't need fixing.

They don't seem to have a lecturing tone in their comment. The only part which you might have a point about is where they say "objectively", but throughout the whole comment they're really just expressing their opinion and showing their experience with smart TVs, which they're entitled to have and might be different from yours.

No aggressiveness intended. Just trying to keep the niceness around.

Yeah that's fair. My emotions are super raw today, and it's time to logoff and get some fresh air.

Thanks for understanding.
