Dude. This is too much. My fridge is capable of being connected to the internet, so is my oven, garage door opener and my dishwasher. WHY? These things have worked so well without this crap. I wish manufacturers would stop this insanity.
Come to find out, the TV locks you out of EVERYTHING if you do not connect it to the internet. You see the homescreen but you aren't allowed to switch the input unless you connect to the wifi. Even after connecting to wifi, you only get access to FAST channels, and still have to register with a Samsung account before you get permission to change the input.
I don't think I had ever been more upset at a piece of tech in my life.
"It's for the basement room, no WiFi there" if the shop argues.
I'm in the UK, are these smart appliances way more common in the US or something?
Aside from the small detail that these things don’t really solve any problem, these companies are not… let’s say software savvy.
Because you bought them dude! :)
