this just in: samsung and sony are bad companies (ads and bad support, resp.)

[The Murderous Cop]

how, you may ask?

samsung:
they're adding obtrusive ads into your smart TVs, including older ones, just after it's too late to return them via software update

sony:
removing and locking threads with issues of input lag and other things for gamers.
https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/5edhty/psa_sony_removes_90_pages_thread_on_their/

in both cases, what the forget
ads aren't cool to add into your smart tv and is just going to end up annoying a lot of people
and preventing people from getting answers to problems? a 92 page topic completely erased?

wow, that's 3 companies, apple, and now these two that are now becoming less loving worth investing in

This is why I don't buy 'Smart TV's
I get Monitors and use those instead.

Sony obviously wants to hush any criticism before black friday/Cyber monday comes around. GG now everyone hates you lol.
Samsung is handicapped and thinks people want the same bullstuff that comes with phone on their tvs.

you absolutely have no need for a TV that has a webcam and a microphone and internet access, doing so only opens you up to massive potential privacy intrusions
