Well I’m not sure if you can regulate having good design and user experience. Certainly the ability to roll back updates and enforcing privacy though.
It is simple. Let user remove any unwanted software and don't install anything new (as in new apps), without user consent.
Then companies start quibbling over what software is required for the system to function, so much that the courts give up trying to fight them

Same. Only thing that ever managed to break me of my reddit habit. No 3rd party apps? Reddit may as well no longer exist as far as I'm concerned.
Welcome back to reddit! There is a third party app called Red Reader, it's free. https://www.reddit.com/r/RedReader/
Until somebody releases a dumb TV, you just can't connect your tv to the Internet.
Our LCD TV is almost 2 decades old. If we upgrade, I can guarantee we won't be connecting it to the Internet. Also none of our smart appliances are connected to the Internet.
As a proud member of the LGTV community (yes I'm making 2 of those kinds of jokes back to back, fight me), and an occasional reddit user, I'm both horrified by the notion of getting this update and thrilled people are still using old.reddit.com. The new layout, which isn't even new anymore, still falls very short for it I'm looking something up and it's buried in a comment thread where ctrl-f can't find it.
> thrilled people are still using old.reddit.com I noticed a day or two ago they quietly turned on the 'show new reddit as default' preference option, it was still possible to change default back but they won't stop pushing it.
You should just use a browser extension to do it since those don’t rely on an auth state anyway.
If supported, rooting is easy. https://cani.rootmy.tv/
If rootmy.tv is working again for modern LG TVs, I'll run out and buy another one.

The problem is that every business seems to be run by fuckheads who would respond to this by changing their business model to "Televisions as a Service" Every TV would become a rental instead of a product you can buy Maybe I'm cynical, but I don't see any way to be optimistic anymore. Every company now seems to behave like landlords instead of producers
Yes, but if it is "TVs as a service" then it completely changes the game. We can force them to replace the TV when it dies. Or make them take the TV back when we stop the service. Repairability would be their problem, not ours. This could arguably be a win for the environment. Of course, many people would still want to own their products, so that would be a market opportunity then.
I give up. Go fuck yourselves Hacker News I'm done with this anti-human hellhole

They don’t need your internet for a connection
