My Amazon TV Now Unmutes Itself During Prime Video Commercial Breaks

While I fully believe Amazon to be capable of making such an atrocious product it could also be that the "mute" function is broken in it's entirety (i.e. unmuting after a couple of seconds). The person just hasn't noticed because they only use the mute function during commercials.

That is a bit of a condescending comment. But that said - I am not convinced other companies like Samsung and LG are meaningfully better.

What do you mean "My TV"?

Same way that people refer to a house under mortgage as “their” home.

Edit: How about a rental in a building with ads in the elevators?
