I have my TV on WiFi network that has no Internet access so at least I can control it via homeassistant still. It doesn't need Internet for anything but the UI so just get a shield and strip that down

LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash
(www.webpronews.com)
And they still haven’t figured out how to stop Netflix from crashing 15 minutes into every other show I watch. First year I had it no problems. Then one day about two years ago, bam, unwatchable.
This is worse than anything Microsoft has done, I hope it leads to their decay as a company.
I hate when companies do nonsense like this.
Some best buy asshole convinced me to buy LG this last time because "it's the same screen as the bravia, but lower price so you can get the sound bar too!". Yeah fuck that, Sony doesn't jerk me around. WebOS doesnt even fucking WORK unless you agree to every sharing option and update. Next time I'll just pay the extra.

I think they want to replace conventional ui with a universal machine equivalent of a talking head. It could save billions on ui development. If only we would shut up and just swallow it.
