Roku’s Ultimatum: Surrender Jury Trial Rights or Lose Access to Your TVs

caleb@programming.dev to Technology@lemmy.world – 1495 points –

Did your Roku TV decide to strong arm you into giving up your rights or lose your FULLY FUNCTIONING WORKING TV? Because mine did.

It doesn't matter if you only use it as a dumb panel for an Apple TV, Fire stick, or just to play your gaming console. You either agree or get bent.

Never allow internet access to unrooted devices. My TVs are airgapped.

Ah yes, airgap the streaming device.

It can still stream video over the hdmi port just fine. This is about containing the rooted malware inside the tv's firmware from exfiltrating and then self destructing.

Waterboarding, Earthed ground, Fire wall, Air Gap, Long ago, the four protections lived together in harmony.

I've sent mine to a CIA dark site for advanced interrogation.
