I bought a dumb tv in 2013 that I still use just fine without any firmware updates. It's a screen, it needs no updates.



I plugged in my pre-all-devices-spy 10 year old dumb tv to the network for the first time and now it hounds me for firmware updates.... I always reject because I don’t want it to learn how to spy on me.

Pretty sure my firetv phones my hdmi content home


Can't you set the onboard clock back a few years to fool it?
