I dislike persistent technology of any kind, in this case, what I mean is in regards to updating software...I own a smart television for the first time since their existence, got it a few months ago and one of the first things I did when I set up this television's software was open the settings to turn off the updating software or if I cannot turn it off then put it in manual mode so it does not auto-update...This television does not allow any interference for software updates so I could not change the status of that function, apparently it will update whenever it wants, so to speak...So to counter this I unplug the television whenever its not in use, which is the usual state, I don't turn it on every day...That being said, the day before yesterday I forgot to unplug the television and during the day it decided to update its software and yesterday evening I noticed this because it was froze up on the updating procedure and would not allow me to do anything else until it completed the updating or I had the option of doing a factory reset thereby clearing the television of my account and settings...A couple hours later last night it finally finished updating...I do not like this at all, felt like I had no control over the this tech that I owned, so I wiped the television of all network settings and connections to the internet, I am treating this television like a dumb television now, I'm not allowing it to connect online again...
