Disconnect it from the Internet for starters. Why else would a company want to sell you a fridge with a screen?

What can you even do on an un-networked fridge screen? Play bejeweled while contemplating suicide?

A year ago I found out my TV didn't even have a "Forget this network" button. You had to

  1. Make a new WiFi network
  2. Connect it to that
  3. Turn off new WiFi network

In order to disconnect it. I went down this road because every time I watched a Blu RAY, it would pop-up an ad saying "HERE ARE OTHER WAYS YOU COULD WATCH THIS MOVIE YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T NEED!"

Couldnt you just change your wifi password and not tell the TV?

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 hours ago

Yes, but I'd have to change my WiFi for every other device in my house

Heh. That's how i "delete" my credit card info from a service that i don't want to do business with anymore.

  1. Generate a virtual card through my financial institution
  2. Assign that card to handle payment of that subscription via the merchant
  3. Shut off the card.

Eat shit Disney. I'm never paying you a dime ever again.
