I bought a Philips many years ago, and it was perfect until an update suddenly gave me a lot of crap (ads) on the home screen.

Ironically they also provided a button where I could "adjust what you see on the home screen", but it turned out I could only add more crap. Not take anything away.

It's annoying, because it is not the same product I bought. It's worse.

Allowing consumer devices to connect to the internet does users more harm than good these days.
