Zerosquare (./67) :C'est légal en france ce genre de contrainte ? Il me semble que le revendeur est tenu d'appliquer la garantie quitte à se retourner vers le fournisseur (mais que c'est à lui de le faire), non ?
mais il faut passer directement par le fabricant

While I am an IT Professional, I got these for an unusual use case; Plugging one of these into the Ethernet port on my older Vizio "Smart"TV, I was able to disable the built-in Wifi.
From experience, many smart TVs don't allow one to disable to the Wifi, since that renders the "smart" features unusable. However, many of them do have built-in software triggers whereby if a physical network connection is detected, the Wifi will be disabled. Our Vizio TV stopped getting firmware and app updates 2-3 years ago, and the built in apps are slowly ceasing to function as the vendors (Netflix, Amazon, etc) update their backend services making them incompatible. We've since upgraded to an Amazon Firestick for our streaming services (which is overall a nicer experience than the slow TV apps), but without a way to disable the built-in Wifi, the TV was still broadcasting out, adding interference, and grabbing an IP on the network, but then not doing anything else.
Since these plugs register as a valid physical connection, they switch off the Wifi and therefore disable all now-obsolete smart functions. I only needed to use one, but having extra will be useful in the long run. If you're struggling to try to turn off the Wifi on your smart TV, I highly recommend these!
Samsung fridge shows creepy Apple TV ad, sending woman into a psychotic episodeUn frigo acheté, un épisode de Black Mirror offert !
Techspot
A UK-based Redditor writes that their schizophrenic sister believed she was having a psychotic episode when an advert for Apple TV+ appeared on her Samsung fridge.
The ad, which was promoting the popular Apple TV+ show Pluribus, showed black text on a yellow background that read, "We're sorry we upset you, Carol."
Unfortunately, the woman in question's mental health issues, and the fact she's also called Carol, sent her spiraling. She phoned her sibling to tell them that someone was trying to communicate with her through the fridge. She then booked a taxi to the local hospital's emergency department.
The woman spent two days at the hospital under observation and had her medication adjusted.
LG TV users baffled by unremovable Microsoft Copilot installation — surprise forced update shows app pinned to the…/
Tom's Hardware
LG smart TV owners are reporting that a recent webOS software update has added Microsoft Copilot to their TVs, with no apparent way to remove it. Reports first surfaced over the weekend on Reddit, where a post showing a Copilot tile pinned to an LG TV home screen climbed to more than 35,000 upvotes on r/mildlyinfuriating, accompanied by hundreds of comments from users describing the same behavior.
According to affected users, Copilot appears automatically after installing the latest webOS update on certain LG TV models. The feature shows up on the home screen alongside streaming apps, but unlike Netflix or YouTube, it cannot be uninstalled.
