It turns out that emoticons are considered a symbol, so they can beef up your passwords and make them more secure in combination with letters and numbers. Here’s how.

        I’ve had to manually type in passwords on a TV several times in the last few months because sometimes the login for even the biggest brand-name services is just broken.

      Security Experts probably don’t log into smart tvs all that often. Just a guess.

          That’s true for all car designers. You’re referring to the shitty designers, though.

          Architects don’t get involved in the actual construction of a building either.

            Oh they do. They come to tell you that the safety protocols you’ve implemented are interfering with their design.

            They’d prefer it if it looked pretty and then just fell down and light breeze thank you very much

      All the apps I’ve used recently use QR codes (or similar measures, like a sync code) that has you log in from the phone, so it should work anyway!

        In my experience the only one that works with any degree of reliability is YouTube. Even the Netflix one can be fairly intermittent.

        Also a lot in the time you’ll go away and the hotel you’re in will have a smart TV and the software was last updated in 2011 so you have to sign in on the device.

        But not all apps, sadly, I just experimented it with Crunchyroll, and saw my dad struggling with a crappy app called Vix yesterday.
