Netflix to disappear on older Samsung TVs
Samsung has announced that Netflix will no longer be supported on some of its older smart TVs.
From 1 December, the Netflix app will no longer work on some 2010 and 2011 models due to "technical limitations".
Seven older Roku streaming sticks will also no longer support Netflix from December, Roku told Digital Trends.
Netflix can be watched on smart TVs, set-top boxes, streaming media players and video consoles. Users can check if their devices are compatible here.
Samsung wrote on its support page: "Due to technical limitations, Netflix will no longer be supported on 2010 and 2011 TVs beginning on 1 December 2019.
"If you have one of the affected models, you may see a message on your TV indicating that Netflix will no longer be available on this device. You'll still be able to watch Netflix on your TV by connecting another device with Netflix on it."

Vista ran slow as dog-shit, and I'm still convinced that its requirements were a ploy to get people to buy new hardware to handle it. It's forced obsolescence, not natural obsolescence. Google's app store tells me that Lyft won't work on my own phone, but I can sideload and older version of Lyft and have it work just fine. That will work until Lyft find a way to block older versions of the app, but that will discriminate against the "poor minorities with older phones" so we'll be okay for awhile since Lyft headquarters is in San Francisco amid increasing public awareness of Jewish tricks.
However, the type of people willing to buy a new TV for Netflix are the same type of people stupid enough to actually enjoy what's on Netflix: Baraq Hussein Soetoro's pet project for globohomo race-mixing propaganda advocating for the extinction of the White man.

Yeah, but that was back then. Modern windows is able to do that, but on more powerful hardware. So it's clearly better.
People today are educated enough to repeat what they are taught but not to question what they are taught.
