Depends on the laws of the country with the language you picked during setup.
e.g. use UK english or German for setup and change after.
At least until they switch to detect via IP range or whatever.
Oh maybe that's it. I've also never seen any kind of popup or ad (same thing for my Samsung TVs) that I've seen people mentioning.
I had no idea why I might be spared.
I'm in the US, using English as my language. Idk, this is weird.
