Same here. I have a Vizio that was rock solid when I first got it - I don't use any of the TV's native apps/OS, but heavily leverage the built-in Chromecast and Airplay functionality.
It randomly updated the firmware at some point, and has been flaky ever since. At some point it'll (anywhere from a few days to a few weeks), it'll simply stop showing up on the network for both Chromecast and Airplay. And requires a hard restart to get working again.

I literally have smart plugs laying around so I can hard reset some of my devices because they can't operate while always being on.
I'm terrified of the day we figure out energy storage to just have like 30 years built in energy store in these devices.
Is it still in warranty? Can you roll it back? Crippling a device after it has been purchased ought to be illegal.
