Something is going on with Samsung TV’s voice assistant
My TV has suddenly started to interpret voice commands as if I was speaking Russian. Users on Samsungs community forum are reporting the same issue. There are users on Reddit who are also reporting the same issue.
A quick google search shows that this is worldwide, and that it started somewhere between 3-5 days ago.
What the hell is going on, Samsung?
(I am not seeking tech support or advice, just raising awareness to what is hopefully a benign problem.)
Ever been an engineer who seriously fucked something up?
Da
A man read too much Russian, this is what happened to his brain.
For those curious, it’s because the video appears to be a ChubbyEmu video and his titles are always in the above format. He reads about medical issues.
This TV suddenly started spewing Russian subtitles, this is what happened to it’s hardware….
The owner brought the TV to the ER, where we are now.
That’s hilarious, I JUST started watching The IT Crowd for the first time!
Самсунг теперь русская компания
That would be hilarious.
I hope the TVs make a recovery.

Bernard is a national treasure!
Pree-vee-yet droog!
проверьте настройки, возможно, там можно изменить язык
Nothing fixes it. The language is still Russian. Changing it and changing it back doesn’t do anything. Factory resetting does not fix it either.
The links I provided show other users trying fixes, and nothing working.
