Could be that the developers for the HiSense TV just copy-pasted whatever UA into their browser codebase and called it a day.
IIRC the Korean ISPs wanted websites that incur a lot of bandwidth, like Netflix and Twitch, to pay a "usage fee" for all the strain they were causing on the network. Which is absolutely ridiculous – they basically want more money while still charging customers subscribed for Internet.
Twitch did the right thing here in not paying. I think they also limited streams to 720p in Korea and there was a lot of backlash about that as well, but apparently nobody was bothered enough to kick up a storm about it to the ISPs. Which is sad, because you're getting a subpar experience with the Internet line you paid good money for, all because of the greed of ISPs.
Sadly Korea only has like three ISPs anywhere to get Internet service, so you either go with their shots or get no Internet.
Seems like someone at Google didn't hear about the Streisand effect. Now there's even more scrutiny into the chip benchmark. Great job, Google.
I absolutely hate this trend. If my eyeballs can see it, the camera on my phone can. Or a cheap HDMI capture card with a leaked HDCP key. They just want to screw over non-techie people who don't know about these workarounds.

The S5 had waterproofing with a removable back using gaskets. (Granted, the design was fugly, but that wasn't the fault of the waterproofing measures. Someone at Samsung loved bandaids) If the S5 could do it, I suppose other manufacturers could achieve the same thing with rubber gaskets. I mean, other waterproof gadgets like dive computers use gaskets on their port covers and what not, so I fail to see why it wouldn't work with battery compartments.
