Let's say you ask your Lenovo Smart Display, "What is a Rat Terrier?"
You get a nice summary screen with a photo of a Rat Terrier, and the assistant says, "According to Wikipedia, the Rat Terrier is an American dog breed [and goes on from there]"
There is also a handy Wikipedia link in the middle of the page if you want to read more.
Last week this link - and all other viewing of web pages - was disabled by a Google update. This is not a "bug" from Google's point of view, it was a deliberate and documented change.
> Important: Access to the web isn’t supported on Smart Displays made by manufacturers other than Google.

Of course it was supported before this forced update!
I am thinking of filing against Google in small claims court to be refunded the price I paid for my three Lenovo Smart Displays.
