This isn’t going to be an option in the near future. With Amazon sidewalk and other projects setting up open networks, your TV is going to automatically connect to a network whether you like it or not.
No thanks, when companies are doing their hardest to reserve and implement innovations like this, I’ll stick with my dumb 2012 TV til either it or I croak.
Inflation is underreported. They say it’s 3% annually when it’s actually 4% annually, so they can get away with it more easily if they only give you a nominal 3% pay increase.
They’re doing this by throwing food in the basket together with TVs and consumer electronics.
Since consumer electronics get cheaper constantly, that lowers the amount of total inflation. But food costs increase more than the total inflation. And that’s what we should actually consider as the “proper” inflation, since it defines our cost of living increase.
When I worked there in the late 90s, a Big Mac MEAL was 3.14 after tax.
I worked in Drivethrough checkout a lot and a lot of those prices are burned into my mind, half the time I was not near the register when taking orders and giving totals when it was slow.
Big Mac used to be 3.19 back in 2012, now it’s 6.09 but I don’t make double of what I did back then
Yeah but think of how cheap TVs that you don’t need are.
But no matter how much ketchup I use, I can’t cover up the bitter taste of the TVs lcd panel.
That spy on you and sell your data and then get so slow with updates after a few years you need a new one. And have advertisements baked in
Golly gee, if only there were a way to prevent that by, say, just choosing not to connect your TV to the wifi.
I’ve never seen so many complaints about a self-inflicted problem.
I never said I had that problem, I have never connected my TV to the internet. But those are issues with modern day TVs, you can’t argue against that
