    Remember when TVs were just displays and nothing more?

    If you never give a tv the internet, it stays a dumb tv

      My Samsung TV isn’t connected, so it’s dumb but also passive aggressive. The input banner on the screen says “crime zone” when the internal source is selected.

      If you never give a tv the internet, it stays a dumb tv, so far.

      I think it’s only a matter of time before TV manufacturers start disabling the TVs if they can’t connect periodically. Or they’ll start shipping them with SIM cards.
