    Even then you still have a bunch of cheap hardware crammed into an insufficiently ventilated box that will lead to problems down the line.

    My TV is 15 years old, not very smart, thick as oatmeal, but works like a charm.

        It’s still there, though.

        And since it’s usually one integrated board, a failure in the “bullshit” will likely affect the not-shit.

          that’s just pure speculation. if they design the boards to cool properly during the warranty period there’s no reason to think they’ll have major issues after that.

        I’m not worried about me using the smart bullshit. I’m worried about it using me

          you can opt out of all that stuff. They bury the options deep in the settings but you can do it and it works.
