You're in a minority, though - that's the problem. Stuff like TVs have huge benefits to manufacturing at scale.
Counter-intuitive though it might seem, it'll be cheaper per-unit to produce a TV with smart TV crap with a market of one million than it will be to make a basic TV with a market of ten thousand.

- ethbro 10y ago> it'll be cheaper per-unit to produce a TV with smart TV crap with a market of one million than it will be to make a basic TV with a market of ten thousand I would go even farther and say that (in longer term accounting) it will be much cheaper to produce a smart TV with 10,000 sales than a basic TV with 10,000 sales. Or haven't we learned that the first thing a processor + network connectivity is used for is extracting marketable analytics?
