Pretty soon we're all going to wish our appliances were just appliances again...

  I suppose the market will decide what gets sold.

    Bricking the I(di)OT(ic) Components of smart devices as a service. Lets just stop calling it ransomware- and lets just call it Outsourced Planned Obsolence.

  <<rant>> I am looking to buy a New TV now... Attempting to find a non-smart TV is very hard, not impossible but there are very few options... I bought my last TV in 2004, I want my next TV to last atleast 1/2 the time my Current TV has. There is no way the Embedded PC will continue to support all the new Applications and services in 6-10 years, I would be shocked if most of the smart TV functionality is dead in less than 2 years after purchase or if it does get updated it will run so poorly it will be nearly non-functional I just want a Display I plug things into, I have FireTV's Roku's and rPI's to provide the smarts... <<end rant>>

    Just don't connect it to the internet and it's the same as a non-smart TV.

    Why not an HDMI monitor with speakers? Nice and dumb...
