nah, inspecting meat is a one-off deal. What is being suggested is that the meat inspector has to certify your fridge/freezer is holding right temperature and is liable if the system fails and spoils the meat. With tv's you're looking at a one-off purchase with a long-tail support contract for years to certify and patch against any/all liabilities. The only way that would be profitable was if every smart tv required a service contract to support such demands, otherwise the model is flawed.

That's the point I'm trying to make. Support your shit properly, or keep the devices dumb. I prefer dumb, so I can add my own smarts without being tied to some shitty proprietary IoT.
- supernovae 8y agothats not the consumer pattern though, and to be honest, you can get dumb tvs :)
