How long will it be before TVs embed a cellular modem with manufacturer-paid service to keep the smart features connected? “No setup, works straight out of the box” has to have at least some marketing value, after all.

For the windows, use aluminum screening. That also works well on floors, under engineered wood flooring. Nylon plated with nickel and silver makes nice drapes.
