Just add a SIM card. I've always wondered why they don't put one in the smart TVs, then they could eavesdrop on you all day long. Maybe they'll finally do it no

  There is little point when there is already a huge incentive for customers to connect their smart TV to the internet (ie the "smart" features). However you do already see some devices include a sim card. Home "smart" meters for the south of England operate this way. I believe some cars do to.

  Some IoT stuff already does[0]. According to the trusty people on the internet, you can remove these with your defrosters, and the SIM inside has unlimited data. Of course, approach this with proper scrutiny, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised since their entire business model is based on people not understanding how suction cups work.
