This was a big deal to RV / motorhome users. I remember a Reddit thread where people were complaining that they couldn't use the TV without internet service. There were some Vizio people on the thread insisting that you don't

In New Zealand the middle light is (or at least was) called amber. Now I live in the US and the lights here look the same as NZ but I'm pretty badly colorblind so they're just words to me :) Horizontal rather than vertical lights

At least it says: "Never take a screenshot of your guest’s credit card details, and never write them down." That's a bit like instructions for an eBike. "This bike is limited to 20 MPH. Do not go to the third option on t
