I recently tried this for a new TV - buying a regular “non-smart” TV without the internet features without being “AI-enabled” (whatever the fuck that means).

It wasn’t possible - there was literally no TV available that didn’t have a small computer built in to connect to the internet and send all my usage data somewhere.

I probably have to find a second hand one somewhere or just continue to live without one.

Not saying that it’s the same with fridges - but who knows a few years down the line it might be…

I never understand this type of refrain. Why connect the TV to the Internet?

I have yet to run into a TV that doesn't work entirely offline at any pricepoint

What is the point of a smart TV though?
