    Dumb tvs are still sold in some places. If it’s impossible to get a dumb TV and have a pc, at that point it makes more sense to get a simple monitor and use the pc as the smart device so you actually have full control. The android boxes you connect to tvs are not the epitome of privacy either.

      This is true. Almost every streaming box sells your data out of the box. Roku is one of the worst. Nvidia Shield is pretty bad too.

      “Dumb TVs” are extremely rare. You can buy most TVs and just not connect them to the internet and achieve the same thing.

        This feels like such a waste but if there really aren’t any dumb tvs around anymore, oh well
