      Past few? They literally started as a bunch of whiners gaslighting other countries for compensations and pity and playing victim.

    Great article; thanks for sharing.

    Does anyone have any similar articles that can show why smart-TV connection is a terrible idea to a non-technical user?

      even without shady stuff. it’s just common sense. disconnect the ‘computer’ from the ‘display’ so you don’t need to replace both when the ‘computer’ becomes obsolete–and it will, usually, before the ‘display’ quits working. don’t connect it. if you want ‘smart tv’ functionality, get a cheaper and easier-to-replace streaming device of your choice instead.

      beware of models or brands you have to go online with just to ‘set up’. more and more are ‘requiring’ internet access and/or an ‘account’ just to turn on and use as a ‘dumb’ display.
