My TV’s getting on a decade old. It’s getting bad burn in around the corners. It’s time is coming, and I’m prepared to replace it. In an ideal world I’d get a 4K HDR TV with OLED. Is it possible to get a high quality TV that doesn’t have smart features? They’re completely redundant for me so I’d hope that I could save money that way.

I wonder if you could use a pihole or something similar to disable it sending the data out

As long as they still connect via wifi, that’s probably working.

If they ever move to mobile network, that won’t work (unless you somehow manage to spoof a 5g antenna, which… is probably possible but also highly illegal I reckon)

Illegal, except for the cops that do this to track protestors by their cell phones, of course.
