    Sceptre has some dumb TVs. You can also still get the display TVs that companies use. I’m drunk so I forget what they’re called.

      Oh that’s a point, probably not cheap though, maybe not good for home cinema? Not heard of Sceptre, will check out. I’m happy just not connecting my TV mind you.

        Sceptre is cheapo stuff. And at least one brand of smart TV is wardriving to find networks behind your back (again, drunk, I can’t remember which right now) and creating mesh networks with other TVs of the same type.

            Learned skill. I spend a lot of time drunk and Android tends to do a pretty good job of guessing what I’m swiping.

            I also tend to reread what I wrote when I’m drunk. I actually generally do a worse job sober because I won’t double check my work.

            And it was signage displays for the dumb TVs I was thinking of, and Sharp TVs used to have unsecured wireless networks that you couldn’t really turn off, so they’d make a mesh with other smart TVs. I believe I’ve heard the same thing about Samsung as well.

            Now it’s time to go jog myself sick.
