Right?
$450 and a toaster to use something like the external batteries I've used for a decade.

Nope.
Just watched them all a few weeks ago, still very funny, see nothing wrong with any of it. The movies are all about absurdity.
Ah, yes, hahaha, I was so confused!
Yea, I just blow on it in the shower. Problem solved.
Wait, egg washing?
Have you seen the books?
I know someone in a place like this, and to move there they essentially sell any property they have to buy their space in the facility.
It's not cheap, but these places also provide on-site medical facilities with trained staff so someone 65 having a stroke has a decent chance of being OK.
62 is first year of social security eligibility.
Since I haven't seen it mentioned, Still Game. Scottish characters in a retirement community. brutally funny, actual laugh out loud.

Are you one of my siblings?
So you have nothing to hide, eh?
These tvs, like smartphones, track lots of stuff. And the databases they feed make all sorts of inferences.
They even scan what you're watching from other sources and can determine what show it is, and report that info too.
They know when you're home and leave, to some extent.
I've read of patents for wifi tech in tvs that will connect to other TVs of the same brand for a connection if you don't set one up.
They definitely use their own DNS, and probably have some hard coded IPs so you can't block them phoning home via DNS (I've tested this myself). I can see this traffic even when I setup DNS blocks - they still hit the vendor's service IPs (looking at you, Samsung).
These companies are openly antagonistic and adversarial to us, and you "have nothing to hide"?
Another hero we didn't know we needed.
Have my grateful uovote.
It's the difficulty, Plain and simple.
I knew in the late 90's what was coming, and have tried to minimize my own exposure, but family and friends just want the convenience.
I have a friend who specializes in network and data security and he uses all the privacy-invading garbage like Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, etc, because "it's convenient". 🤦🏼
We need a simple, seamless solution to provide the features people want.
We have some of these things in Freedombox, CasaOS, and some OSS solutions, etc, but these are all beyond the skills of the average user. They're even a big challenge for me, because I'm busy.
Though I'm working on a single-box solution for my family, and which provides backup to each other, media server, phone backup (mostly photos and videos), etc.
It's pretty hard to do when phones are resistant to third party solutions.
