How much more expensive would a dumb TV compared to a Smart TV for the same quality?
That’s a serious question as I had never thought about all these privacy issues before buying a TV.

I don’t agree with this as it sounds a bit elitist.
Some people just don’t want to buy another device and use more electricity to watch a movie.
But I know what you mean.
And it should stay that way. I don’t want another product with planned obsolescence.
They could only try to end your TV by not supporting its apps because of its age, but luckily you can just plug a computer or a console on it to get all the apps you need.
Still, for now, I enjoy using my TV apps with an alternate launcher like Flauncher instead of the normal Android one.
If you do that, depending on the TV, you might have some system messages and stuff on startup…
But yeah it’s a good start.
I’ll probably buy an electric car one day, but I’ll be paying a lot of attention to its repairability. We have to make sure brands understand that « programmed obsolescence » isn’t accepted by everyone!
We should never produce any plastic for throwable products, but such a product could be a good start for people who aren’t actively trying to avoid plastic packaging.
Still, we also have to change our wasteful mentality and way of life.
