    Genuinely curious about this: are there smart TVs available that do not operate without being online? I’ve only had two over the years, and I have never connected them to our network. I just plug in an Apple TV and that’s it. Yet so many people complain about smart TVs. It makes me wonder if it’s even possible now to use them without being directly online.

    Yes it is. I do.

    Many people have disconnected their TVs from the internet, because they know LG and Samsung collect data including audio, even when the TV is off.

    An old laptop running linux doesnt send audio back to anyone,and all the services are online. Plug it in i stead. Use firefox.
