the only company I know of that still makes dumb TVs is Scepter.. Which can be a dice roll, with how they acquire their panels.

besides, Smart TVs are indeed dangerous, but only if you give them an internet connection.

Things like blutooth toasters, though? They connect to the internet through your phone via their app, cause "smart" devices like that always require an app to use, so they can send all that data back home.
