I wonder how many people would still be alive of he’d done that, between pandemic mismanagement, vaccine hesitancy that he championed, and various other things that don’t come to mind off the top of my head, he’s got a significant amount of blood on his hands, directly and indirectly.

Him being elected will only make it worse.

I’ve found that in those cases its usually explorer that’s the culprit. Just having the removable drive open in explorer is enough to keep windows from being able to unmount the drive.

Lg TVs do occasionally nag you about connecting to the internet but are otherwise fine completely disconnected.

And these are the people who demand id to get back into your account if they find activity they deem suspicious.

At least with a TV you can actually turn off the WiFi and just not connect a network cable to it. In my case the TV periodically tries to connect and prompts me to check the network settings, so I’m fairly sure its not trying to randomly connect to an open WiFi network. YMMV I suppose. A decent workaround would be to set up a diff router or ssid and just blackhole that network from getting online at all. But that can be more technical than some people are comfortable with.

Don’t connect the TV to the internet. Buy a settop box like a shield TV and stream through that.

No, one need only look at the windows recall debacle to see how corporations would abuse the chip, not to mention the potential for advertising beamed directly to your brain and the possibility of malware. Hell even discounting all of that, not that you should by any means, how would upgrading work?
