My 10 year old TV which I watch 10 year old TV-series via HDMI from? I don't think so.

Tomorrow there's going to be article about how my car spies on me as if that's not 15 years old too. Or something about my office job that I don't have.

I'm becoming irrelevant. Not the target audience for anything.

That has also been my strategy (both for TVs and cars), but that doesn't mean it's reasonable to pretend that it's a solution for the general public or that consumer-protection regulation isn't both abundantly warranted and sorely needed.

It tooke about 6 months to find my truck that didn't have the connectivity link it. I think everything after 2022 on these you're pretty much screwed, but it was an adventure to say the least.
