I’m fairly techie and like my gadgets but I will not own a google, MS or amazon talking or automation gadget. The only thing that connects to wifi here are PCs and my wife’s cell phone and that’s bad enough. I bought a new TV a few years ago and made a point of not getting a Smart TV.
I like to make my own smart TV by running a PC and using the TV as a monitor. I feel it’s safer but I could be wrong.
