Where I now live has a ‘smart’ thermostat. I made a point of learning the upstream wiring so that I can bypass it, if the Left starts getting cute (like cutting it off when the sun don’t shine, or raising the temperature setting).
Whether we like it or not, this will soon be a survival skill, so you might as well learn it, and help your kids learn it.
But even with those skills, eventually overriding of ‘commands from above’ will be outlawed and people will be screwed, unless they have backup power that they can slowly recharge, during times when the sun is shining.

Seems to me to be a good thing. Those devices can no longer feed your personal information back to big tech. The further off the grid I am, the happier I am. However, that also means I have very few if any of these devices.

This should be fun. We have two "Smart" TVs that were built in 2014. I suspect they may be on the list. The good news is we rarely use the TVs for streaming, and if we do move to a streaming TV service, we're likely to get a current device like a Roku which won't have this issue.
We have two Android smartphones that we purchased new (as old-stock) in 2017, but the model's release was in 2014. The last updates by the wireless provider were in April 2017, and the phones are not capable of being upgraded past Android 6.0.1 (chip-set limitation). Thankfully, we don't use these phones for any important online accounts, but the occasional Internet search while out and about might be impacted. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Sounds like the ad on the about batteries a little girl in the back seat of a car her lap top dies she slams it on the seat screams and smears green lip stick all over her face.
Mega funny only seen a few times here in LA.

Personally, I think most ‘smart’ devices are incredibly stupid. WTF do I need my fridge or coffee maker hooked up to the internet for?
That said, I DO like having my stereo and media player networkable. However, both are purely for internal LAN use. I don’t know why I would want to turn my stereo on when I’m not home.
