best part is even if you don't connect your tv to your wifi it will connect itself to any open networks in the area to try and send your data back to homebase

What the gently caress ~Smart TV's~ are generally just running android or some other linux flavor with some overlay UI, and they're likely never ever patched for security issues past like a year of ownership because why would the TV company give a poo poo, so it only makes sense that they'd put some bullshit not-actually-a-solution antivirus on there too to make you feel better. When a TV is hit by ransomware though it's generally some generic android ransomware that doesn't realize it's even running on a TV so you get fun results like:

That's fine. When they die their kids will sell it at a major loss just to be rid of it. Or, their kids will become homeowners.

Is this where I get to post again about my in-laws house that has no light switches or TV remotes or anything because you can do it all via voice command? Literally everything is connected to the wifi, including the wall plugs and poo poo, so that you can use voice commands to control it. This also means that there's so much wifi congestion that their connection isn't good enough to video call reliably. And where, after a power cut, my MIL had to call her husband who was away for something because she didn't know how to turn anything in their house back on. But hey, he can control it from anywhere in the world via an app on his phone

yeah that's exactly what happens when you let these rubes have too much input on construction of a home -- they'll build it all around their toys, it will be a total schizophrenic mess, and will be instantly outdated and even more ugly

If you're buying a house it's implied that you intend to live there indefinitely, so how can you cash out when you die? You cash out and buy a better house. In fact there are special rules to avoid paying capital gains tax if all your profits go into a new house fairly immediately. Also leaving a house to sell between your kids isnt bad if its sellable and not a boomer monster/Groverhouse

youre also supposed to cash out after the kids move out and you buy a smaller, supposedly cheaper house and keep the leftover money but it seems many old homeowners arent selling when their kids move out

Yeah, my parents definitely got a bigger house, especially since they just fill anything that they don't watch TV in or sleep in with junk. Their recent remodel is especially egregious as it makes no sense in a functional capacity, especially since they have mobility issues and still have to use a stair lift to get up stairs to the night sleeping room.

It refused my request to play the internationale though, repeatedly
