I am not looking forward to the point where more hardware manufacturers start taking the route that automobile manufacturers are currently taking and start building cell radios into the thing.

I can’t wait for the new brand of unboxing videos which entail opening up the device and removing the modem.

I mean, that’s already a problem. Can’t recall the name but Amazon has their own network they’re working on to allow devices to communicate when they don’t have internet access

Personally, I opened up my tv years ago and desoldered the microphone that was built into it, and removed the antennas for it’s wifi chip. Total pain in the ass, but it’s worth doing if you like your tinfoil hat.
