Re: IoT - "you'll get what you deserve"
"Its also easy to forget that many shops have stopped selling TV's that aren't smart! Sure, don't connect it, but what if your neighbor's kid does when you're out one day, and you don't discover it for six months!"
Or worse, it comes with Whispernet, OTA, or Powerline communication capabilities that you can't kill without killing the TV AND voiding the warranty (and you can't even Faraday-cage a Powerline network)? I bet pretty soon chatback will become a standard, essential feature of all electric appliances in the future such that trying to kill the feature kills the device cold.
And as for moving to the forest, there's the matter of the satellites...
