Sometimes, less is more. This is not as bad of a scam as intrinsically-valued NFTs, but the day I can no longer put an axe through my TV is the day I've failed as a man. I'd sooner buy a TV for any addict in the family or friend group than let them suffer eyes wide open.


Given Seniors are habituated to TV watching, I can see a cottage industry of hand crocheted Doilies,

much like the Doilies used to cover the flashing unset clocks in VCR's;)

Also the inbuilt Camera is mentioned, but no information on the inbuilt Microphone?
