GM’s data mining is just the beginning of the in-car advertising blitz

Sure you do. I've just stopped buying TVs. Projectors, at least, still seem mostly focused on displaying images.

Yep. I've got a 10 year old Plasma that still works and looks great. I will never own a car that advertises to me and sells my data. Hell, I'll never own a car that dings at me until I fasten a seatbelt if I can help it either.

Serious question: Why? I've never found it particularly helpful myself, but what's the big deal about a sound that reminds you to put on a critical safety device that you should already be using anyway? Do you really find yourself hearing those dings for long enough that it becomes a serious annoyance? If so, don't you think the ding isn't the actual problem there?

I was still able to find a low model Vizio in about 47 inches that was dumb. It was a godsend

PC monitors too; they make decent "TVs".
