Why I will never buy another Samsung device

I run the same setup for the same reasons. I also think having the TV disable itself until given network access (but waiting until after you've thrown the box away) or having prepaid 5G will come soon. It's disgusting but here we are.

I've actually come to appreciate the wireless keyboard though, it is awkward and bulky (even though it's a lightweight slim model) but the kids constantly lose the actual remote whereas the keyboard's size make losing it very difficult.

I think the AirTag thing has kind of changed my subconscious mental model about losing things: reading the bit about losing the remote, I immediately thought to myself "why not have a beeper in the remote that you can ping via a button on the TV or a phone app?"

No comment about the 5G thing though. If that's where consumer is heading you'll find me shopping in the advertising/DOH display panel section and trying my hardest to ignore the irony :D
