The Dutch people should probably protest against measures like those.

They don't, because they are largely anti-luddites.

I was thinking about this on the way home the other day. I'm the most tech savvy of all my family and friends. I live and breath tech. Code all day, game all night.
But I'm the one who hates all smart home devices. I'm the one who wants a dumb TV. I would be perfectly happy with my dumb phone if it didn't keep pocket dialing emergency services.
I want less tech in my life not more.

I'm in a similar spot and have an ancient, dumb plasma TV on its last legs. I've poured HOURS into researching a replacement dumb TV that is reasonably cost effective and available. It's way too hard. I can get commercial displays from Samsung that are about 50% more expensive than consumer grade and about 4 years behind in picture/quality but that's about it.
