We say this now but in 5 years, cars could go the way of smart TVs... sold at prices subsidized by advertisers.
LOL, imagine thinking that TVs are actually subsidized and that the spyware isn't just extra pure profit.
Lol they absolutely are subsidized. Look how expensive non-smart TVs are new
Last I checked, Sceptre TVs are price-competitive with other brands, if not even cheaper.
Afaik they're a discount brand? That you have to buy from Newegg? But I'm glad there is at least one option!
If they don't included tracking, recording, spying, and advertising, they're premium at this point.
