I'm a guy who has disassembled and reverse engineered a standard Jazzy power chair, and what I noticed was the attention to detail regarding failures. The chair is thoroughly designed to shut down at the slightest bit of trouble. There's some redundancy in things like the controller, where it used redundant hall effect sensors that were identical to the others, but ran in an inverted power profile, to detect any weirdness in the sensor outputs.
I ended up adding a long range remote control to it. A remote control power chair is fun to drive around. People do get a little concerned when they see a chair rolling around without a driver
Anecdotal, the last "unsmart" TV I found was hobbled to the point of not even having a power indicator LED.
It wasn't used much until putting a "good smart" device behind it...in this case a Roku.
Orwellian prophecy in real life, the Roku sends data back to the company about anything you watch using that device.
The only difference between this setup and a "plus good smart" TV is that anything else displayed on the TV(pc, pirated movies, photos, playstation/xbox/nintendo consoles, etc) will be fingerprinted and sent back to the company analytical department.
My opinion is it is none of their business.
This is all acceptable because manipulation via marketing/advertising is considered a necessary evil, and, the device is easy to use.
Cover the light, I thought!
...the annoying light is adjacent to the IR receiver.
Cover the light, no remote.
Is this intentional?
