Sure, the whole world is on fire right now, but there are also little things to be upset about. ☝😉

    To be fair to the tv, it’s not letting you know it’s off, it’s letting you know it’s still on but in sleep mode. TV’s are just giant tablets now. If it was off, you’d have to wait for it to boot into its operating system the next time you wanted to watch TV.

      I have dumb TV’s still with the same problem. It’s to communicate that it’s plugged in and receiving power. If the TV isn’t working properly, that’s easy to verify rather than having to worry about the surge protector, outlet, circuit breaker, etc.

      The fact that TV’s are “smart” is a whole other issue I could get curmudgeonly about.
