It’s getting difficult to find outright dumb TVs now. Although some (including some Sony TVs) give you the choice on setup of choosing either “smart TV” or “basic TV”.

That article may as well be sponsored by WhatsApp. Zero direct mentions of Signal, but tons pushing people to WhatsApp. That’s a bit disappointing.

I think having English heritage is not trendy for several reasons.

• It’s seen as the default (as you pointed out), and thus boring.
• It’s not seen as exotic/fashionable because of stereotypes about the English.
• The English have traditionally been considered America’s enemies because of what happened two hundred and fifty years ago.
• Stories being passed down (and possible exaggerated) from earlier generations about how the English oppressed their ancestors.

ETA: Man, you really riled up some people!
