Disabling Wi-Fi on my TV came with some unexpected consequences

Recently, a coworker of mine published a piece about the benefits of disabling Wi-Fi on a TV. I’m not here to reject his views — from the sounds of things, it was a smart move on his part. And I’ve even covered how to enable Basic mode on a Google TV, which skips Wi-Fi setup outright. There’s always value in learning how to use a device on your own terms rather than what a manufacturer might dictate.
