> Pro tip for devices that refuse to simply remove working WiFi credentials

Is there examples of such devices? AFAIK every smart TV can be switched to HDMI input without being ever connected to the Internet.

My parents got a new smart TV; if you don't give it wifi access it will nag repeatedly about it. Very annoying, and it only takes one time for it to go "Yay! I'll store these forever now."

(It will also wheedle you to re-enable the AI features and telemetry if you turn those off. Which you do like eight levels of confusingly and scarily named submenus.)
