Automatically joining open networks is a feature built into many devices, this is simply alleging that some TVs come with it enabled by default..
Also, that is a real feature that some advertising company's offer to their clients:

Sounds like you owe some of your family members an apology.
Not OP, but I have heard that some smart TVs do automatically join open networks. Whether it's true or not, I can't say.
But if it is true, I would imagine it would vary between manufacturers and even specific device models.
That laptop is just one gigantic piece of e-waste.
“We assumed the technology was further along than it actually was,” one executive said privately
I wonder how many executives made these types of decisions knowing the technology could not perform as intended, but wanted to boost their quarterly or yearly bonuses, versus how many were just gullible morons.
This is an obscure right-wing backed publication / propaganda dissemination tool...

Yes and no.
The tariffs stoked tension so much so that Canadians have been boycotting American produced alcohol, and bourbons were some of the first products targeted due to their proximity to Mitch McConnell (Kentucky).
Mr. Wonderful is still a piece of shit though.
Just some random guy who had registered firearms and allegedly made anti-semitic comments online.
To fair, they pulled it before it was released.
This extra sloppy response is a result of someone internally leaking it.
It would be great if the SEO gods forever associated the names of the superintendent and principal with their public positions of support for child pornographers.
This was a project from Anthropic's red team...
