China's OnePlus is Going To Start Making TVs (theverge.com)
Chinese electronics company OnePlus, known for making inexpensive but high-end smartphones, is entering a new line of business: making TVs. From a report: Best known for its phones, China's OnePlus also has a small catalog of really good accessories like wireless earphones and surprisingly awesome backpacks, though nothing as complex or expensive as a television set. In announcing the news on the OnePlus online forums, company chief Pete Lau describes it as "the first step in building a connected human experience." [...] OnePlus has decided to make its entry point into this market the TV itself, which has always been at the center of home entertainment, though often with the help of other connected devices. Reading Lau's teaser announcement, the OnePlus TV -- which so far only has a project name, no timeline or specs have been revealed -- will serve as the connectivity hub for OnePlus' future vision of the smart home.
The TV will report what you watch,how often you watch, and probably has a camera in it with facial recognition and records who is watching, and reports it all back to the government.
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.

A smartphone is arguably far more complex than a television set.
