You can install real Linux on a Chromebook. You just have to make sure you press and hold F5 or whatever during that five second time window every time you boot it up so that it doesn't reinstall ChromeOS.
We went to a movie last month and were running late. I had wanted to stop by at a McDonalds or somewhere and get a bit to eat before the picture.
We decided instead to buy some snacks at the theatre. My S.O. did that while I got the tickets.
She ended up buying us each a 'hot pretzel' and a bottle of water and a tub of popcorn for us to share.
The 'hot pretzel' was a big mass of dough on a plate.
After we got out of the theater I happened to notice the recipt for the 'food.' The Hot Pretzels were like $14 each, the bottled waters were $5, the popcorn was I think about $8. Anyhow the 'snacks' were over $45 for two people. Unbelievable here in flyover country to pay that much for so little.

Is there a body of knowledge of this TV equipment where one could find which sets are the easiest to lobotomize? Meaning, are there smart TVs out there that it's easy to disable or wipe clear, or simply disable and ignore the 'smart' features?
Any set that you don't plug an ethernet into or enable the WiFi security settings on is going to be a 'dumb' set and suitable for use as such.
How else is the audio level, and the setting of a control going to be represented? Yes, I guess raw numbers should be enough, and you can use a Curses-based VT100 interface and hotkeys to control your audio instruments.
But nerding out that way is only relevant to a certain degree.

No, the calendar destroyed all those homes in Texas, by being the day of the storm.
Elon reminds me of PayPal, which I personally have never had any negative business experience with.

I think we have our homework assignment.
The Zuck is going to run for President in 2020 as an Independent.
It's going to assure a 2020 victory for either Trump or Pence.
In Early 2021 Facebook will be a smoking hole in the ground because the Antifa-Fashionists will be driven to an uncontainable rage.
And the even stranger one of the Wonderwoman movie,
At this point we really, really, badly need a Wonderwoman movie where the hero is a big beefy man as Wonderwoman.
