Just how 'smart' is that TV?


Reading through the manual for an LG TV, I came across the following line in the notes:

When connecting via a wired LAN, it is recommended to use a CAT 7 cable.

This must be for the Skynet upgrade, so when your TV asks you to upgrade to a 10 gigabit switch and add multiple fiber drops to the house, just say “no”.

I figure it’ll start crying like a little girl when I plug it into the 5-year-old gigabit switch that connects to the 50Mb/s cable line through the house’s Cat 5 wiring.
