I switched to Kombucha, granted it was the palpitations from my coffee addiction that caused me to switch. Once you get used to the Kombucha taste, its so much better, gives me a ton of energy and a minimal crash. Its also grab and go instead of having to make a whole pot. I still enjoy a cup from time to time but Im glad that im not contributing to this industry anymore.
Making a TV a smart TV costs companies next to nothing as its just cheap software. Your best bet is to check out brands like Westinghouse or Element. But I will warn you that you aren't guaranteed to get years and years out of those TVs as the panels often go bad. You've got to remember that you get what you pay for, and for someone like yourself who keeps products as long as possible, you should buy something with good craftsmanship. Just don't buy a Vizio, ive had terrible experiences with those American pieces of crap.
