I can accept optional apps. If it's mandatory I will return the device. My oven can connect to the wifi but has never been connected.

My buddy wanted to give me some OLED tv because he baught another one he didnt need recently but im happy with my 2010 toshiba non- smart TV.

Apps should have to send a monthly statement of how much money they make from and how they used your personal information. Possibly even cut you a check each month

Why would an oven need to be connected to WiFi? Do people start cooking something then leave the house?

I could see something like checking the time remaining and/or temperature from your phone. Obviously that's not a need for WiFi, don't misunderstand me lol, but I could see some uses. For example, some people with severe anxiety or OCD might appreciate being able to make sure they turned it off remotely.
