I’m currently looking at the Nissan Leaf, and maybe the Chevy Bolt.

They lied to me, and wasted my time.
I searched inventory last night. I called and made an appointment for a specific car. They made up a story about how the car was sent to auction because of some issue with it, but they have a new one for me. When I don’t want the new one, they suddenly find […]

When I say goodbye, he tells me the manager wanted to meet me and apologize. I tell him that isn't necessary. I need to go.
As I'm headed to my car, someone runs out of the building yelling: "We still have the old one! Folks! It's right over here! Do you want to drive that?”
At this point, I […]

But they do have a brand new one. Would I like to drive that?
I'm frustrated, but the goal was to test-drive, not to buy. I've never driven a Leaf, so why not?
The reason why not is that the new Leaf has been completely redesigned. The old one looked like a normal car. It had a normal car […]

The main reason people aren’t moving to a cheaper place is
You’ve moved to a cheaper place with your remote job. Cool
Your company reduces your salary 20% because of cost of living adjustments (they will).
Cool, now you live in the sticks, make less money. Maybe somewhere you don’t know […]

(I know about HD HomeRun and Channels.app, but I am not interested in remotely supporting this complexity at her house.)
I guess my question is, what's the best choice for a TV interface? Something that's simple/understandable/unlikely to be accidentally in a non-working state.
