    Many, even when offline, will constantly pester you to connect to a network, or will attempt to connect to any open one it finds.

    Some have offline, non-targeted ads from factory.

    There have recently been trials of Amazon-powered TVs automatically linking to any Echo devices it can find and using it as a bridge to get internet. I’m unsure if that’s something they’re actually going to go ahead with right now though.
