Let me tell you a story. 4 Samsung smart TV models bought as a "pack" to bring down the price. Me and 3 friends bought them. 3 of them died in 5-6 years. One was just replaced with larger one but still works.

Difference? First 3 were connected to internet, last one, mine, was on stock firmware, never connected anywhere (I have computer near it and lately raspberry pi 4).

Coincidence?

Were they connected with ethernet cables? A lightning could do it.
Naah, no one was thinking of ethernet cables in old houses. Wireless all the way.
