This could present an opportunity! Similar to what used to be a traveling TV repairman. Tubes were before my time, but I imagine a person who used to replace tubes in the TV.

Instead of fixing smart TVs, this "repairman" would go around with a hot air rework station and unsolder wifi chips from working smart TVs.

If I had a TV I would unsolder the wifi chip. Maybe even easier -- just cut the antenna traces on the PCB.
