They have these at my local Whole Foods too, I was horrified the first time I saw it. I have yet to see a single person use these devices, and I hope that is the common behavior.

Was the TV you got from Sceptre? I got one recently as a dumb TV and it was quite cheap. No complaints thus far, but also managed my expectations in display and speaker quality from a $150 TV.

The issue is that it was the DE originally, some people (myself included) just didn’t fully get the memo when it changed like 15 or so years ago. I haven’t used the KDE DE since before that change, so I get how it could be missed. Rebranding is hard, even years later. I am sure many people think KFC still stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken too.

Definitely not you, they absolutely do this with snaps and have for a while. This was the main reason I stopped using Ubuntu.
