Really. Now people want TV sets without the extra stuff.
I might be that some of us are not want no more bells and noises from out TV viewing. Check out Amazon:

Non-Smart TVs, also known as traditional televisions, are devices that lack internet connectivity and advanced features commonly found in smart TVs. While they may not offer the same level of functionality, their simplicity and affordability make them an attractive choice for many.

I understand. I am 8 5 and have poor vision. Trying anything new is a big hurdle.
Some websites stream news and programs from TV networks,  some free.

Here is a web site that might help you...

Did you know that your TV can talk to you? No, I am not talking about the characters in the shows and commercials. I am talking about powerful screen reader technology that allows a person who is blind to access and use all the onscreen programming and features available on today's TV systems. Screen readers are built into nearly all of today's Smart televisions, cable and satellite broadcast systems, as well as streaming systems like Apple TV, ChromeCast, and Roku.

Never mind  :)
I found the Virtual Machines folder by coincidence. It was still on my hard drive but on a different path within the One Drive folder. However, I removed it from my computer a couple of days ago because I never liked One Drive's presence on my PC.
Sometimes, things in the world may seem so illogical.

For some reason, I had to remove the Virtual Machines folder from the Documents folder, and to my surprise, any OS on VMware still runs without problems.
My question: can I still run guest OS on Vmware that way? Or, sooner or later, would this have some consequences for my host (Windows 11)?

And this way, my hard drive used space would be about 90 GB less, which is good.

At  95  plus years,  I have no plan to insist he try something new.   The Tv in his room is not dependable but he is comfortable with the remote.
