Why are smart TVs so whiny?
A meme comparing a muscular “CRT TV” Doge with a smaller, worried-looking “Smart TV” Doge. The CRT TV side lists benefits such as not needing updates, simply plugging in cables, and being built like a tank. The Smart TV side complains about having no Wi-Fi and repeatedly calling servers back home.

On paid plans you can add multiple forwarding mailboxes per alias under Settings → Aliases, and set any of them as the default for all aliases. A shared "household bills" alias can reach both partners without either giving out a personal address.
Settings for Aliases in Pass, allowing multiple email addresses (after they've been verified) to receive mail from a single Alias.
