shoelaces can be a tangled mess yet not properly knotted

this is why I love it!

Entropy always increases.

There’s one way for a cable to be untangled, and an incalculable amount of ways for it to be tangled. When letting it randomly change state it is very improbable for it to randomly end up in the untangled state.

I’m pretty happy with my samsung. No really, hear me out, if power cuts out, when it resumes, the tv auto starts on the same input.
