I think he meant the CUI interface (Carbon UI) on the Wally. In any event, it is more tile-based, compared to the 211 interface. Obviously, the 211 interface is still a GUI. However, it is more text-based. It just looks pretty.
Being almost 80 myself and after a couple of months since swapping my 211k's for Wallys with the CUI, I much prefer the old GUI myself. Completely changing the look of the interface for him might be another consideration. It could end up being confusing for him. As you get up into our age bracket you tend to prefer things to be familiar and try to avoid learning curves if at all possible, especially if you're not tech savvy. Fortunately for me I am but he might not be. Another consideration would be the remote. The convoluted remote that ships with the Wallys is, in my opinion, junk. The buttons are at entirely different locations, most of which make no sense and that too can be confusing for an elderly person. However, thanks to crodrules, I found out a #40.0 remote will give him the old look and feel while operating a new Wally if you go in that direction.I think he meant the CUI interface (Carbon UI) on the Wally.

I would have guessed Yaris, keeping it in the Toyota family.
It's a Tesla Model Y. He bought a blue one. Had I an 89yo MIL, there is no way in hell I would have turned a nearly new Y over to her!
I feel for you and have had similar experiences with older family. Have to ask though, how were the pastries when he got them?
Connecting the ethernet cable to the 211z basically does the same thing as connecting a landline phone line to the back of the receiver. It allows the receiver to dial out to authorize pay-per-view programming and stuff like that. It also allows you to use the Customer Support app in Dish Home to view your bill and current account balance. Otherwise, not much benefit at all.
