TARDIS is an acronym of “Time And Relative Dimension in Space”. The word “Dimension” is alternatively rendered in the plural.
So, for its plural, I’d go for Tardises, as it doesn’t change the letters building the acronym.

generations of talentless kids inflicted them on their parents
I’m not sure who actually is/was inflicting recorders onto whom here.

After thinking about that for a while, Zuck might have been the better example.
That’s why I wrote “features of a human-like face” (like Q3PO in Star Wars), not a look-alike copy with “skin” (like Data in Star Treck NG or the one in the article).
Form is a necessity derived from function.
