Anyone who owns an LG smart TV must inform all guests and family members that they are being monitored – this is required by LG’s current terms of use. Meanwhile, LG monitors install potential malware and surveillance software on a connected Windows computer.

    I just never gave my smart TV network info. It’s at the factory settings and can’t connect to anything. If there isn’t a console connected to it then it is useless. Just like the good ole days.

      They still have ways to connect, though they’re lower bandwidth and less reliable.

          You didn’t connect your Samsung smart TV, but your neighbor did, and they connect over a second separate Samsung™©® network that you and your neighbor both ‘consented’ to in the Eula’s, where media fingerprints and timestamps are exchanged updated, etc during downtime. Evil mesh networks, basically.

          Or Sony™, or rjfyjdokfdrlvdgjg™, or whatever.

            That’s really interesting and very plausible. I’d never considered it.

            I wish Lemmy had a ban list and post/thread removal list. It’d make it easier to know what’s allowed here.
