I’m honestly shocked that nobody has mentioned mesh networks. It might also just scan for any unsecured network it can connect to without informing you in any way. Not connecting your TV to your WiFi is not nearly enough to preventing it from phoning home. You need to open the TV and ground the antenna(e) to physically disable the wireless capabilities. Even then, there may be other antennae hidden under or inside components you can’t disassemble.

Short answer: No. Your smart TV is smarter than you are.

Have you heard of mesh networks?

Peace, love, unprotected sex with strangers, rampant drug abuse, phony pseudo-religion, etc. Which parts were controversial again?

I don’t really think you need to worry about inanimate objects seeing as they haven’t been made for good or evil specifically. On the other hand, if you write software that decides who lives or dies, you have a gigantic responsibility and the blood of any accident is on your hands

You really nailed the proportional response this time. It’s crazy that this started with me criticizing your wording, and now it ends with you saying I need “specialized help” like you have any authority on the matter at all. What can I say? My ability to pick out dishonest, manipulative, snake-like people remains on point.

Literally only leftists repond with 5x as much text as whatever you said to them

It’s like I’m psychicly DDOSing you

Is it really impossible to critisize a leftist even the slightest bit without them flying completely off the handle? I only critisized your wording.

Funny to suggest its cosmetic function isn’t important.

“So your point is…”

Perhaps the single most dishonest way to begin a sentence

Everything you read on your computer and outside your home is propaganda.

The company app is for actual work, the others are for instagram and netflix

I’m gonna keep it real, I think the post is about you

Fair enough, though I would probably give you a light ribbing lol. If I see someone wearing a shirt for a band I love, I am definitely going to ask their favorite album because I actually want to know. I see them as conversation starters and it’s really exciting to me when I think I’ve found someone I have something in common with. It’s really hard to find people I relate to and it’s such a letdown when I realize I was wrong.

I get it, but honest question… why wear a shirt for a band you hardly know?
