You sit down to relax, put on your favorite show, and settle in for a night of binge-watching. But while you’re watching your TV… your TV is watching you.
Smart TVs take constant snapshots of everything you watch. Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.
Welcome to the future of “entertainment.”
What 4K TV can I buy that doesn’t do this guys help? Or should I stick to monitors???
I mean… Just don’t hook the TV up to the internet. Don’t join your WiFi network on the TV.
Kind of a simple solution.
No it’s not! I had a goddamn Sony tv and it wouldn’t let me change certain settings unless I connected it to the internet! They try to force your hand!
What about connecting to a mobile/theter and change password after you adjusted your settings? 🤷♂️
Do you remember the model number? I would like to research this.
You can’t activate the warranty without it. Then once it knows it can go online it will constantly harass you.
Calm down, it’s a TV.
We’ll see how calm you are when your TV goes live on sky net and kills you in your sleep
I got xiaomi, opened it up and disconnected the Bluetooth / wifi card. Connect it to a linux device and now it is a shitter version of a dumb tv. It’s crazy how smart tvs really really suck at being dumb. But it does work once you get used to some annoying quirks.
Tip: connect a cheap air mouse/keyboard to it as a remote
You can buy any TV. Just turn off the tracking in the settings and plug in a streaming stick.
