So no more LG televisions anymore then
My LG OLED panel is awesome. Beautiful TV.
I just don’t let it connect to the internet. 🤣
That doesn’t fix the larger problem of these things turning ever more into surveillance devices
I read a story earlier this year where the author suggested that in the near future, appliances of all kinds will ship with embedded cellular radios. The author's rationale was that consumers either don't connect devices, or are increasingly finding ways of blocking cameras, microphones, and telemetry. The claim was that cost of the radio and service are cheap relative to the value of selling your private information.
Not sure if that'll happen, but it certainly underscores your point about the larger problem.
I'll cut the aerial/antenna then..
