"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Is it possible to physically disable the mic on the TVs without adversely affecting other functions? I see no reason a mic to be necessary on a TV at all.

Probably, just cut the wire connecting the mic.

I did a quick search and other suggestions are to fill the "mic hole", stick a needle in the mic hole to damage the mic, and applying a soldering iron to the mic. My LG tv has no visible mic hole, so they are getting crafty at hiding them.

Not sure about LG, but other brands usually put the microphone on the remote

The soldering iron might be a bad idea if you don't know what you're doing as it could lead to a short.

I have a tcl smart TV and it has a physical switch on the base of the TV that turns the mic on and off.

I was also able go download a program called productivity sweet which bypasses the TV's base menu and just loads to a hdmi output screen and apps you want to see so there's no adds or anything
