Could you consider removing the ?is=... parameter from the link? That and si are tracking parameters used by YouTube to track who you refer videos to.

A fine of .02% of a day's profit.

Even better. Put the LG on a untrusted vlan that only whitelists public IP access.

My TVs don't get connected to the network because TV companies have started showing ads, and that was bad enough. Then came the fact that a lot of TV apps were making your TV into a residential proxy, making your TV into part of a botnet. And now, on top of all that, they're spying on you.

The ads were bad enough.

In any reasonable world you would have control over devices in your house that contained computers and would be able to remove bad software and install your own stuff. But, these devices are all covered by section 1201 of the DMCA which makes it a crime to bypass any access control software. This is how Apple is able to block alternate app stores. It's why printer ink is the most expensive liquid on the planet. It's why John Deere is able to remotely brick a tractor anywhere in the world, and prevent farmers from fixing their own farm equipment.

What's especially galling about this is that, the US forced the rest of the world to adopt this bullshit as a part of trade treaties, threatening that any country that didn't do it might lose tariff-free access to the US economy. And now what happened? Trump just ripped up those treaties anyhow and imposed the tariffs anyhow.

I just wish there was a country brave enough to rip up the IP agreements the US forced on them and allow us to actually own our own stuff again.

They speculated it could connect anyway via some router brands, that allow specific devices to connect automatically. Since cases like that happened.

So if it's range of neighbours' routers, you might be fucked anyway. They didn't confirm it though, to be clear.

He hacked it without internet access and also show that they can collect data without internet access

This is why I don't buy smart TVs in the first place.

yeah now all the schizos of old are just genuinely 100% right. tuns out we're being followed the toaster is a spy

I'm not surprised. Almost everything that you would assume does something in only one direction also does it in the other direction. LEDs generate a small amount of current when you shine a light on them, solar panels emit a small amount of infrared when you apply power to them, etc.
