Paranoia is surely a common mental health issue linked to hate-based ideologies
Yeah, if you have a smart tv, you’re being spied on.
Yup, a vast portion of my blocked connections on my adguard home setup come from my tv.
I mean, she’s an idiot but she’s not entirely wrong either: Modern TVs try to collect all sorts of data on us, it’s why smart TVs are cheaper than commercial displays with no smart features
Yeah but she’s clearly not talking about data collection and metrics. Someone accidentally connected to her tv when trying to screencast (most likely explanation based on her given evidence) because she isn’t smart enough to practice basic connected-device privacy best practices.
Oh yeah, like I said…
It’s why you can’t even buy displays with no smart features
Right? Like duh Margerie, it’s all spying on us, all the time. Seriously, what world is she living in?
If it’s a smart TV, she’s right, just not for the reasons she thinks. The TV collects data and uses that for advertising. If it has a microphone or camera, that’s also a potential vector for attack, but I don’t think she’s interesting enough to spy on.
Dear lord what a dumbass. You and everyone else carries around the spy device by choice, all day every day. I’m using it to type this comment. You’re using it to read this comment. The thing has multiple cameras and microphones and is 100% listening to and watching everything we say or do. It’s your phone, if that’s not obvious by now.
I mean, she could be. But probably so the TV manufacturer can sell her data to advertisers. It’s nefarious, but not the same sort of nefarious she thinks it is. There’s no jews with space lasers inside her TV.
Thats because we are all being spied on via our TVs. Have you not read 1984? I dont even own a tv.
I own a tv that is 1080p, but not a smart tv. Not because I’m worried about being spied on, but because I don’t want something with software that I might not be able to update and might stop working. I do own a roku I connect to it, but I also use a raspberry pi and can stream from my home server.
I mean… If it’s a Samsung or budget brand it probably is.
Imagine voting for her, and believing that to be a good thing.
The only safe thing is to throw out all your televisions!
My tv fat shames me. It spied on me all pandemic and then now every time I turn it on it tells me “PerogiBoi, your ass got huuuuge”
I totally get why Marjorie: The Gathering is upset because my tv also talks to me. No one believes me and is all “PerogiBoi I’m concerned for your mental health”.
For serious. Me n Marj, 2 peas in a barge.
