Product placement was the least annoying. I’m pretty sure we all wanted to know why the original Daredevil law office had Progresso bread crumbs in their coffee corner, so it’s not like it went unnoticed.
I bought a Philips one. Turned off WiFi cause my mom doesn’t use streaming much, and to get rid of those effing “accept cookies?” pop-ups.
Every once in a while it suggests to connect to the network. 😑😑
I’m only getting trash results now but there was an entire discussion on one of lemmys communities about tech safety and privacy and one user went into a lot of detail and provided articles on it.
Apple’s monitors have an entire OS in them. They have much of the same internals as an iPad. Honestly, I have no idea why, because they don’t do anything especially fancy.
Samsung makes “smart monitors” with Tizen or some shit like that.
This is annoying. Idk how we fix it.

Simple. Don’t buy a TCL television. If you do have one, or any other brand of “smart” TV then for gods sake do NOT connect it to the internet.

And even then, there have been smart TVs caught sniffing for same brand devices and open networks to connect to the web.
I’ve not heard of that… Got any links to articles about it?
Samsung did it, there was a Reddit thread where one users TV used a neighbours open WiFi to connect automatically

We don’t do “smart” TVs. We set up our own systems.
Buy a large flat computer monitor and plug a small PC into it
i wonder how long until they start putting shit to those too
Isn’t that the entire idea behind Windows 11. Well, not the entire, it’s also about DRM.

Apple wants you buying from them. Remember how a simple charging cable was a problem back with the first iterations of the iPhone.
You get a pirate ship and a nas to store your booty. Maybe a few specter TVs while they exist.
