This is why you should never get a smart tv especially from Samsung, like what even is all this… They need analytics for every single component in the system lol
This was picked up using a pi hole, highly recommend installing one on your network
Questions:
Why did you get a smart tv? Well I got the TVs for free otherwise I would have gone with a more privacy friendly option.
Alternative you can look at this way. The TV price is subsidized by analytics revenue stream however if you’re a tech savy user and have a pi hole (or similar) you get a free discount!
I’m not sure if my grandma really cares that Sony is analyzing the soap operas she’s watching.
I really don’t think the price is subsidised but sorry if you were joking.
It most definitely is!
