  1. Certain people have known about this for years but people look at me at me like I'm some kind of conspiracy theorist when I tell them about it. LG is one of the worst. LG claims it's so they can give me info about what I'm watching but really it's about collecting data. I wish it were more public knowledge about how invasive these companies are.

  2. Would be interesting to know how many minutes or hours TV's can buffer data about the content that is viewed. I mean, if you have watched stuff that's no-one else's business while the TV has been offline, how long you'd have to play something you'd feel comfortable to share with the manufacturer before you could safely connect the TV to the internet, i.e. the TV couldn't tell what you actually watched? What I'd be interested to do is, when not actually watching the TV, actually giving the manufacturer something to observe, like leaving this video playing in loop 🤔. Or, some some g ay p or n — anyway, something that would make the spies to feel awkward or uncomfortable, or to realize that their attempts are not working, and that it's the users who are choosing what they want the manufacturer to see, not giving the real data that the manufacturer would want 😂.
