Snart TVs.

(1/1)

tp4tissue:
One should probably stop connecting your TV to the internet. Kind of a huge security liability given how sparse the security updates are. ??

Sniping:
on this topic I hate all the ad notifications and updates smart OS forces down your throat. I have it disabled supposedly but still have to deal with it every once and a while.

tp4tissue:
You can use the adblocker in the pi-hole to see what the tv is talking to and cut it off.

The problem is, there's no way to know if ROKU or some native TV APP isn't compromised, there's no one looking at these things, they just wouldn't, they're barely getting features updated/ bug fixes for new models.

Findecanor:
There is no way I'm connecting a TV to the Internet. The TV could be spying on you. Seriously.

tp4tissue:
Everything spies, on you, Tp4 is not worried about the smart spies, they're not interested in the $11 in Tp4's bank account.

We worry about the bad-spies, who will stealz that $11.

Bad spies are not fast enough to crack the big systems, they atk the rokus and smarthome devices.
