I wonder how long not connecting it to wifi will be a viable option. I wouldn't be surprised if many devices today still attempt to connect to open networks even if you decline to connect it to your home network. Once cell modems are embedded in everything the only option to prevent it from phoning home will be to physically disable the modem or put it in a Faraday cage.
- pwinnski 7y agoFortunately, not connecting to wifi also means that my TV's software/firmware won't be updated, so for this particular device, I think it will be a viable option as long as it keeps operating. Whether TCL will someday close that loophole for future models remains to be seen.
