How do you do this? Wrapping it in grounded tin foil? Ripping out the wifi module?
Do I need to void warranty and dissect a new piece of consumer electronics to remove the spy organ? Is that really an acceptable situation?
- fulafel 6y agoPut a password on your wifi, it other security benefits as well.

- anthk 6y ago>And inevitably someone will say that they'd heard that Smart TVs will connect to unsecured WiFi networks in proximity and start uploading your data. That's bullshit because that could get into a HIGHLY illegal issue on the manufacturer as they could join into a foreign network tampering with comms. And IDK on the US, but the fines on Europe on that are really high.
