>There's been an urban legend going around for years that smart TV's automatically connect to unsecured wifi but nobody's ever been able to demonstrate it a single time. (Probably their kid had connected it intentionally or something.)
Your neighbours' smartTV might take on an AP role for yours.
There's no escaping the ads and tracking with these devices.
- crazygringo 4y agoBut again, that's total speculation. You say "there's no escaping" and yet there is. Just don't connect the wi-fi. And done. You've escaped.
- snvzz 4y agoTo actually be sure, just invest in a dumb TV or monitor. SmartTV are not something you want to support with your money anyway.
