I have proof.
Because I am an idiot I like to run an open accesspoint.
The only user* so far has been the neighbors samsung tv sending status updates. I should probably be a better person and block it.
*probably because I am not a complete idiot and the open network is throttled down to just about unusable. enough perhaps for a webpage and a message but pictures are unpleasant and video is right out.
- ben0x539 3y agoDo you know that the neighbor didn't intentionally make their TV do that?
- somat 3y agoHard to say, the link is slow enough that video is unpleasant. But sure, it could have been someone fiddling around in the config when they first got the tv(onboarding process?) but does not have any streaming services so does not care that the link is garbage. But I think the tv was just happy to find a open network and started using it for telemetry.
