What if any traffic is encrypted? Taking snapshots is not sending them in the meaning that software can delete similarly looking images by their own definition

What if any traffic is encrypted?
Taking snapshots is not sending them in the meaning that software can delete similarly looking images by their own definition of similarness.
And BTW that kind of testing is more needed for some industry critical equipment - processors with ME, routers, etc. TV is a brainrot thing for dumbs, nobody needs a TV which doesn't spy you.

No, TV is nigh-universal and everyone deserves privacy.
- eimrine 2y ago> everyone deserves privacy Definitely not users (useds?) of proprietary software. Use monitors for privacy they do not have any urge to phone home. I agree that the testing should be ubiquitous but if the device is crooked it is no sense in trying to figure up how exactly crooked it is. Maybe it uses steganography, maybe it is able to detect MiTM devices, some TVsets cease to keep working if the internal memory is 100% filled with pictures of what are you watching so no extra knowledge about the crooked device is useful if you have already agree to have Pavlik Morozov with microphone and videocam right in your bedroom.
- ranger_danger 2y agoIf by encrypted you mean regular TLS, there's still ways to sniff it in many cases. Most smart TVs run an open source OS after all. What's worse is if they decide to encode the tracking data as something that looks innocuous so that nobody even notices it.
