- zenethian 18d agoJust don’t let it connect to the internet then? I don’t trust any tv to connect directly to the internet at all. Ever.
- brador 18d agoThey boppin your data through the drivers. Don’t need direct internet access. 2026.
- snapplebobapple 18d agoWut? Explain
- llIIllIIllIIl 18d agoThis is a very smart messaging. Approved.
- fifilura 18d agoOuch, big brother. I have an LG TV screen. How do I know if I am infected? It is a few years old...
- devilsenigma 18d agoDoes anyone have a set of domains/ips to piehole to prevent such information going out?
- notimetorelax 18d agoHaving watched the GamersNexus video, some tracking is done with DNS resolution requests to unique domains.

- hdz 18d agoAnyone else make the switch to projectors from TVs as a primary way of watching media?
- bestouff 18d agoI did. Modern projector have the same spying shit nowadays. Streaming apps, games, ads and all.
- Markoff 18d agoI was considering it, but: too expensive (the good ones) too noisy requires canvas for good experience requires dark enviroment for good experience requires either wiring on ceiling/wall and drilling or extra furniture under TV (short throw) double power consumption over TV the only benefit really is the size, but nowadays you can buy 65-75" TV which is already pretty huge depending on your room, so I fail to see argument for projector unless you need super large screen which you intend to watch from big distance/outdoors in very late evening
- cassianoleal 18d agoI have a projector. Top of the line. Amazing image, bright as day, vivid colours, auto-keystone, the works. It runs Google TV. I trust it about as much as I do my LG OLED.
- jareklupinski 18d agoi got a "dumb" sony one, the runt of its laser line but 5+ years later i havent changed it nor anticipate i'll need to, nothing better looking than hdr10 exists anyway, and the laser projectors are easily visible even in daytime with basic curtains down
