Seems incoherent. What exactly is the bad idea and why? Are they rediscovering "don't run stuff needlessly as root"?

  The bad idea is that by rooting, you can (of course) turn your device into a 24/7 surveillance device that sends voice and video data everywhere. That does not mean that LG does all that by default.

    Because of course it does. You are fighting the wrong side, they should proof they are good, not you defend them.

      Yeah, it is insane a fully open source firmware with reproducible builds is not a minimum standard for something as sensitive as a modern smart TV.
      • p0lychromatic 26d ago
        It is not the minimum standard for computers. Why should it be for TVs?
        • m4rtink 26d ago
          It should be the minimum standard everywhere.

    You're just jumping around a single point about rooting, whereas the video shows it's logging all the devices, with their ip, name, even detecting someone being in a Teams call. And you are as with the article, trying to sidetrack all of it by focusing on rooting.
