I'll save you the time and effort trying to work out the point being made: GamersNexus did an investigation which may overstate the privacy threat posed by LG

  Well as I do like saving time I’m certainly it going to watch an hours long video about someone installing their own software on a computer and doing things with it. If they had shown what a normal LG collects that would be fine. If they rooted it to install a new root certificate so they can MITM traffic and see what’s actually been sent that would be interesting. From what I read it’s “you can use a Turing complete computer with network and microphone access to do things”. I mean sure. What I want to know is what does it actually do I would love smart TVs to have a “no smart functions” option, and I know that they don’t because that’s part of the ad tech economy so beloved by HN. What I want to see is what does it actually do and perhaps how can it be blocked technically. Maybe it’s in the video, but videos are terrible ways to communicate this, and it seems to be mainly breathless nonsense and possibilities.
