Something I've noticed about this however is most tech-literate people who actually care about their privacy tend to leave the wireless disconnected and simply attach the TV to their HTPC device which is from there connected to the internet.
Disconnecting it from the internet and possibly even sabotaging the wifi module will ensure that prying eyes will not have access to your information.
- api 12y agoIt's a two tier world that's coming. Either you know your gear inside and out, or your gear knows you inside and out.
- zanny 12y agoWhat other option is there? Same could be said about how knowing the internals of your car, or your house, your plumbing system, your electrical connection, hell even your health all matter because not knowing means the providers / maintainers / engineers can take advantage of you. Caveat emptor doesn't go away with time. And I don't believe trying to use the hammer of legislation on the various hooks of businesses is an effective or even ethical way to try to "solve" it.
