Last thing I need is the smart TV sexting with the toaster.
To quote Pinky and the Brain, 'But what would the children look like? ;-)
Man, don't get me started on smart TVs! I think I posted something on, IIRC, LG's TV division made more money on selling the data harvested from smart TVs THAN THEY DID ON SELLING THE EFFING TVS IN THE FIRST PLACE!
And sadly, it's getting much harder to buy a non-smart TV. If I ever end up with one because of the inability to buy a dumb one, it will NEVER be connected to the internet, and I will continue using my Apple TV device for streaming what I want to watch. Apple has demonstrated that they're much better at keeping user info private as they are not a company devoted to selling things like Amazon or selling advertising like Google. Once you buy the device and start streaming with it, they are happy.
