  1. Bei solchen Fällen frage ich mich unweigerlich: Wieso wird sowas nicht von @bfdi untersucht? Dürfen solche Geräte in Deutschland überhaupt verkauft werden in dieser Form?

    Ein Fernseher, der selbst im ausgeschalteten Zustand und ohne Netzwerkverbindung über Mikrophon Audio aufzeichnet dürfte in den seltensten Fällen auf "informed consent" also eine informierte Zustimmung des Nutzenden zurückzuführen sein.

  2. Holy heck. Dunno if this is true, but if so...

    "...An investigation by Gamers Nexus found LG smart TVs sweep local networks to map phones and nearby devices. Tests also showed the sets can capture microphone audio with the screen off — they then upload data once reconnected to the internet..."

    "
    LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devices
    "
    ".. TVs actively scanning the local area network for unrelated hardware, including phones and smartwatches .."

    ".. disconnected .. from Ethernet, the set continued saving voice input .. uploaded the stored files once network access was restored .."

  4. I have only seen the first 15 minutes of the new video by #GamersNexus ("216,000,000 Spy TVs | The LG Smart TV Problem") and oh boy this shit is scary. Watch it right now: youtube.com/watch?v=6IFVTcM28KA

    Wie kann das „legal“ sein? Was sagt die #DSGVO dazu das unsere Elektrogeräte uns ausspionieren? Ihr glaubt doch nicht das das ein reines #SmartTV Problem ist? JEDES Gerät das „Smart“ ist oder irgendwie Internet Zugriff hat macht das. Es ist nur noch nicht überprüft, LG ist nur die am besten analysierte Firma im Moment. Es gibt keine Privatsphäre mehr, wir werden 24/7 abgehört und ausspioniert. Gut das wir alle nichts zu verbergen haben 😜. Fuck #BigTech!!!!

  6. Oh lol, there it is.

    You should run yt-dlp on it, there's no way to tell if that video once again gets Bloomberg'd.

  7. My god, #GamersNexus is a treasure of investigative tech journalism and quite frankly their attempts at improving anything they can gives hope.

    If you have a TV (especially #LG or #Vizio), even if it isn't connected… unplug it from power. It sounds like it isn't safe even in this state.

    Make sure to jump to 9m 57s if the link doesn't do it, that's where the main info is.

  8. a company that feeds on customers' private data and sells it to third parties is now going to integrate AI chatbot into its smart appliances? yeah, that's a shocker.

    and calling it "Affectionate Intelligence" as cherry on top 🫠 theverge.com/2024/7/3/24191422

  9. Каждый раз узнавая что то новое о Linux чувствую себя догоняющим спортсменом в дружественной, но соревновательной гонке.

    Сегодня я совершенно случайно узнал, что существует #KDE Plasma для #SmartTV на #GNU / #Linux - Plasma Bigscreen адаптирующий интерфейс для работы на больших экранах. Я могу ошибаться, но кажется я не слышал не об одном дистрибутиве в котором он предустановлен.

  10. Panasonic’s New 2026 US TVs Come With Fire TV, Google TV, or Roku Built In
    allthethings.best/panasonics-n
    Panasonic is adding five new series to its US TV lineup, bringing QD-Mini LED, QLED, and multiple smart TV platforms into the mix while keeping its Z95B OLED as the flagship. The new sets cover a wide range of sizes from 32 inches up to 85 inches and run on Google TV, Fire TV, or Roku TV, depending on the model.

  11. #Ads and #tracking infiltrated #TVs. Now they're coming for #monitors.

    Ads and tracking have turned TVs into #privacy nightmares. Both are so widespread among smart TVs that I’ve written a guide for avoiding them. One recommendation in that guide is to use a computer monitor. But in recent years, monitors have become more capable of pushing ads and tracking users.

    Without more straightforward approaches from vendors, such as easily comprehensible privacy policies and avoiding inappropriate ads, monitors are dangerously encroaching into smart-TV-like territory.

    #LG monitors’ #McAfee ads

    LG lost some trust after a recent report that some of its monitors installed McAfee pop-up ads onto connected computers. Since at least 2024, some of these displays installed an app, LG Monitor App Installer, onto connected computers under the cover of driver updates installed through #WindowsUpdate.

  12. Why are all modern TVs using bluetooth for the remotes?

    We have enough problems with over-saturation of bluetooth signals in apartment buildings as it is without every livingroom having two bluetooth connections you can't turn off (TV box and smart TV).

  13. Es curioso que dos años y medio después de denunciarlo en mi blog estén ahora hablando en la televisión de la problemática de los menús de las #smartTV que dificultan simplemente ver la televisión en abierto

  14. "When using a smart monitor, you not only have to worry about what the monitor could be tracking, but also what the OS operator (such as Google for Android-powered smart monitors) and third-party app providers (such as Netflix) can track. That’s a lot of lengthy policy text to parse in order to understand what exactly your smart monitor is tracking and how that data may be used."
