LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devices

I have a Samsung TV that I suspect does this. Once upon a time (back when I was less knowledgeable about this practice) I connected my TV to the internet. I have since been totally I able to forget my network from the TV, even a factory reset didn't wipe the network settings from it. I've had to block it from the network at a router level.

I only discovered it was still doing this when I got a new router, and I had a popup on my TV saying "software update downloaded and complete" and I was wondering how tf it did that even though I'd gone through the process of forgetting the network, and seemingly the settings showed it had been "done".

Shady fucks.

Jon Stewart's Debate Analysis: Trump's Blatant Lies and Biden's Senior Moments | The Daily Show

First of all- I agree concerns about both their ages are very much valid here but hasn’t Biden had a stutter from a very young age and struggled with it most of his life? Surely we should cut the guy some slack here?

That said, of course there won’t be slack. Political debates (especially one of high stakes as this one) are cut throat and no one has room for error.

I wouldn’t hold your breath. He’s been promising it for a while, but nothing has come to fruition. I don’t blame him one single bit though, he is a single dev working on all these awesome projects and I just wish he’d be a little more realistic with how many projects he can actually keep up in the air.

I feel something as important and critical as an E2EE messenger would need someone watching it round the clock- it’s not a sort of release and forget thing is it
