I haven't turned on my television in five or six years

>>109763279
tv connects to your neighbors wifi through a backdoor and still watches you

>>109762714
my budget chinese TCL TV has more spies on it, I trust xi with it

>>109762714
So after this LG is gonna get cooked? This video can destroy company. Trust is something that is very hard to gain after being exposed like that

1) this has been said for decades by now
>muh i have nuttin to hide
2) it's your fucking fault if you are a consumer bot
3) This will only get MUCH MUCH MUCH worse with AI. And it's the same shit as above. People say this now and in 5-10 years we will have MUH BIG SCANDAL. Same shit as always. Fuck you
4) stop being a cringe movie faggots. Movies are melting your brain

>>109762714
Lets assume everyone is spying on you. Would you rather use mutt technology and let mutts spy on you, chinks use their technology and spy on you or dont use any technology at all?

Imagine all the CSAM screenshots they have saved.

>>109763547
>or dont use any technology at all?
I wish I could become the meme farmer and have no technology
There is not much valuable on the internet really

>>109763483
You didn't really say anything. Keep these navel gazing sessions to yourself and strongly consider euthanasia.

>>109763704
Again for you: We do know all of this shit for fucking ages and there is no reason to buy a fucking spy TV. Like zero.

Does Wumao Steve know that GMKtec mini PCs sold all over amazon and aliexpress have an active hidden microphone that you can't disable in the bios? As a PC hardware guy why doesn't he go after them? Sum ting wong?

>>109762714
Based Tech Jesus.

How many millions of hikvision and dahua spy cameras sending video and audio back to china? No 2 hour documentary Shanghai Steve? Why he speak chinese, spend many time in chinese taipei but no chinese investigation? Sum ting wong?

If this was the case Microsoft and Google would have been bankrupt years ago already. Normies don't simply care about these things.
And it's wrong to assume it's just LG, probably every single manufacturer does this malware network worm thing including Samsung etc.
AI will obviously make things even worse.

So is there a linuxTV yet? I just don't connect my TV to the Internet, but that's only going to work for so long; if they can put a sim card in a car they can put one in a TV. And TV viewing habits are probably more valuable to more people than who should have their insurance rates cranked up.

>>109763279
did you not watch the video?
it ALWAYS records even without an internet connection
sure you can blocks its internet connection in your router or whatever, but then whats the point of having a smart tv

I've owned the same 27" crt since 1998. It's hooked up to my ps2, my gamecube, and my dvd/vhs player.

>>109765298
there's no point. a TV ought to be nothing but a big monitor that happens to be good for movies.

Almost all smart TVs are Linux TVs. Thank Linus for not updating Linux's license to GPLv3.

LG was in hot water for a tamer version of this already a decade ago. All you can find from articles from that time is that "LG investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing". Unless you get governments to ban this shit, nothing will happen. Let's see if EUros can set a precedent to finally curb this shit.

Why is the channel even called gamer's nexus? There's no gameplay video, it's more on general tech consumerism and drama

>>109768716
because nothing interesting has happened in pc gaming/hardware in years
he discovered that "fuck ____ company" videos get way more engagement so that's now the primary focus

>>109763317
At this point I think my chink TV have less spyware. I still didn't allow it to connect to any network.

>>109768716
You can thank recent developments for that.
The PC builder / gamer world basically got bulldozed in the last couple months. The hobby got killed.

>>109768711
>Unless you get governments to ban this shit, nothing will happen
Why would they ban the shit they want to do themselves? They rather allow it for the privilege to get the data themselves

did this youtube guy doesn't know that all smart phone are like that?

that they spy on you 24/7 have internal chip that can be powered remotely while the smartphone has no battery? that smartphones have Firmware Over-The-Air option that can remotely on the fly update or revert parts of the smartphone firmware to allow for fbi or counter intelligence to turn the device in a surveillance end point?

>>109763795

No one but /csg/ anons even know what those are. Everyone knows LG.

>>109762714
what do you call this destruction of an otherwise decent product to maximize profits even if it will do reputational damage when outlined in terms normal humans can understand
if only there were a word for it

>>109763399
in the US, since you morons have linked together so many separate issues, this will not be banned for 20-30 years by which time there will surely be some other big brother in your house

>>109762714
Old news but at least he finally made a longform video that isn't 99% orange man seething for the first time in a year.

>>109772303
>Why would they ban the shit they want to do themselves?
Because they want to do it themselves, not compete with others.

My LG AC still works after 15 years, didn't even replace freon.
This is anti-LG propaganda.

Thank you based LG. Very cool. I appreciate you keeping an eye on my dumbass parents while they watch CNN and bitch about Trump 24 hours a day.

>My LG AC still works after 15 years
My samshit AC from 12 years ago also still works. The new one I bought 3 years ago stopped working last month.
The guy that does repairs told me to hold on to my old AC for as long as I can because everything from the last 5 years is complete shit

It doesn't matter if chinkshit spies on you because chinks won't do shit
Meanwhile all western companies and governments want to genocide the populace of their countries

>>109777930
What is stopping chinese selling your data like any western companies?
They pioneered the online surveillance culture, why do you think they won't try to profit from it?

you this is the shit thats what I am worried about and you fucking faggots complaining about shit like flock fuck no i like flock. The issue is THIS BULLSHIT. We have fucking laws against this sort of shit but the FCC doesn't do jack shit anymore or the ogvernment for that matter. We need to scare the living fuck out of these companies who lie about this bullshit. huge af fines. Don't even give a shit about AI data scraping either its THIS SHIT thats been going on waaaay before AI even mattered.

>>109765298
use an alternative but you are right. something should be done about this shit.

cancelled my c6 77' order

I'm about to get my first smartTV, just know i am ONLY watching this video because of this update to my life.

This is nothing at all. The 2010 was the beginning of the age of harvesting personal data. General reception to social media platforms gave corporations the okay to do this. Data is the now new currency. The hardware has become a loss leader. Why do you think luxury goods like smartphones, smart appliances are "cheap" when compared to hard assets despite the rampant inflation?

>>109768716
Aside from the occasional PC case being released there's no new PC hardware for a whole fucking year now...unless they want to review the RX 9050 or something.

>what's the point without internet
You still have a big OLED screen with good HDR, 120 HZ, VRR etc. You can still play vidya and watch movies on it. If you're the kind of fag that needs streaming services just use an external device. For firmware updates just use a USB flash drive
