🦔Your LG TV records audio while the screen looks off, saves it locally if you unplug the internet, and uploads it the moment you reconnect. Gamers Nexus tested retail LG OLEDs with Level1Techs and security researchers and found the sets also scan your entire home network to map every device you own. LG Ad Solutions claims 363 million "secondary addressable devices" in the US from 216 million TVs sold. The extra 147 million are your phones, laptops, and watches. My Take I don't know how LG thought this was going to go over. A $2,000 television that works as a microphone when you think it's off, and queues the audio for upload if you cut the connection. Basically, it's a device designed to collect whether you want it to or not. I think if any other industry sold a product that recorded conversations in your home after you turned it off, there'd be a federal investigation by Tuesday. The researchers also found remote code execution bugs in webOS, and these TVs are in doctors' offices and law firms. So LG's data collection isn't even the worst case. Someone else could use the same access and LG wouldn't know. Unplug it from the internet and use a Roku or Apple TV for your apps. LG hasn't commented, which I think says plenty. Hedgie🤗
