I really hope one day people will look back at those practices the same way we look back at the normality of cigarettes being pushed on everyone back in the 50’s.
what about no. too many people are smoking today.
i mean, why wouldnt they?
life sucks, society sucks, world sucks, who wouldnt want to check out faster.
Because it’s excessively slow and painful.
yes, but its much more socially acceptable than putting a gun to your temple.
there are better ways for that. smoking just makes the rest of your life worse
But you look so cool.
there are better ways for that. smoking just makes the rest of your life worse
If you think it’s bad now, come on over and we’ll take my time machine to 1988 when I started. My friend taught me walking around the indoor mega mall.
If these tvs are capturing private conversations for advertising, where’s the consent for that?
EULA has T&C that the first users agree to when they fast forward with the accept accept accept accept screens
They don’t need consent, none do us can afford to sue them.
Isn’t that what class action law suits are for?
Or better yet, consumer protection laws?
Yep! If this would be a meritorious case, I’d bet lawyers would be salivating over it. There are also plenty of firms working for our collective good, pro bono. Witness Elias Law who is slam dunking voter rights cases, wins in state after state, not sure they’ve lost one.
wrt the former most t&c’s mandate forced arbitration to dodge class actions wrt the latter good luck getting consumer protection under this admin.
I just want a dumb TV at this point or an open source one that has great user control.
Used TVs are dirt cheap. Just buy one
Look AI code gets a ton of hate. And rightfully so. But you can use a coding agent to basically completely take control of hardware you own. It takes minutes.
Could you go into more detail for those of us who don’t want to brick their tv? I think you’re over estimating some of our knowledge base.
Was watching gamers nexus. Opened up codex. Gave it network permissions. It was able to fully take control of the TV in minutes. It even navigated to the admin panel and gave me the code to plug in. Very quickly had figured out some of the major API’s. In a half hour, I was able to get a container/ program set up to just “send” any stream I wanted to the TV without having to use any Samsung services. Then, scramble/ poison telemetry data/ advertising data. Whatever you like. None of it is worth publishing. But I wanted to control the TV I bought. The one I own. In my house. That I paid for. And I think its royally fucked up the world we live in that there are any barriers to that.
So, this all sounds completely plausible, but at the same time it also sounds totally crazy right! I mean that anyone could do that without actually knowing a lot about the specific system being compromised… Nuts.
I guess I’m just curious, how much experience do you have with writing software, reverse engineering or hacking? Because I just can’t wrap my head around how a layman could accomplish this. The possibility of being able to un-enshitify the devices we purchase is really very exciting.
I had the tv for ages and I basically never turned it on because it was so enshittified with their shit software anyways.
I do have experience with software and reverse engineering but it’s not what you think. It’s mostly trying to reverse engineer pin outs for old scientific equipment or rat tailed sensors that come from China with no documentation. Check my post history.
I didn’t need to do shit for the TV thing. I just finished watching the episode of GN and was like " well I’ve got a Samsung that’s basically a brick anyways because it’s so enshittifed, worst that could happen is it stays a brick.
What I found out is I don’t need to rewrite the firmware to take control. There are basically APIs for most things.
Just go try it.
There’s a repo with ready-made APKs for many TV models: https://github.com/Gathin23/cleanyourtv
And if your specific one isn’t supported, it has instructions how to do it with AI yourself
Oh cool, I’m sending that to my programmer wife to let her try if she’s interested when the Samsung TV version is out. I’m an engineer and thus not allowed to mess with the programming of anything shared.
I don’t want a smart TV… my TV should just be a display.
It should be a hub with a display.
Drink verification can!
This is why I have a Sony TV, it doesn’t listen to me of that I can garuntee. This is a shitpost, the TV is from 98 and weighs like 70 pounds.
I’m happy with my $200 non-wifiable Insignia and hope it lasts a long time.
Wow, that quote is pure gold.
Y’all think my 2017 is okay? 😬
It may not use ai but I’d be shocked if it wasn’t still collecting
It’s never been allowed internet access. I suppose it could be looking for open networks 😳
Had a Samsung from 2014 (iirc) that was absolutely collecting telemetry to feed supplemental ads.
I get those ads on the actual TV part, but I never use that part.
It’s also only had the internet once (that I know of) so the ads are comically old
Unregulated chaebols are just as dangerous as Kim Jong Un.
How do I find the camera to cover it?
I have a tv that I can easily connect to my linux laptop but which can’t connect to internet on its own. So it basically acts as a big computer screen. This way I atleast need to manage just one exit point.
