    I totally believe this kind of thing could happens, but I’d expect broader outrage if it were.

    When I set up my LG tv it wanted to show promoted content on the Home Screen and the screensaver.

    I never connect my TV to the internet. People jerk saying they add wireless modems to them but in reality they don’t have to, most prime leave all the telemetry and “AI” features enabled.

      Look up Amazon’s “Sidewalk” network. They don’t need your internet. They have your neighbors internet.

        Wrap the sides and back in metal net so it becomes a faraday cage in those directions blocking waves (only half joking? idk if this’d work)

          WiFi bounces, and can take multiple paths. Won’t work.

              I too, like to buy a brand new 8K OLED TV just to watch it through a microwave door.

                If you’re lucky, the mesh interferes with its internal electronics and you’ll have a new grill, too!
