Its an old LG, but given the recent light on the lengths they’ll go to spy on us, I figured this guy was better off without any ability to even connect wirelessly. Don’t know if the Ethernet still works but I plan on keeping my TVs as dumb as possible, HDMI only.
If you’re wondering how to open lg TVs you just have to remove all the screws then start pulling open at the bottom and open the clips going up. With the TV face down on a soft surface just keep pulling on the back case from the bottom, it’ll take some effort to pop open. The top edge folds open more like a hidge than clips.
i guess i wanted it to phone home on my fake internet? i am not the word good today, it is rehearsal day and i am thinking about music
It would be doing that, but it would also be trying to connect to any open WiFi available. Your neighbors xfinity modem that broadcasts their open public WiFi. Phones with hotspots. Anything it can, it will try to connect to. If it can’t make it out through that channel, it logs all that info to send when it can.
You would need to know how to answer it how it wants. Which is hard to do since it’s all sent encrypted.
okay, one of us needs to get LG’s pgp key so we can all do this thing…
