    Very much unrelated but I recently read samsung’s smart monitor/tv privacy policy and it says they can record EVERYTHING you do on it and devices connected to it including programs or games you use and you can’t opt out of this short of foregoing smart features (except screen casting) altogether. There’s also an option (that doesn’t look optional in their ui) that lets them automatically process that data.

    I’d heard those things were ridiculous but didn’t imagine this much

      Does that mean they don’t (or can’t) steal information when you’re screen casting?
