Hacker reverse engineers his Samsung TV and finds on-device AI listening for your dog and baby, watching what you watch, and borrowing your soundbar’s mic if the TV doesn’t have one. Then OpenAI banned him for reverse-engineering it.

Is it confirmed to be only smart TVs? I have a Sony Bravia from 2014, which I’m very fond of as it has no smart features. I would like to think it isn’t spying on me somehow. If it broke, I’m not sure what I’d do. Maybe buy a CRT or something. All TVs are smart these days.
Figure out how to fix it.
When our Samsung TV “broke” it was just the backlight. New one cost me $10 on AliExpress… and a bit more for fuses because I am a dumb idiot.
Though I must wonder how trustworthy those AliExpress fuses are. Louis Rossmann did review some crappy Amazon car fuses that were as good as nails. I don’t have a PSU to test them.
Oh, and do something better to lift the panel. Even if it’s not too large to crack under its own weight, the LCD panel is still sharp. It WILL cut into your fingers. Again, I am a dumb idiot.
I love my 2010 Samsung tv and I too believe it’s not spying… does anyone know when the TVs went full predator mode?
Around 2018
This got me thinking about how smug I feel to have a clean tv but then I realize that my phone knows all and tells all to almost anyone. Hate it
