LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devices

Back in the 90's we had designated computer desks, where the big ass CRT and big ass desktop PC lived. Most people would use a surge protector power strip with a master power switch, and they would use that one switch to turn on and off the CRT monitor, PC, printer, desk lamp, etc..
That seems like a great idea right about how.
