It's really that bad. Just ordered a smart TV knowingly that it's going to spy on me. I will never connect it to the internet and just to be sure, I will try to disable the microphones physically. At this point I believe that it will still try to connect to open wifi's in my neighbourhood. Can't be paranoid enough these days.

    It can also connect to other devices that do have WiFi connection via Bluetooth, best thing you can do is remove the antenna (writing this down, it makes sense the remote control that has Bluetooth and a mic will do it too)

    Probably true, even if not the best quality. Anyway, perfect shouldn't be the enemy of good.
