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.

If it broke, I’m not sure what I’d do.

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.
