This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
If you want a serious mind fuck read "stand On Zanzibar" a science fiction novel from 1969.
One of the things that the writer predicted was Mr. & Mrs. Everywhere, a gimmick where your TV would insert your family into advertisements.
The novel is full of other, equally accurate predictions...
The TVs are reporting a lot of anger. Add more cameras!
"Gee, boss. Says here 87% of viewers were angry with the TV for spying on them."
Are there any TV manufacturers out there that do great screens like the lg ones, but without all the rest of the bullshit?
We are in the market for a huge TV soon, and we were looking at the lg oled Evo. However I don't really like rewarding bad behaviour, so if there's any others you can suggest then suggest away...
So glad I haven't got a LGtv, I'd have to buy a sledgehammer as well.
Ahw fuck, wasn't LG like the last reasonable tv brand out there?
What should invuy if i want a new good 4K TV?
I got a Samsung TV a couple of years ago. I use it with a Roku. It's not on my network. I'll keep it until it stops working because I think eventually TVs will refuse to work without an Internet connection.
They'll have to pay for the cellular connection themselves because I'm not gonna enter my wifi password into the tv lol. Been using a pc hooked up to the screen for ages. Screw "smart tv" features, slow and inconvenient as hell.
The inconvenience creared by their greed. You buy a tv, a PC, internet and a netflix sub but you cant watch full (shite) resolution unless you are in a native app.
Piracy is the way forward.
I see a lot of concern in this thread that future TVs would just peer-to-peer or cellular connect to do their dastardly functions. Wouldn't this be preventable by putting a fine wire mesh around the box on the rear of the panel? Sure, the signal could still go out through the panel, but that's bound to incur a lot of interference from the panel itself, right?
Chances are they'll have some antenna line going to the edge of the TV. The box on the back of the TV already has a bunch of shielding over it inside. If you were to go to the trouble of opening the TV to find it, you may as well disconnect the antenna and ground it so there's no chance of a signal.
umm guys this isn't a news article, it's a Black Mirror episode
Cool one more reason I’ll never connect my display to the internet.
Hell yeah. Emotionally raping people is super ethical
