How can someone write an entire article about this without any mention of how totally creepy it is.
My LG had an update last week that made me re-do all the user agreements. I don't know if that has anything to do with this. As always, I opted out of most of the agreements, but (as always) there are 2 agreements I cannot opt out of and still use any apps.
So...what set-top boxes are available for privacy minded people?
I believe LG’s unfucked TVs are marketed as commercial TVs [1].
The next time I buy a TV, I'm building a Faraday cage around it.
How far will people let this go just to save a few bucks on a big TV? I'd just rather not have a TV at all. I imagine the next thing will be webcams that analyze your expressions to get your true emotional reaction to everything. People will still be fine with this if they can get a 75 inch TV for $150.
I don’t give my tv internet access and use apple tv and an hdmi cable. Works fine.

How does it do at detecting the emotion of being incredibly angry the TV I paid good money to OWN, is wasting my time, power, bandwidth, screen space and patience pushing ads I don't want at me? That emotion is so intense it should be easily detectable from orbit.
