You sit down to relax, put on your favorite show, and settle in for a night of binge-watching. But while you’re watching your TV… your TV is watching you.
Smart TVs take constant snapshots of everything you watch. Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.
Welcome to the future of "entertainment."
I watch TV through my computer using Jellyfin. Am I at danger?

I guess I'll stick with my 2012 Toshiba 55" dumb TV.
We probably have the same model - the one with the big oval stand. Every once in a while I wish it was OLED and/or higher resolution, but it's not worth the expensive or all the modern "features" such as these.

Just create a black hole network at your house and connect all 'smart' appliances to that. Block all traffic at the router level. This prevents them trying to connect to open mesh networks and also provides the benefit of cataloging all the traffic

No it’s not.
Still got an old Panasonic plasma from 2010 and it’s going strong.
But I am aware of the “wonders” of post-purchase monetization, which is how they’re printing out so many of these cutting edge OLED big screens for surprisingly low initial purchase prices

Where can I read about these mesh networks?
It's the same thing apple's Find My runs on. Devices bounce off each other like the fires of gondor

Other than your PC or Mac spying on you, you are in no danger.

Calm down, it's a TV.
We'll see how calm you are when your TV goes live on sky net and kills you in your sleep

At this point I'm just going to assume George Orwell was a time traveler. He's been right about everything so far.

even better we dont use tv anymore, just a PC.
Still gonna need a large screen somehow unless you watch all your stuff at the desk or through a laptop.
