Welcome to the modern world, friends. Where you can't buy a new TV without it recording your every word and uploading it to unspecified '3rd parties'.

How crazy would i look if i wrapped my TV in tinfoil so it couldn't connect to anything?

First the CoD thread and now this? C'mon maddy, you can do better than that.

Disconnect it from WiFi.

Solved.

Crank up the Trololo. It's what I do to telemarketers.

I blow wind into the speakers headphone. REALLY LOUDLY.

How many people aren't gonna do that, though?
It's one thing for us to do it, but what about normal plebs who enjoy the smart features?

They're going to leave it on and have their conversations and even the bloody camera recorded and uploaded. And let's give big companies like Samsung the benefit of the doubt and assume they're not using that data in a bad manner (pfft), what happens when these easy to hackify systems are hacked and used to upload nudes or steal passwords or other confidential information?

Surely you guys are seeing the problem here, right? Everyone already suspects their cell/mobile phone, but who the hell suspects the TV?
