Boris!!!

Typically these folks use standard redaction software. Has anyone explored the fact that the software is just a buggy, silly mess?

Love this. I guess I need to build the happy Gilmore meme audio now. “Welllll?!!! We’re waiting!!”

I was imagining the Jeopardy theme.

Wouldn’t smart TVs that didn’t spy on you also be awesome? Seems like a knowledge gap to me. This gets solved as soon as people realize what’s happening. Right now they don’t realize TVs are cheap because of the ad subsidy.

Do you have a nice 65” OLED monitor option with solid display settings supporting Dolby modes, etc I can examine? I tried to find one and nobody is selling.

Not 65" but for a really large picture I just use the HDMI input on the smart TV sans internet and it's fine (also the TV makes a good large monitor). Works well on the projection monitor too.

For now maybe? Consumer protections are at an all time low at the moment. Your exact argument about “we all know this just nobody cares and stop whining” is exactly what will be cited if you attempt to take action if they brick your device.

That does tell me why Paxton brought this suit. Either that or somebody is trying to blackmail him over something he watched.

Isn’t that also we got only consumer protection law we have? Somebody leaked the video rental history of a senator etc.

This is an excellent idea.

While this is certainly possible, I’d imagine this sort of thing would be found quite quickly and would result in a massive lawsuit if not disclosed on the package.

Pretty sure that’s why this lawsuit will have some legs - the deceptive way folks are opted in without really understanding what is happening.

I’m shocked to be agreeing with Ken Paxton but he’s right on this one.
