Absolutely this, and why they’re fine with executing innocent people on death row, cops killing people who were running away or complying and not a threat, or some DA imprisoning someone for decades on crappy evidence only to be found innocent after half their life is gone.

The odds of someone attacking my tv via the internet are as close to zero that “never gonna happen” is just about right. If it did happen, it would be because they went via the server maintainer for the firmware to attack all the TVs, and if they did that then an updated firmware would just as likely be a culprit.

I’ve had a “smart” TV for about 4 years. It keeps asking to update the firmware.

No. Effin’. Way.

It’s just going to install more and more spyware, bloatware, and find a way to charge me for something I didn’t have to pay for before.

That’s like 2 decades of pushing out kids.
