LG TV flaws could let attackers listen in, even in standby mode

Sadly your correct. They sucked everyone in with these smart tv's. Streaming services All of them are in on it, from putting decided buttons on our remotes to Bill boards Ads in our homes so all of them can track,spy etc. The day of the tv's that couldn't do this are long gone.

People like to save money, so they bult some way of streaming in, to make people ditch their streaming devices and that also removes setup of these devices from the user's life. When they don't like to do that in the first place, who's going to say "No, that's OK, I have a Roku/Fire Stick/etc and will use that. For the little added cost (if it actually did cost more), it's a no-brainer. Another problem is that NOBODY reads the EULA completely and at this point, they're so long and elaborate that it might be best to run it past a lawyer before agreeing. My bedroom TV quit, so I went to Beast Buy to see what they had- my distributors don't have anything decent at the same price and when I found they were out of the model I had checked out the previous time in the store, I checked the 'Open Box' area- found a 32" Insignia with FireTV for $77. That's less than the middle of the line Roku streamer and that doesn't come with a TV.
