Simple. Don’t buy a TCL television. If you do have one, or any other brand of “smart” TV then for gods sake do NOT connect it to the internet.
And even then, there have been smart TVs caught sniffing for same brand devices and open networks to connect to the web.
I’ve not heard of that… Got any links to articles about it?
Samsung did it, there was a Reddit thread where one users TV used a neighbours open WiFi to connect automatically
I'm only getting trash results now but there was an entire discussion on one of lemmys communities about tech safety and privacy and one user went into a lot of detail and provided articles on it.
I bought a Philips one. Turned off WiFi cause my mom doesn't use streaming much, and to get rid of those effing "accept cookies?" pop-ups. Every once in a while it suggests to connect to the network. 😑😑
We don’t do “smart” TVs. We set up our own systems.
