  • In any scenario the brand of smart TV is irrelevant as thet all impair your privacy. Cost and effort are sadly now a feature, but not too much of a challenge. Never connect your TV to the internet directly. The easiest step is a Chromecast. I recently needed to replace my dumb TV with a smart TV. For me I just bought a TV at a price point that allowed me to also buy a used old PC box plus a wireless keyboard a touchpad. You could alternately use a Raspberry Pi. Either way, you ultimately have control of what is shared or escapes for your privacy.



  • If we use the analogy of a bar fight. There is an ongoing brawl between two partues. One of the combatants is for reasons now jabbing punches at another person in the pub. Perhaps pre-emtively in case they might think of helping out the other guy. The other drinkers nearest the brawl have their own views, to be determined. The self proclaimed bouncers from the bar next door, but with interests here too, have made some supportive comments. Will these bouncers be wanting to enter this bar, at this time and either cool things down all round, or mind the back of their pal. Most people just want to get on with their own thing but worry that they’ll be caught up in a brawl.
