Every major tech major brands and business, even cars like BMW and now also TVs like Samsung or LG are all spying on their customers. And why isn't this forbidden by lawn already?
So the data is still captured every 500ms. But it batches the data together and indeed only send data of around 8kb every minute back to the centralized server. But 8kb can not be full screenshots of MBs of course, so this is some kind of meta / fingerprint data. The original author (Jeremy Hsu) is misleading here with the term "screenshot every 500ms".
the remaining scenarios exhibit consistent peak values occurring every minute, accompanied by additional smaller traffic one minute following each peak. Samsung’s official documentation (Canada, 2022a) mentions that its ACR captures the frames every 500ms, suggesting that Samsung batches the captures as well and sends the fingerprints every minute. The differences in ACR capture frequency explains the different network behavior across the two brands.
Forgetting a network is only when your wifi is password protected. If the TV can find an open wifi access point, it could just automatically connect to the internet. "Forgetting" a network doesn't help here..! Since there is nothing to forget (there are wifi points without password). But it should be forbidden IMO to automatically connect to these kind of access points. But even your mobile phone might do the same thing.
Yes somebody did mention Debian Sid, which is Debian unstable. Which is maybe even more up to date (I still don't consider it rolling release, because there will be a package freeze, if not multiple).
yea correct. This app seems to be interacting with Invidious. Keep in mind that Google is changing their videos to embed ads soon in their video streams.
It automatically connects to unprotected wifi access points.
