    Just don’t let it connect to the internet then? I don’t trust any tv to connect directly to the internet at all. Ever.

    Anyone else make the switch to projectors from TVs as a primary way of watching media?

      I was considering it, but:

      too expensive (the good ones)

      too noisy

      requires canvas for good experience

      requires dark enviroment for good experience

      requires either wiring on ceiling/wall and drilling or extra furniture under TV (short throw)

      double power consumption over TV

      the only benefit really is the size, but nowadays you can buy 65-75" TV which is already pretty huge depending on your room, so I fail to see argument for projector unless you need super large screen which you intend to watch from big distance/outdoors in very late evening

    Does anyone have a set of domains/ips to piehole to prevent such information going out?

      Having watched the GamersNexus video, some tracking is done with DNS resolution requests to unique domains.

    Ouch, big brother.

    I have an LG TV screen. How do I know if I am infected? It is a few years old...
