> All LG televisions are maintaining a dossier on you and transcribing everything you watch and everything spoken within earshot
These things seem like something we should be responding to with such an extreme disgust response that it's denominated in drone strikes.
Like having a shower liner installed that comes with A Guy With A Peephole who permanently lives in your bathroom now, and that's just something people tolerate. "Switch to tile if you don't like it", they say. No. Sometimes the appropriate response to audacity is to choose violence. It is an implied deterrent against sufficiently offensive antifeatures that nobody has bothered banning them. I shouldn't have to specify that I don't want it, the operating system is just not supposed to be in the business of pushing ads on me, the television is not supposed to be in the business of wiretapping me. These would have been banned long ago if they were known and if we had a functional government.
That guy living in the shower liner is getting disassembled with a Sawzall with extreme prejudice, and frankly that is not sufficient.
