mead107 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I am siting in front of the TV giving them the finger. What do you think? They are watching me in my underwear. Feel bad for them. I will now have to watch TV with my Bills PJs on.

mead107 Posted March 7, 2017 Author Posted March 7, 2017 Thanks for moving this. Put it in the wrong spot.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 There is an episode about this in Dark Mirror on Netflix.
Chef Jim Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 What's happened to me way to often is when I google something it auto-fills exactly what my wife and I were talking about. STOP LISTENING TO US!!

/dev/null Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 This should be outlawed, at least until they add the feature of Smellovision so that when they watch me, I can fart in their general direction
GG Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 This has been the collective response to the leaked hack.
Deranged Rhino Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 This has been the collective response to the leaked hack. What does the fool do when he hears the truth? He laughs.

Azalin Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Some smart TVs have Skype capability, so that means it has a microphone and a camera, like tablets, laptops, and smartphones do. If you're online with your TV, then others have back door access capability. As long as you turn your device off there is no way - as far as I know - that anyone can either access your devices or use them to spy on you.

The Wikileaks drops talks about programs that make the TV appear to be off but it's actually on (or its mic and camera at least) -- and they can turn the device on or off at their leisure.

Then it's important to remember that we're only talking about smart televisions, not regular flat screen TVs. If they have such capability, you should still be able to defeat them by turning off the TV at the power strip or by simply unplugging the power cable from the wall.

I think it was the Philadelphia school system that got caught doing this years ago with laptops they gave to students. You have to believe that, if it's within the ability of a city that once bombed itself, the NSA can probably manage it.

Or just park a big bag of ammonium nitrate and a barrel of fuel oil in front of it. You'll find out pretty quickly if you're being watched.

The company I work for use our laptops to watch us, but to what extent they do so I don't know. I'm not sure how effective it is, but I have several pieces of electrical tape placed over my microphone ports and camera. Big phone is watching me....
