SwiftOnSecurityWhen people trust computers, what they are really doing is trusting programmers.
Which we all know can never be trusted.
Justin Derrick@SwiftOnSecurity What's the meme about software devs not having any smart devices in their homes, and keeping a gun next to the printer?
I'm one of them. The closest I've ever gotten is a 'Smart TV' that's never been connected to the internet, not for a moment. The only reason I haven't filled the Ethernet jack with epoxy is because I might want to jailbreak it one day.
Coyoty@JustinDerrick @SwiftOnSecurity You know they can connect wirelessly, right?
@coyoty @SwiftOnSecurity My model purposely doesn't have WiFi or Bluetooth. It was optional, I opted for "Hell no."
@JustinDerrick @SwiftOnSecurity They don't remove the capability, they turn it off. It can still connect. It's still scanning for signals including wake-on-LAN.
@coyoty @SwiftOnSecurity It was offered as a USB dongle, not 'pay to play'. This TV is just over 10 years old.
... or are you trying to social engineer me into disassembling my TV? :D
@JustinDerrick @SwiftOnSecurity If that's something you would do, I think you would do it without manipulation.
@coyoty @SwiftOnSecurity I feel like you know me a little TOO well. 😜​
