Ooo, free Internet on a hacked TV?

I bought my tv at a store last year. Ill throw it through their fucking window if this shit happens. Mine has never been connected to the internet and is in demo mode.

Or they could start putting 3G/5G radios in them like cars do.

Or doing what auto MFG’s do, add low bandwidth cellular service so they can directly get telemetry if you don’t give it internet. I don’t know if the economics of it scale with the TV price points, but they’d just bake that into the price and people would be unwittingly buing their own surveillance/ad machines anyways (like new phones, computers, etc.).
