commanderNewly purchased Vizio TVs now require Walmart accounts to use smart features
So Vizio is offering dumb TVs without Walmart accounts? I am actually kind of interested.
it’ll still be listening and spying.
Some devices connect to any open wifi to send analytics. Some devices even have their own modem to always be connected.
Not sure about the “modem” thing, always has worried me though. You mean like an LTE chip?
Guess I don’t think about the open network thing because:
Nobody, not even router makers, deliver open network by default anymore
I don’t have any other wifi signals in my area other than my own
