thanks to @dne for sharing it with me
this shit is why i do not ever configure network access on 'smart' appliances
Peter Bindels@ariadne Same.
Appliances can connect to my computer systems in my home, or not at all. And for some reason nobody makes them with an API for me to connect with, so I guess they're not getting a connection.
Klaus Frank@ariadne well at least you've plausible deniability for anything that relies upon IP logging...
Ity Kitty [unit X-69]@ariadne my TV does not need to have a computer in it, it only needs to be a big screen with speakers that has an HDMI cable plugged in. I do not want that computer in there, get it out (even if it is funny to scroll thru the software license listing and guess how their thing works. Seeing Mesa and Android components listed on the same TV is wild. Or seeing a random project I contributed to listed.)
Angela Scholder@ariadne This is why I never wanted a 'smart' TV, but why we just bought a 'big' monitor (32" might be debatable as big) when our old CRT wide-screen TV died.
As extra I needed a HDMI switch to select either the SatPVR or the Blu-ray player as source. And audio is going via the audio amplifier and speakers.
Currenly cameras are in the home network, but it's not something I'm happy with.
I need to work on the cabled network, and then there will be a separate IoT network.
nicole mikołajczyk@ariadne not the best reason because if you simply don’t install random shit on it you won’t end up sharing your network with scrapers and cybercriminals

MacCruiskeen@ariadne Saying 'no' to 'smart' appliances also an option.
