Re: I was going to look at a Samsung 50" TV - to buy one today, in fact.
I don't know where you get that I find this acceptable when I explicitly said I didn't and offered workable solutions against it. I doubt you're doing your utmost to inoculate yourself from third party data collection yourself if only because our modern economy makes it nearly impossible. If you already own a smartphone ones concern about their TV's data collection is merely performative. This is why we need real consumer privacy laws, as the only alternative left to us is just not using the internet.
Which is fine, too, I can just unplug the ethernet cable from my TV and it still works. Sadly I need the iPhone for work.
