Does LG now stand for 'Listening to Grandpa'?

…due to seemingly installing adware on PCs and telling you to warn guests they may be recorded by AI features, to comply with ‘wiretapping’ laws

    I have a LG oled tv and keep it off the internet because I keep hearing about crap like this

    I connect it occasionally because it has been pretty unstable and I hope that updates will resolve issues, but seems they are more concerned about updating ads etc than improving the system software

      So then you don’t keep it off the Internet, it would seem.

          Better than the alternative I suppose. I have never owned a smart TV but need a new TV soon. Not looking forward to the shopping experience for that.
