it interrupts me mid-show while streaming from my PC on bootleg streaming sites, with a pop-up BUILT INTO THE TV that says "We see you are watching [insert show title] from an unknown provider. Would you like to watch it from one of our recommended providers instead?". This shit is so fricking dystopian. I went through all settings and there's no way to turn it off. Isn't this actually illegal? It's taking screenshots of my PC activity and sending it to external servers without my permission. Can I sue?

i'll prove it next time it does it by taking a photo with my phone. my PC's screenshot button doesnt work since its the tv doing it.
pretty sure no smart device should be allowed to be on the internet. Can't you just run everything from your linux pc over hdmi, and have that be the only connection the tv has?
What is the brand and exact model of the TV?
This is exactly the kind of thing modern machine learning can do. Expect it to happen.
Hisense 58R6+ 55" 4K
Aside from spying on you, how is the TV? Costco has a 65" QD6 4k QLED for $399
Good for the price I guess idk really since I don't get to try a lot of TVs. It doesn't have motion smoothing built in and I wanted motion smoothing. Also its only 60hz i dont like that
>It doesn't have motion smoothing built in and I wanted motion smoothing
motion smoothing is shit, but I dont watch sports so maybe its worth it for that, i just dont like that soap opera effect it does on movies
>doesn't have motion smoothing built in and I wanted motion smoothing.
I hate people like you.
I always go over peoples houses and they're watching TVs like NPCs.
Then I tell them wait a second, pause it, menu, disable motion blurring. 9/10 go "lol I don't notice a difference" You're a subhuman of the highest order to want this feature. Ruins kino and turns it into a soap opera feel.
>getting mad at other people for being npcs while complaining about muh soap opera
you're just as bad. you don't understand the problem, you're only parroting what other people have told you
the problem with interpolation is that it causes artifacts, especially around scene changes
high frame rate video is objectively better than 24fps
it makes me feel like im there, instead of watching a 24fps slideshow
>Also its only 60hz i dont like that
If you are not playing games on the TV, is a 60hz TV okay?
You're a fricking troll.
fraid not. nothing good about 24fps slideshow
btw this one was only $199 since its old and theyre trying to get rid of it. Walmart
Is there no way to turn it off, like in settings or something? Maybe look for something like "customization settings" or something, I don't know?
Oh nevermind I didn't read your shit. You tried to turn it off.
Buy an Android TV or Nvidia shield thing or whatever-the-frick and plug it in as an external OS, or return the TV. Shit sucks.
This didn't happen, but even if it did
>Isn't this actually illegal?
it's much less illegal than using bootleg streaming sites so good luck explaining to the police what the problem is
>explaining to the police
Are you living in 2012? Police no longer talk to anyone unless you are currently in the process of being violently attacked/robbed. OP would have to file something in a small claims court at best and that's assuming he can't just return the TV. Privacy is not a constitutional right but OP's state might have a bullshit law somewhere that no lawyer would bother to address unless OP is himself a multi-billion dollar company/law firm, which he isn't.
>Privacy is not a constitutional right
What is the Fourth Amendment, homie?
Not a right to privacy
Yeah bullshit OP
What TV?
>sending it to external servers without my permission
Just don't connect it to the internet. Doubt it is taking screenshots but probably reading the DRM data from the file
Fricking hell I can never buy a modern TV because of ad bullshit and system updates. TVs should just turn on and display. I hate the future.
I remember when Washing Machines would...JUST FRICKING WASH YOUR CLOTHES.
Now my washing machine needs updates from Wifi, and has "automatic load balancing" that always ends with "unable to automatically balance load. please reach in and rebalance manually".
Old machines didn't give a frick if your load was unbalanced, it just...FRICKING WASHED IT
Buy a speed queen TC5 moron.
All high efficiency washing machines are shit and can't get sweat or bodily fluids fully cleaned out of clothes.
The TC5 is the only washing machine that is NOT certified high efficiency and works like the old ones do.
Zoomers dont know how to turn off not connect to wifi
LMAO
>Having to fight your fricking TV to get to work like a fricking TV.
bruh your stupid, just dont connect your tv to the wifi.
then it has no way to report or check these things.
solved.
If you buy an AndroidTV/GoogleTV you can literally debloat it with ADB
>so this extraordinary thing happens to me regulary
>no I don't have a single picture to prove it, b-because I just don't, okay?!
next time just get a 60" monitor and e2-based tv tuner. it's just linux and you have root.
why did you even connect it to the net
>bought scamshit
You deserve it. Buy from an actual good brand next time. (Hint: anything but Korean)
Smart TVs are a fricking scam. Just don't give it any internet. Though I'm pretty sure it will automatically connect if there is anything open around it.
>connecting tv to internet
you only have yourself to blame imbecile.
