    Continue to never buy LG products again?

    Gotcha. The advertising works, i guess…maybe not how they wanted to, though lol

      Oh, they do have products without all that shit. They offer large screen monitors that are basically their TVs without the “smart” part.

      My next TV will be either a business/signage monitor or a computer monitor.
      At least something without any connection outside. No network, no anything.
      At most something like a Chromecast or similar.

          You can still set up your own HTPC in your living room and configure it yourself.
          And there are more solutions like from Apple (but they absolutely fucking track you as well) or other streaming box/stick solutions I am not aware of.
          Unsure how good an Nvidia Shield is in regards to privacy. Your best bet for privacy is probably to just build your own solution on Linux.

            Nvidia is huge on producing AI and is certainly data-hungry. Without actually knowing, I would bet it’s about as bad as anything else. Since all your data is passing directly through their servers it’s trivial for them to do whatever they want with it.
