A reason NOT to purchase LG smart televisions

[ch33zw1z]

If your TV breaks you wont have a choice. They're pretty much all "smart" now.

Projector, here I come.

Are those safe still?

Or, I jsut won't put the TV on the network...

Its Obama's fault. The NSA inspired LG. :'(

Projectors are fine :biggrin: though there is a lot of retreat on that front. Mitsubishi is out of the projector market.

QFT, plus as IPv6 rolls out many devices will begin being connected that normally won't. The 'cloud' can turn dumb devices into very smart ones.

I can see it now. Fridge is on the network, you're watching the tv, all of a sudden a message pops up: "Don't forget milk and eggs, almost gone"

gaah!!

gaah!!

Except the message will be:

Don't forget to get in your brand new Kia Placenta and motor on down to your local Shop 'n Slave for a conflict free carton of Ovoid Eggs and a wet and wild half gallon of Mama Mammary's Mixed Mammal Milk!

"If it's got a teat, Sweet!"

That's going to happen. cater to the masses for acceptance.

Think about the simple door lock you will buy with a camera inside, a wireless chip and just a servo.

You approach the door and it uploads your face to the cloud.

Your Fridge will be screaming inside an empty home for weeks.
