Its an old LG, but given the recent light on the lengths they’ll go to spy on us, I figured this guy was better off without any ability to even connect wirelessly. Don’t know if the Ethernet still works but I plan on keeping my TVs as dumb as possible, HDMI only.
If you’re wondering how to open lg TVs you just have to remove all the screws then start pulling open at the bottom and open the clips going up. With the TV face down on a soft surface just keep pulling on the back case from the bottom, it’ll take some effort to pop open. The top edge folds open more like a hidge than clips.
fucking printers. also tire pressure monitoring systems. if i were an evil corporation i would use TPMS to communicate
Also some ISPs will run public networks off of your hardware if you’re renting the modem.
our city (with good intentions) set up public hotspots all over town so people without internet at home could use free wifi during lockdowns. now half the town’s tvs probably update over them.
