Dang, I want to upgrade my TV for christmas, and was thinking of a nice 65" OLED Samsung, as the "hospitality" TVs of the same size with OLED are like twice the price. I don't have open WIFI, I use a computer and just the TV as a display, I thought I'd be OK. But I have a soundbar as well, so it'll be listening to me regardless? Jesus fucking christ. The future we've built is terrible.
