Once again DO NOT CONNECT YOYR SMART TV TO THE INTERNET

Do not do it. It’s not smart, it’s a spy device.

    Yup.

    I'm stuck with a smart TV, but it's from Pre-LLM days. I don't use the smart TV app or connect it to the web. I've also got the AI features ("Ad Personalization", etc.) turned off by default, just because it pleases me.
