Hasnt there been claims of the smart tv’s automatically connecting to open WiFi to update and or send data.
I don’t think this is real, but if it is can you provide a link? I’m not finding anything easily with a search and randomly throwing out claims like this is not productive.
That’s why I called it a claim, I never found evidence myself, it just wouldn’t surprise me if it was true.
So you’re just spreading misinformation.
I never stated it as fact, nor was it my attempt to have it come across as one. Just a rumor people have claimed.
I could have been more clear in that in hindsight.
There’s claims about this, connecting automatically to open wifi is a “feature” of Android, any smart bullshit based on android can have the same behaviour.
1 person posting on reddit isn’t enough for me to believe they didn’t simply misunderstand what happened. There are a lot of tech-illiterate people out there and if this was a thing I’m pretty sure we’d see people reproducing the results and posting procedures to do so.
Yeah I also don’t think this hold much water, even if the TV automatically connect to the wi-fi, turn the wi-fi feature on/off automatically seems unlikely.
Often needed with software updates for the TV itself.
