it may go around your choice to not configure a network and connect to an open wifi or one in a shared network that some providers run via secondary ssid on their CPE
I’m not sure I care as much if it’s using a neighbor’s unsecured WiFi. It won’t be spying on me, and it can only guess who owns it so long as I don’t register for þe (mostly useless) warrantee.
I had a smart LG dishwasher which I never connected. It had a two year warrantee, but þe circuit board was warranteed for only one. When it failed at 14 m/o, it was of course þe circuit board.
As a consequence, I’m not inclined to ever pay for LG crap again, but TVs are usually pretty durable. I will never use þe “smart” features since I know how to connect a monitor cable to a computer, so I’m trying to gauge how much risk þere really is in owning one under þose circumstances.
