    If those people are unaware, then make them aware. Telling them to disable telemtry instead of taking them offline completely is simply bad advice.

      Turning off those features still help. That is why I posted, so some are aware… People have smart TV’s to use the internet. That is kind of the whole point of having them. Most people just don’t disconnect their TV from the Wi-Fi every time they are done streaming. Which, that would be a GOOD IDEA idea.

        You’re making them aware of the wrong things, as I just finished saying.

        People have smart TV’s to use the internet

        They can still use the internet without connecting their TV to it. You just plug another device into it.

          I know what a TV does, smart TV’s enables more features when it is online. SOME people just have a smart TV and that is it.

              Yes they do! People for sure just have smart TV’s, and they have tons of apps when connected online. Load up Netflix and then they are done. Old people especially, do it all the time. That is all they use. That and probably just a phone. Shit, some still have landlines. They live alone and had somebody set it up for them.

                Are my comments just invisible to you? Plug in another device and use it to load up Netflix.

                  You are the one not understanding that every person doesn’t think like you. Some just have a TV and a phone connected to Wi-Fi, that is it. I service houses for IT reasons, I know what I am talking about. I see it all the time.

                    I don’t understand what any of that has to do with anything? This has nothing to do with “the way I think”. If they don’t have one, they can get one, just like they can change their privacy settings?
