        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.

          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.
