The link has a ton of information.

Now, It is obvious that putting it completely offline is more safe. But, some people often use the TV’s to watch Netflix or something like that. Then they might forget that it is still connected to the internet when they are done watching.

      It is good advice, but tell that to the old people that want to watch YouTube on a big screen lol. And they don’t have another device.

        Why do you have a big screen if you don’t watch anything on it? Am I old if I don’t want to kill my neck holding an anxiety rectangle in front of my nose?

              Obviously that would help to be completely offline. A side note-there are city security cameras right outside my house. It makes you wonder about tech that possibly could see through walls. You won’t be able to hide at all soon. There will be cameras everywhere you look. Especially in the cities.
