      Had a Samsung from 2014 (iirc) that was absolutely collecting telemetry to feed supplemental ads.

        I get those ads on the actual TV part, but I never use that part.

        It’s also only had the internet once (that I know of) so the ads are comically old

        It’s never been allowed internet access. I suppose it could be looking for open networks 😳
