What???! People loved Regan. We saw him get shot in the lung and he did a great speech after.

To watch YouTube or Netflix, lol, is that new to you? I don’t do it but more people do than you think.

Visit a random granny 1000 miles away for a $100 job lol, sure. Much easier to explain how to reduce data being sent back.

Every person does not do this. They will still use it for the apps on the TV.

I didn’t say it stops all of it, it reduces it.

Oh yea? Tell that over the phone to the old granny that lives alone to do that. People like that have no idea how to. Not everybody is that tech savvy.

Most will keep using smart TV’s on the internet. It is helpful in reducing the data sent back.

You are clearly ignoring everything I just said. Even another person explained it and you are still oblivious.

This post was for the people that didn’t know that data was being sent back, and how to help reduce it. Not everybody is going to keep their smart TV offline forever.

READ!

Exactly. He still doesn’t understand, apparently, we are talking clearly and he isn’t getting it. It is like trying to talk to a flat earther or some shit.

Holy shit, dude. This post was for the people that didn’t know that data was being sent back, and how to help reduce it. That is the whole point! Not everybody is going to keep their smart TV offline forever.

Not all people just plug in a device for things like Netflix. They just use a TV to consume content. And you brought up the devices. That is all I was saying in our conversation.

Correct.

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.

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.

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.

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.

True, it is more secure with a secondary guest network. But I doubt it stops data from being sent back in this case. A strong Wi-Fi password is always recommended too with a guest network.

I still got a 720p TV, LOL!

Often needed with software updates for the TV itself.

People connect them to the internet to use YouTube or something, and then just forget that it is still online. This is for those people who are unaware. And a smart TV can still be hacked while disconnected from Wi-Fi, that is obviously harder to do.
