    Breach of OpSec... by your TV

    I haven't confirmed this, just came across it elsewhere...


    Be careful what you say in front of your Samsung TV. It's listening to you!!.

    Many Samsung "SmartTVs" come equipped with voice recognition, which allows you to bark commands at your TV. Since the television is always listening for your voice, Samsung has warned its SmartTV customers that every word is being captured and sent over the Internet.

    In their privacy statement and in their warnings in the fine print it says "Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party through your use of Voice Recognition," Samsung posted in its SmartTV privacy policy.





    Okay, that's pretty creepy.


    And upon further reading..... the camera is also sending pic's to third parties....

    So much for the late night snuggle on the couch.
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

    Saw that. 3rd parties, I.e. NSA
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    Need to do some research on LG's. Also, our department has installed a lot of monitors in conference rooms at work. I'm sure they would not want to broadcast the stuff that goes on.

    If anyone finds some links please post them up.

    We dream about getting AT&T internet. Our internet really sucks. It's satellite internet, and 15 ft from the router, my iPad says it's not connected to the internet because no wireless can be found. And the air printer we were forced to buy due to Apple won't recognize it, as the signal is too weak. Then these is a data limit, so don't even go there. Lol

    Okay, you can't bitch about your internet speed until you post your results to this test. It is actually fast today. It is usually around .3mbps.

    Down here since we live on the military base all of our houses are connected constantly. They just cant get access because they dont have the special router to decrypt the signal or something like that. All I did was splice into my neighbors as well as my own since they didn't use theirs. Since my router keeps demanding 25mbps from 2 separate circuits I guess it is doubling it. A friend of mine tipped me onto it and did all the wiring stuff for me so if I sound vague I apologize. I'm not sure I understand it myself.

    This was the first time I ever tested the speed. I figured all I got was a little faster because of having a double connection so less resistance. Kind of like electricity, better flow through more contact.

    I was nice though and gave the neighbors the password since we could both technically get in trouble.
