@misty Wait, modded how? I currently have an old second hand pre-smart-TV-era TV but I will need to upgrade someday 🙃
@daisy It's apparently possible to install homebrew software on the LG TVs to customize how the firmware works, turn off certain software, etc
@daisy In this case my wife installed it so she could disable all of the data collection stuff and basically turn off all the harmful smart features without *fully* disconnecting it from the network. We like to have it connected on the LAN so we can let Home Assistant automate it, but we don’t want it talking to LG’s services. If you don’t care about that, you can always choose not to connect it to wifi at all.
