Things will become more obscure and harder to disable. In fact since you own nothing and you’ll be happy, youre damaging government property and the police are already dispatched to take you to a totally cool and totally legal prison slave camp.
Nah they won’t send the cops, you just gotta drink a verification can
I thought that greentext was so outrageous when it first appeared, and now its probably going to be reality at some point.
Youtube asking you to say the brand name or the jingle to skip the add. You heard it here first
I’ll go down swinging with my hoarded DDR3 sticks
Remotes aren’t complicated enough to hide the microphone. It’s more likely that tvs ditch the remote entirely and be voice controlled only, mute people be damned.
If you want to know
allsome of the ways your audio can be spied on.Benn Jordan on audio spying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEC6PM97IRI
He, surprisingly, did another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5ynZ3lMQJc
Do people here still have their smartphones or are these things the first on the microphone hitlist?
GrapheneOS my brother
Yea, im stuck with not flashable phones sadly amd everytime i read something on here I get kinda sick
The Pixel 9a is getting cheap and looking for them on the used market is even better, do yourself the favor and get one!
my shitphone, I mean iphone is really pissed that the case (water resistant) I have blocks mic, and well the audio as well lol. And the aluminum tape on the cameras makes it glitch up so much.
based setup
I think ill just jeep using my LCD from 2007
Yeah, that’s probably the smart move
Or just buy a cheap 3rd party off brand universal remote. Dont have to use the one that comes with the TV
No, you’re all getting it wrong.
Collect books, and use the microplastic that you have ingested over the years to build a water-tight caccoon in a cave to protect them.
Everything else simply requires rocks and/or genitalia. Or the absence of rocks and/or genitalia.
Such is a way.
Anyone know when this started becoming ominous? I’m sure every TV in the sixties didn’t have a microphone on their remotes; I am sure pretty much each one being released today has.
Just curious, what kind of batteries are powering the remote and if rechargeable, how often does it need charging? Not saying they wouldn’t do such things, still a good preventative measure, but I’d be surprised if it could sustain telemetry with only the power of AAA batteries in a typical remote.
Two AAA batteries and they weren’t changed in a year so yeah, ouch.
Another solution is to cover the mic with some thick gum that can be easily removed. Then it can be sold as it was later.
Why would anyone want to buy your used gum?
You just remove it when selling the remote?
Sell the gum, toss the remote
It’s so f’ing simple. JUST DON’T CONNECT YOUR TV TO YOUR WIFI. Get your streams from a separate device.
tossed mine in the trash when i learned it wanted a bluetooth connection to the tv
Is it really as much of a privacy problem as TV microphones? After all wouldn’t the battery die?
Well this remote is connected to the TV via Bluetooth and the mic is super energy efficient so yeah, to hell with it
Uhh, did you remove “n2” or “m4” lol?
I removed N2! N1 was the chip for the mic or something.
“Nx” is usually a resistor “n”etwork. The mic is probably something else, it could be the M designators or even a “t”ransducer.
Anyway you may find that the remote uses a bunch of mics. Once you’re no longer trying to catch sound in a way that will be discernible to human ears it can become an order of magnitude cheaper to send several fraction of a cent mics into the 69 dsp channels every fucking soc has nowadays. You’re getting the silicon for free, might as well use it.
What? Because I have to Open my control, I understand almost nothing about technology. Don’t tell me it has a chip that controls ever
