      Samsung just can't seem to figure this game out recently. Now their trust known MAC addresses "feature" has been shown to make the televisions vulnerable.

            Eh. the fact that this is turned on every time the TV is powered is mind boggling as well.

              I wonder if they saw Lenovo getting away with this sort of shenanigans with computer firmware and decided to put it in their "smart" TVs?

                  It's sad that getting a simple monitor for the wall is getting to be so difficult to find.

                    Or just don't connect them to the internet, at least. My current TV has never been online, lol.

                    Edit: This probably means that it has hacked my WiFi and is online without telling me by now.

                      Time to check the DHCP leases.
