WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.

Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.

Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.

then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.

This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.

It pains me to admit but Android fans were right. It was always Samsung, not Apple that was truly listening to their customers all the time.

@YouHitYourHead @minilek Technically accurate. 😂

@AmshumanKR “Doing to yourself” is different than “doing” 😝

[Pradeep Gowda @btbytes]

Doing things that are difficult for most of the humans is the moat.

[Saman Farid @samanfarid]

Pain tolerance is the moat

3-year degrees are gaining momentum.

NYU President Linda Mills:

“Universities are due for another evolution: offering 90-credit, three-year bachelor’s degrees in fields that demand immediate workforce development.”

“Four years of college is not an inviolable standard.”

@typeclonghouse easiest way to mog the nerds, who wouldn't know which end of an ironbox points forward.

[Pradeep Gowda @btbytes]

@cobbaltt the cheapest would be something like tello, which i had for my old home number .. just as a lay about phone.

[Pradeep Gowda @btbytes]

@cobbaltt esp if you brought your india phone with you.

[Pradeep Gowda @btbytes]

@cobbaltt if you haven't already i suggest USMobile

[Pradeep Gowda @btbytes]

@cobbaltt really *don't* shop for ..

[Pradeep Gowda @btbytes]

@cobbaltt vast majority of the people really shop for a "phone", but a "plan", and only a sliver of them look at "not apple".

usually androids are used by 1. nerds that are too good to use Apple (lol) 2. people who can't afford regular plans.

it's pretty hard to break into this scene.

@ModernDayInves I think it’s just age 😂

[Charles Gillespie @charlesgillespi]

Never seen a more flagrant and violent breach of privacy in my life, and probably never will. Doubtful that a privacy violation will ever even be able to compare to the scale of this evil and deliberate attack.

Samsung should be eviscerated for this. Criminal charges please

A “security expert” guy in a button down shirt saying he doesn’t know PHP.. if it was a guy in a suite saying that, I get it..
