Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds.
Not a guess. Not a theory.
A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it.
Samsung TVs: every minute.
LG TVs: every 15 seconds.
Even when you're just using it as a monitor.
Here's how to turn it off for every brand:
@Berbafaz@kickmurdersquad There is no director's cut of Alien 3, because Fincher has fully washed his hands of the project. The Assembly Cut is effectively a director's cut, but it's not called that because the director was not involved.
A previously unheard ‘expanded ritual’ edition of Coil's legendary, ill-fated score for Hellraiser - trust that even if you own the OG 10” and tape, you’ve never heard most of this material before

Wanna recommend Small Prophets on iPlayer, new show by Mackenzie Crook following The Detectorists. Leaning even further into the regional idiosyncratic rural working class quirk stuff, with some real strange old weirde englande mystic stuff on top. Really really great.
28 Years Later #TheBoneTemple takes some big swings and most of them land. Suspect it will divide fans but it's nastier and - surprisingly - funnier than the first part, with mesmerizing performances from Jack O'Connell and Ralph Fiennes.
@BilottaLotta It went down well with the crowd, plus Nia DaCosta, the director, introduced it and made it sound like the 3rd film was happening. Nothing's guaranteed, of course, but I think it'll be fine.
