Don't buy LG, noted. Also, maybe buying a dumb TV with great panel and then adding android fire stick that you can manage the way you want is the way all along?
Watch out for the android TV boxes. They are being used by China to backdoor into US critical infrastructure. Seriously.
This just barely covers the depth and scope of the issue. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fbi-badbox-20-android-malware-infects-millions-of-consumer-devices/
I'm tired of being in the frontline trenches of a shadow cyber war, boss.
Good lord I feel ya. Volt typhoon has positioned itself to take out US critical infrastructure as soon as we push back on Taiwan. As one article put it, "the gun is loaded"...
