What to do once you buy a tv in 2026
Unfortunately that will probably also void any warranty. Better to restrict access at the network level.
It shouldn't be necessary or expected to perform surgical interventions on devices to make them respect privacy.
Why fabric and aluminium foil? Pretty sure removing microphones/cameras/bt modules is enough :p
Also, the foil wont do too much if you dont ground it!
Can never get too safe
The fabric is to prevent it from accidentally shorting components. The foil is for a faraday cage.
