I didn't watch Gamers Nexus —
216,000,000 Spy TVs | The LG Smart TV Problem (YouTube video), I just read some of the
rundowns, like ArsTechnica: LG TV shown scanning LAN for

The tl;dr is that LG TVs store and transmit a transcript of everything they hear you
saying, and send it off-site, including, if you don't hook them up to your own Internet
they'll connect to open WiFi.
Consider if your neighbor's ISP has a general WiFi connection that other subscribers to
the same ISP can use, like Comcast & AT&T.
And, of course, they're vulnerable...
Anyway, the obvious solution is to open that fucker up and short or remove the microphone
and antenna.

Joseph Kutzko was accused of punching and threatening his then-15-year-old
child at the family
home on Jan. 28, 2025, records from Westborough District Court show. A Southborough police detective
wrote that Kutzko
punched the victim in the shoulder and pulled them by their hair. Kutzko later allegedly
threatened to kill
the victim “for not singing in tune during a birthday celebration,” according to
court records.
The mother's up on witness intimidation charges.
So, yeah, abusers and bullies.

Another day, another person who apparently thinks it's funny to serve towards a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Whee.
The existence of liquid I.V. implies the existence of solid I.V., but I'm not sure how that would work.
Manitoba premier prefers no airport privatization, says no to rich receiving
money to run Richardson. Premier Wab Kinew knows what's up:
"I would point you to the precedent of it having never happened once in the
history of humankind, so colour me a little skeptical that all of a sudden handing over a
ton of money-making opportunity to some rich folks is going to help the average Canadian
out there."
