Samsung is warning customers about discussing personal information in front of their smart television set.

The warning applies to TV viewers who control their Samsung Smart TV using its voice activation feature.

When the feature is active, such TV sets "listen" to what is said and may share what they hear with Samsung or third parties, it said.

Privacy campaigners said the technology smacked of the telescreens, in George Orwell's 1984, which spied on citizens.
..............................................................
The policy explains that the TV set will be listening to people in the same room to try to spot when commands or queries are issued via the remote. It goes on to say: "If your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party."

Apologies if this has been posted before. But it is very funny

If this was a shot from an MMO it would be of a solo player trying to complete a group quest. He really should have brought a friend.

This seems appropriate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljdYlme9N3E

When I helped my brother to move last year, I moved an Ikea Koppang dresser all by myself, with one small two wheels trolley.

I've just taken a look at its weight on ikea's website...

70 lb 7 oz (31.95 kg)

Personally I'm not too worried about this.

All the TV would hear would be the Kids arguing over nothing and me moaning (and being ignored) for them to stop leaving their school stuff all over the front room as usual.

Samsung can do with that what they like.

What? You don't shout your debit card pin code and credit card number (including the security one) at the top ou your lungs in front of the TV? What kind of a father are you?

I just want a dumb TV without input lag that looks good. Is that too much to ask?
