Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information.

Clarification: after a bit of research it seems the olfactory section pertains to CCPA California law, many places have olfactory in the privacy policy because it is required by the law. I can't believe we reached a point where we have to put olfactory in the privacy policy, but then again it won't be long before Smell-O-Vision becomes reality.

Also have a California ip you get a different privacy policy.

"They caught on".

I mean - u don't use any apps? Netflix, plex, Hulu, Disney, apple tv?

never allow your TV connect to any network but there is another comment up thread stating that some sammy tv won't permit you to connect HDMI device until you connect tv to internet

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 5 days ago

That comment is incorrect, at least for current model. Source: Samsung TV is not connected to the internet.

So return it if you bought a TV like that.

Buy these things with a credit card. If the store refuses a return or demands a restocking fee, credit card dispute. Visa doesn't fuck around with this stuff.
