I guess that you cannot read well so I will say it plainly, when a TV has no access to the outside internet over the lifespan of the TV, zero information or files will ever be uploaded and will stay on TV with no external copy existing anymore.
There is no meaningful data for the OS to capture if it used as a display for externally connected devices.
The only way to have 100% privacy on all devices is not have internet service.
Yes, plugin ethernet, install updates, unplug ethernet, never connect it to wi-fi, there is no risk to privacy.
Are people aware that they can buy a smart TV and never conntect it to wi-fi and never plug in the ethernet? There is no risk if TV never gets an IP.
I do agree with your explanarion. Your initial responce came across as flippant as if there is only one approved opinion, and that is to hate Twitter, as opposed respecting people's decision to only use Twitter.
I see the hyocritical posts on the fediverse to hate on X/Twitter, but at the same time the fediverse is constantly begging to be accepted as relevant. Considering it's only a small number of people that use Twitter on a weekly basis, Mastadon is completely meaningless and will forever be nothing, and nobody has ever heard of Lemmy, but Lemmy has already garaunteed itself to remain nonexistant to discussions on the stredt and in busineasaes.
I do wonder if Mastodon is doomed to be forgotten, even if there are servers still running it, but it's too early to say. But I will bet cash money that absolutely nothing from fediverse will ever have broad appeal and fediverse will permanently stay in a tiny nothing hole separate from society.
You are crying like a child over not getting your own way. You can buy an Intel GPU. You can buy Radeon or RX.
Ok, what about it?
Yoy can dream up every fantasy scenerio you want until you are butt stupid, it does not make it plausible.
