Love it...lol....Make sure I don't buy one of these!
Samsungs latest smart TV has a screen camera. Not a separate lens, the picture pixels themselves.
It can watch and listen to your conversation without you even knowing about it!
So is your TV watching you?
Ladies better redo the lippy and be sure not to bag out one of your friends while chatting on the phone.
Blokes get your hand out of your pants and make sure the mistress doesn’t jump you between adverts.
As usual this device is networked so if your hacked then they have control of all the settings.
Internet technology is getting crazzzyyyy and are we sure security can keep up?
may allow hackers or even Samsung to see and hear you and your family, and collect extremely personal data.

if they just put a manual switch on the mic and camera then there wouldn’t be an issue, I’m glad this sort of thing don’t interest me as it would cost a fortune to keep getting all the new gadgets

Good news is your TV will be a literal babysitter. You could go out and put the kids infront and watch them the whole time. Occasionally talking to them via the TV. lol

Just to bring it down a level,
Imagine you and the better half watching pawn in front of that thing, and it all gets a bit hot and bothered,
Next thing you are on Youtube etc.
Could be quite embarassment.

From what I understand from the article AB its just a inbuilt screen camera, the picture pixels arn't the camera. TV camera's are not new but I think the main concern is you can't turn it off

don't they have TV's that reconise you and your voice therefore not needing a remote.
by the way should come with a holster like a cowboy gun. IMO

Na mate not just in America,
A little off topic, but there is a bloke not far from here called Cathcart Johnny (Cathcart is a tiny town near Bombala) who lives up in the scrub on his own, no amenities at all(power, water etc).
This bloke looks like a wild man from Borneo and he walks the roadsides around the area with a bag and a hatchet, he cuts the tails of the fresh road kill Kangaroos for tucker, waste not want not I guess.
When I first moved hear people would tell me about this bloke and I'm thinking yeah yeah pull the other one. I have seen him and I know a local nurse who has had to treat him when he got really ill.
Freaks you out when you first spot him because he's so stealthy he's there one minute gone the next.
