    I was just at frys and I asked this one coon whether or not they had any normal tvs without NSA spying equipment built in and the nog was like "We don't have any tvs without cameras" ...
    First off, why in the FUCK would a tv have a camera in the first place and secondly why isn't there any option to buy one without?
    It is literally bullshit that there wouldn't be options for people, this points to a concentrated effort to get people in on this against their own will.
    The only use I could see for this is that normies are so brain-dead and lazy that instead of spending a couple minutes looking through their jediflix for some jedi propaganda on their own, they need a camera to register their face then poke through their beast system profile to determine what they should spoon feed the user, other than that there would be absolute no reason for a tv to have a camera built in.
    This is fucking bullshit to the highest degree.

    It would be better to detach the camera cable and the microphone cable.

    if I end up buying a high-end one anytime soon I'm going to physically remove the camera/microphone modules, though I'm afraid it'll refuse to boot if they're not detected

    First of all that isn't true, lots of cheap TVs have no camera.

    For higher end models, the camera and mic module costs something like $2. No reason not to just throw it in.

    Just don't connect your TV to the internet. Problem solved.

    They will boot, at least, any one I have come across will. That goes for smartphones, TVs, laptops, etc. The cam/mic is deemed as NOT ESSENTIAL, so it passes POST and the OS generally lets it boot. However, that isn't to say that a firmware "update" couldn't introduce such measures to ensure the cam/mic is always attached.

    We can take certain measures to lessen the watch of "BIG BROTHER", but in an interconnected world, we're being "watched" somehow no matter what we're doing. When we use our grocery store member card, when we use public transit with some sort of transit program card, when we use our credit cards, when we browse websites online, just by owning a smartphone and the apps that have permissions to listen to the mics and activate the cameras, the shows that we watch on TV, etc.

    You'd have to only work for pay in cash, only use cash, not have a bank account, no credit card, no smartphone, no computer or internet, no grocery discount/member card, no public transport pass/card, etc. Live in the woods, generating your own electricity by solar panels you installed to the roof, your own well you dug and tapped with a pump, and grow your own vegetables/manage your own livestock. Then you never see your family, go into town for supplies with a disguise on each time and never on a schedule. That's the only way you could even begin to touch on being truly anonymous.

    Yes. That has been a thing here for quite awhile now. Every intersection has cameras that face you, to record your face and away from you to record your license plate number as you pass under. There is an escape, but you essentially have to completely abandon 21st century life and live in the woods.

    the woods too will be full of cameras set up by ''conservationists'' to track ''animals''.

    for ''researches'' purpose.

    This is fucking bullshit to the highest degree.
