Disabling Microphones on Smart TVs
Bender asks about ways to permanently disable microphones on smart TVs. It is suggested to check if the TV actually has a built-in microphone or if it is in the remote control. If the TV has a microphone, it is recommended to check the settings or try using a pie hole to see where it sends data to. It is also mentioned that physically disabling the microphone may be necessary but caution is advised, and YouTube tutorials and forums can be helpful for guidance. Additionally, it is suggested to explore using alternative devices like Raspberry Pi to bypass the smart TV functionality.
