WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.
Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.
Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.
then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.
This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.

The Winston posting reminded me of this. Winston is a brother to me. Winston is a brother to us all
We joke about Winston Overwatch now, but 3H did show a random gorilla at the beginning of its ancient history flashback cinematic.
Kinda crazy (but not unexpected) that Smart TVs like Samsung (Tizen OS) actively violate user consent/ToS settings and will likely get away with it under the current political sphere despite it being comical levels of illegal.
Doing research on Smart TV bullshit is really frustrating because there’s lots of actual issues and concerns regarding them but almost everyone potentially doing something about it is a techbro grifter trying to shill vibecoding AI slop.
Modern TV options kinda suck from what I’ve seen
- Hisense lacks OLED models in US
- Sony isn’t good for gaming apparently
- Samsung has the worst bloatware, is the slowest, and lacks an Android based OS (easier to modify afaik)
- LG
I wish Sonic fans at least knew Crush 40 has made non-Sonic songs because then we’d probably have a bit less panic around the Sega licenses being cancelled.
The tracks taken down are the non-Sonic ones, these tracks were licensed by Sega for certain album releases.
Really though we won’t know the specifics unless Gioeli or someone from Sega comes forward and explains directly, which may never happen.

Not quite actually! It's irrelevant whether they're Sonic or not, as they're all basically under the "same ownership" (whatever that is). What's actually happened is all the Crush 40 *albums* have gone down (except Super Sonic Songs). A lot of those albums went
Reposting from a discord server chat about it. TLDR It seems the Crush 40 tracks that were not produced under contract with Sega are the ones having their licenses cancelled. These licenses were used for albums released under Sega, of which included a few non-Sega owned tracks.
So basically stuff made with or for Sega like the Sonic songs are fine, but original tracks like Into the Wind or Sonic Youth are no longer going to be available under albums released under Sega (their music division is sometimes labeled as Wave Master Inc iirc).
