Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

If you're using a seperate Chromecast stick in the HDMI port, then yes, LG's tracking will be disabled if the TV itself has no internet connection.
I would still be extremely wary; HDMI as a spec has the ability to carry Ethernet data.
I wouldn’t put it past the manufacturers from giving it a couple of years for this news cycle to pass from user memory, before trying more nefarious methods to try and exfiltrate data by piggybacking through connected devices like a Chromecast.
That’s mostly because I don’t trust Google to not help facilitate that for a share of the profits and access to the data for AI training.
Essentially no onr implements it.
playstation to sound system to [smarter than i'd like] tv.
i don't know how much data gets stripped out at the sound system, but i know they started making older sound formats stop working through the optical audio channel for "reasons" (probably to do with tracking) and we had to switch to HDMI. do not get me started.
The receiver takes the audio signal from the Playstation to push it to the speakers then sends the rest to the TV. Make sure the TV is not connected to the internet.
