    Watched this last night. I’m wondering if I could make money lobotomizing smart TVs. Remove the WiFi antenna and either remove the mic or put a actual hardwire switch to it.

      You’d have to test whether the TV’s firmware allows it to run without the microphone or WiFi. Some manufacturers will anticipate people trying to control their own tech and shut their device down at any sign of tampering.
