      If my former boss that I hated had a susceptible tv and I could remotely control it I’d probably put gay porn or cheating porn if he’s married, during a family gathering.

        That’s what I was thinking.

        Some TVs have microphones and cameras. I wasn’t sure if these models do and if that could be exploited or if something even more malicious would be possible.
