And Sony patented this garbage

Does a Sony Patent Propose Viewers Skip Commercials by Yelling Brand Names at TV?

That was 15 years ago.

All new cars are spying on you.

We say this now but in 5 years, cars could go the way of smart TVs… sold at prices subsidized by advertisers.

grue ,

LOL, imagine thinking that TVs are actually subsidized and that the spyware isn’t just extra pure profit.

sem ,

Lol they absolutely are subsidized. Look how expensive non-smart TVs are new

grue , (edited )

Last I checked, Sceptre TVs are price-competitive with other brands, if not even cheaper.

sem ,

Afaik they’re a discount brand? That you have to buy from Newegg? But I’m glad there is at least one option!

fmstrat ,

If they patent it and don’t use it or sell it, I’m OK with it.

Companies patent dumb ideas all the time with no real intention to develop them. No harm in mocking them for it, but I wouldn’t be ringing alarm bells unless they actually start implementing it in their vehicles.

Now is the perfect time to raise alarms loudly and publicly so they understand how upset people will be before investing.
