Discord Drops Persona Age Verification, SolarWinds Serv-U Critical RCEs, Splunk Windows Priv Esc, and Smart TV Screenshot Surveillance Lawsuits In this episode of Cybersecurity Today, host Jim Love covers Discord ending its age-verification experiment with Persona after user backlash and researcher findings that Persona's front-end code suggested up to 269 verification checks, including watch list screening and risk scoring, amid already-thin trust following an earlier breach that exposed government ID images. The show also highlights SolarWinds Serv-U 15.5.0.4 patches for four critical (CVSS 9.1) remote code execution vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-40538, CVE-2025-40539, CVE-2025-40540, CVE-2025-40541), noting they require high privileges and that self-hosted Windows/Linux instances must be upgraded, with estimates ranging from under 1,200 to over 12,000 internet-exposed servers. Splunk discloses a high-severity Windows privilege escalation flaw (CVE-2025-2386, CVSS 8.0) caused by incorrect install-directory permissions in versions before 10.0.0.2, 9.4.0.6, 9.3.0.8, and 9.2.10, enabling local users to potentially escalate privileges and tamper with logging. Finally, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sues Samsung, Sony, LG, Hisense, and TCL, alleging smart TVs use automated content recognition to capture screen content—potentially up to twice per second—and transmit it without meaningful consent, with implications for both home viewing and confidential business use; the episode emphasizes reviewing and disabling ACR settings and accounting for network-connected screens in security models.

“What if your TV could follow you from the living room to the backyard—and even to the bathroom?” That's the mind-blowing question that kicks off today's episode of The Ben and Skin Show, featuring Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray.The crew dives into the latest tech buzz: Hisense's new Follow Me TV, a 32-inch 4K touchscreen that rolls around on wheels, runs on battery power for 10 hours, and promises to revolutionize how we watch television. Is this the future of home entertainment—or just a pricey gimmick? The gang debates all the possibilities, from watching football in the front yard to rolling your TV into the bathroom (if you dare).

Invité, fonction, était l'invité de François Sorel dans Tech & Co, la quotidienne, ce jeudi 24 septembre. Il/Elle [est revenu(e) / a abordé / s'est penché(e) sur] [SUJET] sur BFM Business. Retrouvez l'émission du lundi au jeudi et réécoutez la en podcast.
Le CES 2026 est officiellement lancé à Las Vegas. Direction le Las Vegas Convention Center, le plus vaste hall du salon, récemment réaménagé, où se concentrent les géants de l'électronique grand public. Des stands monumentaux et une impression générale de continuité : l'innovation progresse, mais sans rupture spectaculaire.Partenariat : avec FreePro, le meilleur de Free pour les entreprisesTéléviseurs : la reine du CES reste l'écranCôté télé, les constructeurs convergent vers les technologies RGB mini-LED et micro-LED, synonymes de couleurs plus pures, de forte luminosité et de réduction des halos lumineux. Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL ou Hisense rivalisent aussi sur la taille, avec des écrans géants dépassant les trois mètres de diagonale, véritables démonstrateurs technologiques.Lunettes connectées : nouveautés chez Meta Autre tendance très attendue : les lunettes connectées. Meta mène la danse avec les Ray-Ban Meta, intégrant un écran discret, un bracelet haptique et de nouvelles fonctions comme le téléprompteur ou la messagerie par écriture manuscrite. Navigation piétonne en réalité augmentée et sous-titres en temps réel illustrent une AR plus mature, même si ces modèles ne sont pas encore disponibles en Europe. TCL, pionnier du secteur, poursuit ses travaux de miniaturisation de ses lunettes à réalité augmenté Ray Neo, tout en proposant parallèlement des lunettes de divertissements à écrans personnels immersifs.Robots : humanoïdes, aspirateurs et compagnonsLes robots occupent toujours une place de choix au CES. Humanoïdes encore largement téléopérés, robots aspirateurs capables de ramasser des objets ou de monter les escaliers, et même robots compagnons pour enfants, comme le TCL AiMe. Bref, la robotique avance à plusieurs vitesses.IA domestique : vers une maison pilotée par l'écranL'intelligence artificielle s'impose comme le prolongement naturel de la domotique. Réfrigérateurs, téléviseurs, chauffage ou éclairage deviennent les éléments d'un même écosystème intelligent. Les grands groupes imaginent une maison pilotée par des assistants et des écrans omniprésents, avec la télévision comme hub central.Mobilité : Sony accélère avec l'AfeelaEnfin, le CES confirme son virage vers la mobilité. Sony expose un nouveau prototype de berline développé avec Honda, la future Afeela. Un concentré de technologies mêlant divertissement, capteurs et IA conversationnelle, qui symbolise l'ambition du salon au-delà de l'électronique domestique.
Peacock se adelanta a todosPeacock será la primera plataforma de streaming en ofrecer Dolby Vision 2 y nuevo audio avanzado antes que Netflix y Apple. Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo. En el CES dos mil veintiséis, la feria donde se definen muchas de las tecnologías que vamos a usar en los próximos años, una plataforma dio un paso inesperado. No fue Netflix. No fue Apple TV. Tampoco Disney Plus.La noticia llegó desde Peacock, una plataforma poco conocida fuera de Estados Unidos, pero que acaba de colocarse en el centro de una discusión técnica muy importante.Peacock anunció que será la primera plataforma de streaming del mundo en integrar Dolby Vision 2 y el nuevo sistema de audio Dolby AC-4.Este anuncio importa porque cambia cómo se procesan las imágenes y el sonido dentro del televisor, incluso durante transmisiones en vivo. Y plantea una pregunta clave: ¿qué está haciendo Peacock para llegar primero y qué significa esto para quien se sienta frente a la pantalla? El avance técnico existe, pero entenderlo cambia por completo la percepción. Antes de entrar en la tecnología, aclaremos qué es Peacock.Peacock es la plataforma de streaming de NBCUniversal. Allí se concentran películas de Universal, series originales, programas de televisión estadounidense y, sobre todo, una apuesta fuerte por eventos en vivo.Tiene alrededor de cuarenta y un millones de suscriptores. No compite por volumen, compite por tipo de contenido. Peacock transmite deportes como la NFL, la NBA, la Premier League y los Juegos Olímpicos.Eso explica por qué Peacock resulta ideal para probar nuevas tecnologías. El streaming en vivo es uno de los escenarios más exigentes para el video digital. No hay margen para correcciones posteriores.En ese contexto, Peacock anunció que va a emitir contenido usando Dolby Vision 2 y Dolby Atmos, apoyados por el nuevo audio Dolby AC-4, tanto en eventos en directo como en contenido bajo demanda. Ahora vamos a la parte técnica, paso a paso. HDR significa Alto Rango Dinámico. En pocas palabras, es la capacidad de una imagen para mostrar detalles en zonas muy oscuras y muy iluminadas al mismo tiempo.En HDR básico, el televisor recibe una señal y aplica ajustes generales. En HDR dinámico, como Dolby Vision, el contenido incluye metadatos.Los metadatos son instrucciones. No son la imagen en sí, son datos que le dicen al televisor cómo debe mostrar esa imagen.Dolby Vision original trabaja con metadatos escena por escena. Eso ya era un salto importante.Dolby Vision 2 va más lejos. Funciona fotograma por fotograma. Cada imagen tiene sus propias instrucciones: cuánto brillo usar, cómo tratar los colores, cómo manejar el contraste y cómo procesar el movimiento.El televisor ya no adivina. Recibe órdenes muy precisas y las adapta a sus capacidades reales.Aquí ocurre algo muy interesante. Dolby Vision 2 no intenta convertir un televisor barato en uno caro. Lo que hace es conocer sus límites y trabajar dentro de ellos.Dolby prueba televisores en sus laboratorios y crea perfiles técnicos. Con esos perfiles, el sistema sabe cuánta luz puede emitir la pantalla, qué tan profundos son sus negros y cómo responde su procesador.Con esa información, los metadatos se traducen en decisiones precisas para cada fotograma.Eso permite mejorar detalles en sombras, evitar colores exagerados y reducir problemas de movimiento.En versiones avanzadas, incluso permite a los creadores decidir cuánta interpolación de movimiento se aplica en cada momento de una película o serie.Aquí entra también el audio. Dolby AC-4 reemplaza al códec actual usado en streaming. Es más eficiente y está pensado para manejar sonido envolvente moderno.Permite, por ejemplo, priorizar las voces desde la mezcla original, sin que el televisor tenga que procesarlas después.Este nivel de procesamiento no es gratuito.

On this week's show DJ Briggs from Brightside Home Theater fills in for Braden who is away on business. We ask DJ to give us his opinion on using a large format TV as a replacement for a projector. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: LG will debut its first Micro RGB television at CES Local ABC, CBS, FOX, & NBC Stations Are Demanding Up to a 50% Price Hike for Cable TV Customers WBD board recommends rejection of Paramount's takeover bid Other: YouTube TV Wants to Unbundle the Cable Package That Streamers Were Meant to Kill in the First Place Tailwind Meross Garage Door Opener HT Guys Amazon List Swapping a projector for a 100" TV Jon Taylor recently purchased a TCL 98QM7K (2025 model, QD-Mini LED QLED with Google TV) during Black Friday for $1,999.99 (50% off the $3,999.99 retail price). After using it for a couple of weeks in his basement home theater (replacing an older 82" Samsung and supplementing a projector setup), he shares highly positive impressions. Key Highlights: Size and Installation: The 98" screen is enormous and immersive. Delivery and installation (included from Best Buy) went smoothly, though modifications to basement stairs were needed to fit the massive box. Picture Quality: Exceptional deep blacks (best non-OLED he's seen, rivaling his old Panasonic plasma), vibrant colors, and strong contrast. Upscaling of lower-resolution content (720p/1080p from cable, Blu-ray, streaming) is excellent. 4K sources, including Ultra HD Blu-ray and YouTube, look stunning with minimal motion blur. Performance Across Sources: Built-in Google TV streaming: Clear and smooth. Roku Premier: Deep blacks and popping colors. Standout: Apple TV 4K shines brightest, leveraging Dolby Vision for an incredibly vivid, "popping" image—far superior to non-Dolby Vision devices on his previous Samsung. Gaming and Features: 144Hz refresh rate delivers outstanding performance with low motion lag. Fun feature: Displays four simultaneous 48" screens for NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. Observations: Large size exposes weaknesses in poor cable signals (fixed by rerouting). He notes TCL (and Hisense) are seriously challenging premium brands (Samsung, LG, Sony) with high-end specs at budget prices, earning praise from reviewers like RTINGS.com. Jon historically preferred established brands for reliability but now sees TCL/Hisense as the new value leaders, similar to how Samsung/LG rose decades ago. He recommends checking out the latest high-end TCL models, especially for large sizes where premium brands were too expensive for him. He's also considering switching from Verizon Fios to a streaming TV service to cut costs. Overall, Jon is thrilled with the TV's performance and value, calling it a "force to be reckoned with."

LG Micro RGB evo debuta en CES 2026 con nueva tecnología de color y control de luzPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoLG presenta su primer televisor Micro RGB evo para 2026, con color total certificado y control avanzado de luz.LG acaba de confirmar que va a entrar de lleno en la nueva generación de televisores RGB. En CES 2026, la marca va a presentar el LG Micro RGB evo, su televisor LCD más avanzado hasta ahora. Llega en tamaños de setenta y cinco, ochenta y seis y cien pulgadas, con una promesa clara: colores más precisos, más puros y mejor control de la luz. Este anuncio pone a LG en la misma carrera en la que ya están Samsung, Hisense, TCL y Sony. Pero aquí hay una diferencia clave: LG dice que va a llevar la precisión aprendida en trece años de OLED a un televisor LCD. ¿Hasta dónde puede llegar esta mezcla de tecnologías?La clave está en cómo se ilumina la imagen, no en el tipo de panelEl LG Micro RGB evo usa una retroiluminación formada por pequeños grupos de luces rojas, verdes y azules. Esos grupos iluminan varios píxeles a la vez y permiten un control del color mucho más fino que el de los televisores LCD tradicionales. LG explica que este sistema alcanza el cien por ciento de los espacios de color BT punto veinte veinte, DCI-P3 y Adobe RGB, algo certificado por Intertek.Para gestionar esa precisión, el televisor incorpora el procesador Alpha once generación tres, un chip que se encarga del control de la luz, el tratamiento del color y el escalado de imagen con ayuda de inteligencia artificial.El desafío de esta tecnología está en el equilibrio. Aunque el televisor cuenta con más de mil zonas de atenuación, hay modelos Mini LED que ofrecen muchas más. Eso puede marcar diferencias en escenas con contrastes extremos. Además, este tipo de panel sigue necesitando filtros de color, algo que no ocurre en OLED ni en el microLED real.El objetivo de LG es cerrar la brecha entre brillo, precisión de color y tamaño de pantalla, sin llegar a los costos extremos del microLED, que hoy sigue reservado para presupuestos muy altos.LG confía en que el control avanzado de la luz y el procesamiento heredado de su experiencia en OLED compensen esas limitaciones. El Micro RGB evo se apoya en sistemas de atenuación más precisos y en algoritmos que ajustan brillo y color en tiempo real.El televisor también integra la versión más reciente de webOS, con perfiles personalizados, ajustes automáticos de imagen y sonido, y herramientas de asistencia con inteligencia artificial. LG va a mostrar el modelo en CES 2026, en Las Vegas, entre el seis y el nueve de enero, donde se conocerán datos finales como brillo máximo, consumo y precio.El movimiento de LG confirma una tendencia clara para 2026. Varias marcas ya han presentado o anunciado televisores RGB. Hisense mostró uno de ciento dieciséis pulgadas. Samsung lanzó un modelo de ciento quince pulgadas con un precio cercano a los treinta mil dólares. TCL ya comercializa opciones en China y Sony prepara su tecnología True RGB.RGB y microLED no son lo mismo. En RGB, los LEDs iluminan grupos de píxeles; en microLED, cada píxel emite su propia luz. Esa diferencia técnica explica por qué el microLED sigue siendo tan costoso.Para creadores de contenido, la cobertura total de BT punto veinte veinte resulta especialmente atractiva. Para el público general, el mayor impacto se va a notar en escenas HDR con colores intensos y altos niveles de brillo.LG entra en la carrera del RGB con un televisor que busca combinar brillo, color y control avanzado de luz. El Micro RGB evo se va a mostrar en CES 2026 y ahí vamos a saber si cumple todo lo que promete. Cuéntame qué opinas y sigue Flash Diario en Spotify.LG presenta su primer televisor Micro RGB evo para 2026 con color certificado y control avanzado de la retroiluminación.

On this week's show we find you the best Black Friday deals for your home theater, well at least at the time of recording. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: YouTube TV and Disney reach agreement to restore channels Disney+ and Hulu near 200 million combined subscribers New Study Finds 38% Of Respondents View TV With Speaker Sound Off Content Discovery Still a Challenge for Streamers Other: ONKYO - Adding Internet Radio Stations Bright Side Home Theater MOVEMBER MEGA RAFFLE 2025 Movember Raffle — Bright Side Home Theater Black Friday 2025 Each year we go through the Black Friday ads from various stores and list items. It's a long list and can be tedious to listen to. So this year we decided to search out what we thought were the best deals on various items for your Home Theater and Smart Home. This year many retailers are not releasing their sales until the last minute and since we are recording one week before Black Friday our list may be missing a few items that pop up later. But here is our early list of things we think you will be interested in: The standout deal for the largest screen size at the lowest price is the 98-inch TCL Q Series 4K QLED Google TV at Walmart for $998 (down from $1,798, saving $800). This is a 2025 model with premium features like 144Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision HDR, Dolby Atmos audio, and Google TV smart platform—making it ideal for movies, gaming, and streaming without breaking the bank under $1,000. Hisense has a slightly more expensive model that hits that magic 100" mark. The 100-inch Hisense QLEDs (priced between $1,000–$1,200) delivers the biggest diagonal size for the cheapest absolute dollar amount right now. Deals can fluctuate or sell out quickly, so check often and lock in your price. The Best soundbar deal with dolby ATMOS we have seen so far is the Samsung HW-Q990D 11.1.4-Channel Soundbar System at $1,000 (save $1,000 off $2,000 MSRP) at Best Buy. It's praised as the "best Dolby Atmos soundbar system" for its massive scale, precise 3D sound, and gaming features (4K/120Hz HDMI). At 50% off, it outperforms pricier competitors in value and power (656W total). If you want something more compact, the JBL Bar 1300X ($1200) edges it for portability. The Govee Holiday sale starts November 20th at Amazon. We don't know what the savings will be but Ara owns some Govee light strips and is very pleased with them. They support Matter and can be installed permanently outdoors. The best deal on a Samsung high end TV is the Samsung S95F OLED for 2025, known for being bright, vivid colors, deep blacks, and excellent motion handling, this TV is ideal for bright rooms or mixed use. It includes the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor for 4K upscaling, four HDMI 2.1 ports, and Tizen OS with free channels and cloud gaming. Current Black Friday deal: 65" for $2,298 at Amazon (save $700 from $2,998)—matches the all-time low. There are 77 and 83 inch models for $3500 and $5000 respectively. The Best Deal on high end wireless speakers the Kef LS50 Wireless II ($2000) is more than a high-performance loudspeaker; it's the perfect all-in-one speaker system, streaming from any source thanks to wireless compatibility with AirPlay 2, Google Cast and more, plus wired connections for your TV, games console and turntable. Great sound, no strings attached. If you are looking for a gift for the Home Theater enthusiast in your life, and that may mean you buy it for yourself. Check out The Home Theater Store. They are running a black friday sale on seating, decor, and accessories. Some examples include popcorn machines starting at $40 and going all the way up to $2000. With savings up to $600.

Two Blink Mini 2 Home Security & Pet Cameras with HD video, color night view, motion detection, two-way audio, and built-in spotlight for $28! The best overall deal on an OLED TV is the LG 77" C5 Series OLED evo AI 4K UHD Smart webOS TV (2025 model) at $1,999.99 at Bestbuy (down from $3,699.99—a $1,700 savings, or 46% off). The LG OLED evo C5 is powered by the next-gen Alpha 9 Gen8 AI Processor —exclusively made for LG OLED—for ultra-realistic picture and sound along with boosted brightness for luminosity and high contrast, even in well-lit rooms. Dolby Vision for extraordinary color, contrast and brightness, plus Dolby Atmos for immersive sound you can feel all around you. FILMMAKER MODE allows you to see films just as the director intended. Packed with gaming features, the LG OLED evo C-Series comes with everything you need to win like a 0.1ms response time, native 120Hz refresh rate, with VRR for PC gaming and four HDMI 2.1 inputs. AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro 4K Laser Projector, (I found a better deal at Amazon after we recorded. $2300!!) has a compact ultra-short-throw (UST) model that transforms any wall or table into a massive, vibrant cinema screen without the bulk of a traditional TV setup. Unlike standard projectors that require dark rooms and precise mounting, this one projects up to 150 inches from just inches away, with built-in speakers delivering Dolby Audio and a sleek, furniture-like design that blends into your space. Priced at $2,999 (down from $3,999—a $1,000 savings with discount code obtained at the AWOL site) A killer deal on an AVR is the Denon AVR-X2700H for $680. At this price it would have made our list of best AV receivers for enthusiasts. It has 95W per channel, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio formats for up to 5.1.2 setups, Audyssey room calibration. It features 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video passthrough with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR, and HDMI 2.1 connectivity, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and voice control via Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri. The best deal on a no-frills subwoofer that packs a punch is the Klipsch Reference R-121SW ($350 at Walmart regular price $650). 400W peak power, 29-120Hz response, front-firing port for room-filling punch; ideal for movies/gaming. Compact at 16"H x 14"W. Known for it's "chest-thumping" bass without the boominess. Perfect starter upgrade for under $350. The craziest 50-Inch TV Deal we have seen is the Insignia 50" Class F50 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV at $169.99 at Best Buy. Is this a great TV? No but it's shockingly good value with Alexa voice control, built-in Fire TV streaming, and DTS Virtual:X audio for immersive sound without extra speakers. Picture quality is decent for bright rooms. Home Depot has great deals on Nest Thermostats. Some deals are active now and others on Black Friday. We are reading that Home Depot will have the Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen) available for $199. It's regularly priced at $279.

On this week's show we have an essay from one of our listeners on why he wants to stick with his DVR over streaming. We also take a deep dive into Automatic Content Recognition and how to turn it off on your smart TVs. As usual we also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Disney pulls channels from YouTube TV as carriage deal expires DIRECTV now offering the Disney Bundle free to select customers TV Set-Top Box Losing Market Dominance Please support Movember and enter to win great prizes from Bright Side Home Theater Movember Raffle — Bright Side Home Theater Swimming against the Stream - An essay from Jorge Beltran I know I will sound old and swimming against current, but I would like to go back to my world where we had our cable subscriptions, DVR and Netflix. Simple, vs having to manage 5-7 subscriptions to watch what we want at a cost we can pay. The proliferation of streaming services is turning out to be a way for content owners to extract more value from customers and significantly increase the amount of work customers have to do to find and track the content we want to watch. Even sports. Furthermore, it has backfired to content producers, with less opportunity to monetize content, driving them to look for economies of scale again. I follow or used to follow La Liga, Premier League Soccer, ski, college football, and formula 1 racing. Back in the day I knew what channel carried all of these sports on my cable line up, would set it to record on my DVR and done. I could watch it when I wanted and where I wanted since I could access my DVR from anywhere but the plane. Netflix was just growing and buying "older" content from the major networks and allowed us to binge watch old series we had missed. Some new exclusive content was coming out and that made paying the 10 - 12 $/mo a good value. Fast forward to today: The best games of Premier League have been taken off the over the air or regular cable channels are now behind a Paramount or someone else's paywall. Why am I going to pay for access to content that is mostly CBS that I can get over the air?. Worst of all, you can not skip commercials when you stream this content nowadays. You can't DVR the content and skip the commercials. I have lost track of who is now airing La Liga, but last time I checked was behind some other streamer. Fubo has a lot of soccer but is now super expensive too. Conclusion: I have stopped following La Liga and Premier League. My enthusiasm for good Futbol has gone down tremendously. I turned my eyes to college football and Formula 1. The worst part is that now I fear the same is going to happen with College Football, moving from free over the air or in basic cable channels to some exclusive need-to-pay streaming service. You guys praised Formula 1 going to Apple. I dread it!!! I do not pay for Apple TV(plus or not plus) and I catch Formula 1 over ESPN. Does it mean I will have to drop ESPN, that gives me other content and add AppleTV? If I were an NFL fan I would have lost it. Some content is on Amazon, other in the different networks or streamers. I do not know how much you have to pay to be able to watch the NFL consistently. Call me old school. I still have a cable service that gives me the right to HBO, ESPN, Fox, and the likes. I can watch and record all the related content in Hulu from the major networks. I only keep paying for Netflix that I see as a premium channel (like paying for HBO back in the day). Rationale - we get a lot of exclusive content there. I only keep the Disney/Hulu bundle cause it comes free with my wireless bill. And Amazon Prime (now with commercials) free for the shipping. But I barely watch Primer or Hulu cause I can't stand the commercials! In a world with many streamers, the economies of scale enjoyed by bundling content in cable packages have been lost and thus it costs more per viewer for content owners to create and distribute given the less # of eyeballs. Yes, it sounds counter intuitive, but that translates into higher bills for consumers, through different bills but when you add it all up, it has to be more expensive, no way around it. The positive is more content and innovation for sure. You can definitely find more quality content. But I foresee more partnerships coming to allow the industry to benefit from economies of scale and be able to distribute the cost of expensive content through more subscribers / viewers. Or they will have to continue to increase our subscription bills. I listened to an interview recently with a Hollywood producer detailing how cost efficient they have to be nowadays to be able to turn a profit on content produced given the lower number of ultimate viewers. This is a good thing, do not get me wrong. But my point is we are coming full circle and a lot of inefficiencies have been introduced in the content value chain and made the experience more time consuming and difficult for viewers in the process. I think the industry has shot itself on the foot. Content that used to be free over the air is now behind a paywall and ALSO with commercials. Apologies from my broken record Long live my DVR! Jorge What is Automatic Content Recognition (ACR)? Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) is built into most smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Vizio, Roku, Fire TV) and silently identifies everything you watch via your smart TV or any attached device via HDMI. It monitors your streaming, cable, and physical media. It will even identify any ads you watch. It grabs screen samples, sends them online, and feeds data to manufacturers, streamers, and advertisers for recommendations, targeted ads, and ratings. Usually on by default, it needs the internet to work. Privacy groups like the EFF warn it tracks your habits without clear ongoing notice. How Does ACR Collect Data from Your TV Viewing? ACR operates passively and continuously (or at set intervals) while the TV is on and tuned to a channel or app. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the process: Content Sampling: The TV's built-in software periodically "grabs" a short clip or snapshot of the audio, video, or both from what's currently displayed on the screen. This could be every few seconds or minutes, creating a digital "fingerprint" rather than storing full video. For example: Video fingerprinting: Analyzes pixels, colors, or scene changes (similar to how Shazam identifies songs). Audio fingerprinting: Listens for sound patterns in the broadcast. Watermarking: Detects invisible digital markers embedded in content by broadcasters or studios. This sampling works even for non-smart inputs, like cable or gaming consoles, because it captures whatever is output to the screen. Local Processing: The TV processes the sample on-device to generate a compact fingerprint. Raw clips aren't stored long-term on the TV itself—the data is anonymized to protect bandwidth and privacy (though critics argue these can still be re-identified when combined with other data like your location or device ID). Database Matching: The fingerprint is sent to the manufacturer's cloud servers where it's compared against a massive reference database. This database is built by: Monitoring live TV broadcasts in real-time via data centers. Cataloging known content like shows, movies, ads, and even timestamps for commercials. Matches reveal details such as the program title, channel, duration watched, and ad exposures. Data Aggregation and Transmission: Matched data is aggregated with metadata like your TV's IP address, viewing time, and household size. It's then used or shared: Internally for features like "fewer repetitive ads" or recommendations. With third parties like advertisers and Nielsen for ratings and for cross-device targeting which means you'll see the same ad on your phone after TV exposure. The entire process is designed to be invisible and efficient, running without impacting TV performance noticeably. Why Is This Data Collected? Personalization: To suggest shows/movies based on what you've watched. Advertising: Measures ad views for pricing, retargets viewers across devices, and optimizes campaigns. Measurement: Provides device-specific viewership stats, replacing outdated panel-based surveys. TV Manufacturers Using Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) for Data Collection Manufacturer ACR Usage Details How to Disable (General Steps) Samsung Uses built-in ACR on Tizen OS smart TVs to track viewing behavior, including programs, ads, OTT apps, and gaming. Data supports ad retargeting and is used internally for recommendations. Go to Settings > General > System Manager > Samsung Account > Privacy > Viewing Information Services > Toggle off. (10-37 clicks; also opt out via Samsung account online.) LG Integrates ACR on webOS TVs to fingerprint video/audio for viewing history and ad targeting. Captures screenshots every 10 milliseconds in some models. Settings > All Settings > General > System > Additional Settings > Live Plus > Toggle off. (Buried in menus; check privacy controls.) Vizio Owns Inscape, which licenses ACR data from its SmartCast TVs. Historically sold data to third parties; now requires opt-in after 2017 FTC settlement. Settings > Privacy & Security > Smart Home > Viewing Data > Limit Ad Track > Toggle off. (Opt out during setup or later.) Sony Employs ACR on Google TV/Android TV models to collect viewing data for personalization and ads, often via third-party integrations like Samba TV. Settings > Privacy > Automatic Content Recognition > Toggle off. (Varies by model; check Google account privacy if linked.) Roku (powers TVs from TCL, Hisense, Philips, Sharp) "Smart TV Experience" feature uses ACR on Roku OS to track content across linear TV, streaming, and devices. Data shared for ads and measurement. Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Smart TV Experience > Toggle off. (11-24 clicks; not on Roku sticks, only TVs.)

The Best Movie Plot Twists I came across an article that was discussing how a good movie will lead you down one path and then in a “Plot Twist” send you down a different and completely unexpected new path. That got me thinking about what were my most memorable plot twists from movies that I have watched over the years. I have come up with four that have stayed with me. What are your favorites? The Sixth Sense (1999) - The twist redefines the entire story, forcing viewers to rethink every scene. It's iconic for its emotional weight and subtle foreshadowing, often cited as the gold standard of plot twists. In this case you learn that Bruce Willis' character Malcolm Crowe was actually deceased. I hate to admit it but I never saw this coming. The Empire Strikes Back (1980) - The revelation Darth Vader is Luke's Father altered the saga's emotional core and is still one of the most quoted twists ever. Planet of the Apes (1968) - we are talking about the original here with Charlton Heston. The last scene leads up to the final payoff making it one of the most memorable twists in cinema. Se7en (1995) - The climax delivers a horrific surprise that ties the story's themes together. It's a twist that's both brutal and unforgettable, often debated for its boldness. The twist, John Doe played by Kevin Spacey manipulates Mills played by Brad Pitt emotionally to commit the seventh deadly sin. Braden's Pics: Usual Suspects Fight Club Shutter Island Memento
