We Could Get Sued for This - Gamers Nexus (lemmy.world)

This long-form series of special reports, investigations, and shorter format feature updates goes deep with the privacy violations and overreach of modern consumer electronics, including Smart TVs and other devices. We'll explore LG's WebOS, LG Smart TV vulnerabilities and exploits, first-party ACR (automated content recognition) behaviors, and other concerns. Alongside that, we'll dive deeper into ALPRs and Flock cameras as we fight their rollout in at least one small town. We're also digging deep into the data exchange practices between large AI companies, looking into how data sucked into data centers can be exploited for training and profit.

Ah, so that's the context on that video. I ignored it due to the clickbait title and thumbnail. I've been ignoring a lot of his videos lately.

I hate his thumbnails and his team really needs to better themselves on that.

That said, the effort and quality of his investigations are something else.

You heard of this? https://dearrow.ajay.app/ I am not affiliated. You just reminded me, I share the same hate.

Was gonna say, I haven't seen YouTube thumbnails in years. It just grabs a frame from the video, the way it used to work.

This is unfortunately the state of modern YouTubing. Clickbait or fail.

I stopped watching him myself for a few reasons.

Firstly because I watched that 3.5 hour documentary on the Nvidia AI GPU black market and thought "this could've been an email". I gained next to nothing from the time I spent on it and I did not enjoy it. The same applied to the rest of his videos too.

Secondly because I've started to be pro-professionalism, and Gamers Nexus lacks professionalism such as in his dealings with LTT.

That video was pointless. It was just an ad and asking for donations for their upcoming series.

Well, LG tvs recording what you say and transcribing it into a log does not seem pointess at all
