Sneaky data collection turns cool gadgets into tools that work against you.

My old smart TV felt like it was spying on my bad taste.

Yeah I totally get that feeling, like it's judging your late night reality TV binge. What I ended up doing was just disconnecting my TV from the internet completely and plugged in a basic streaming stick instead. Now the dumb TV can't send anything back, and all the tracking is limited to the stick's account, which feels a bit easier to manage.
