Why are there such idiotic smart TVs that can’t even turn off bluetooth?!

There are at least two such devices in my apartment block and my bluetooth audio transmitter always tries to connect to them instead of my headphones. I have already talked to the people owning those TVs and we tried to disable BT, but it just isn’t possible. This is driving me insane!

    The best part of this? They know you inside out, what you watch and listen to, where and when, and then use it… to try to sell you stuff you already have.

      You would think that with all that demographic data and spying on everything they’d have a clue, but it’s like they’ve not been using it to make products better at all. It’s like they’re finding out just exactly how awful something has to be until we complain.
