viewer data is TV makers' primary profit stream these days so the shitfucks are now making it so that the TV will grab your neighbor's open wifi just to report back to base
I saw someone else's TV in my Windows Explorer Network page even though our Wi-Fi is WPA2 password protected and wasn't connected to the Wi-Fi. Absolutely no idea how it showed up in explorer unless it's something to do with UPnP??? My desktop computer doesn't have Wi-Fi. Oh look at that, just checked and now I see a Brother printer.
Just looked up my problem again and supposedly it's caused by WPS. So I disabled WPS in the router, probably forgot to turn it off when I reset the settings.
Might be that or it might be something to do with how WPS works in general since it's used for setting up stuff like TVs. But it wouldn't make sense why it was in my computer's network panel. Maybe someone actually hacked into my network since I had it enabled. I dunno.

that would drive me insane

wait does that mean that TV manufacturers are exploiting WPS being vulnerable just so their shit can connect to the Internet?
