Security ever was a trade off against convenience.
Was listening to an interview with Edward Snowden yesterday and he was saying that if someone on the Govt target list buys a new computer, router, or now presumably a smart TV, the NSA/CIA/FBI/? get to it first. Only after they have installed their toys does it get deivered to the buyer. They leave no sign that the packing has been interfered with.
That would suggest that walking into the local computer shop and buying off the shelf would be a safer bet than ordering on line. If you were likely to be of interest to TPTB.

Yes, been a while now, that the NSA/et al could intercept server/router shipments, change the firmware/BIOS so you'd never know, and then send it on to you.
Ultimately, you'd build it yourself, and obviously not put Windows on it (something like Tails), Tor browser and crypts.
Even so, there are massive data centres in the regions where the cables cross (middle east etc) and they're trying to intercept as much as possible. There was an article recently about staying secure and crossing borders (like US Customs). Basically advised to carry no data and then connect when through. I had to chuckle though, some of our clients have been remoting into their work machines via secure software for 10+ years. No data leaves the network, laptops are simply access terminals etc.

They reported to an investors conference that under the old model (perpetual licensing) they received $100 and under the subscription model they received $180 (and guess who's pocket that comes out of). Then again, it's nothing new to have parts of MS doing different things. Their own software doesn't play nicely with each other...

Thanks (mostly) all.
So do I like post up an IP address so you can all check up on me online?
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
No need for that, I will hack your google n DNS look up your wifi transmission routing using upnp buffering.
Once I have done that I can remotely control your tv to send subliminal messages instructing you to buy a gun and kill akzle whilst singing Blur "Song 2".

Made the interface bracket to attach to TV from a sheet of ally I harvested years ago. Cutouts for cables etc with grinder and burs filed off. Now need to do holes for wall bracket. But need wife to help hold the TV while I decide best place for it or if I need to move some shit.
Maybe I hold it while she decides is usual course of action.
