In this post we look under the hood of BrightData's SDK and how it turns ordinary consumer TVs into exit nodes of an enormous commercial, residential proxy network leveraged by the AI industry to scrape web data and train language learning models.
Depends. This year I bought a smart-crap air purifier. It can only be used connected to the manufacturer’s app, connected online.
Except, this smart-crap is powered by an ESP32 system on chip, a very popular development kit amongst DIYers and electronic hobbyists. Some smartass has already created a program to make use off 100% of this air purifier functionalities, connecting only to Home Assistant, completely locally!
Unboxed the thing, tear it down, flash the chip, and BOOM ! Turn the smart-crap into a reasonable Home-Automation device. All thanks to the collective efforts of smart, altruistic people.
I am all for people buying all sorts of smart-crap devices if they hack them and share instructions online :D
I maintain that everyone who buys every pice of smart crap tech is a fucking idiot.

Correction, they’re right ignorant, smart, or very smart.
Ignorant: accepts everything, connects tv to internet.
Smart: Blocks Tv from internet.
Very Smart: removes the WiFi chip from the TV. Stuffs the LAN cable with caulk. Boom, subsidized TV.
Genius: creates their own TV OS for their specific TV and deletes the regular OS.
