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!
I actually had a similar situation. I found out I had a neighbor stealing my wifi a few years ago because of BT shenanigans.
I gave the guest wifi pw to the previous neighbor, who must’ve written it down somewhere. The new neighbor was a douche who kept piggybacking off of it to watch stuff with his shitty little kid, so I’d occasionally get notifications on my network. When I confronted him about it, he got belligerent and threatened violence.
So I paired to his device and blasted porn at full volume.
Well then, just hope that your neighbor doesn’t turn around to pair into your device and blast porn at full volume on your TV, get you pissed off as to WTF you can’t turn it off, end up throwing the whole thing into the Recycle Bin, and look into some kind of CRT TV that can’t be f***ed with like you are also pissed off with the current company that produces the current flat screen stuff.
It’s all good, my dude. I run old school cabling for my devices so I never have to deal with these shenanigans. Plus it’s been over a decade since this happened and I haven’t seen that family since. They left me alone after the incident and were quite civil afterwards.
Also, you okay? You seem quite upset about an anecdote on the Internet that has nothing whatsoever to do with you.
Not sure what anecdote is, but I’m actually quite upset about these shenanigans the companies that produce the current flat screen stuff they allow to happen in the first place.
