This should be a web site or YT channel. How to remove such bits without bricking the item.
Looking up which part to nuke took an hour, but anything to calm down my paranoid ass haha
“Oh good, he fell for the decoy”
oh no
Could you share your knowledge here? I clicked this thread expecting to find instructions to help us follow your advice.
While it’s not always the case, try to look for a 2x4 silver rectangle with a hole in it like the one on my finger. The casing is to isolate it from the nearby radio waves and the hole to let sound through.
If you want to know
allsome of the ways your audio can be spied on.Benn Jordan on audio spying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEC6PM97IRI

Things will become more obscure and harder to disable. In fact since you own nothing and you’ll be happy, youre damaging government property and the police are already dispatched to take you to a totally cool and totally legal prison slave camp.
Nah they won’t send the cops, you just gotta drink a verification can
I thought that greentext was so outrageous when it first appeared, and now its probably going to be reality at some point.
Youtube asking you to say the brand name or the jingle to skip the add. You heard it here first
I’ll go down swinging with my hoarded DDR3 sticks
Remotes aren’t complicated enough to hide the microphone. It’s more likely that tvs ditch the remote entirely and be voice controlled only, mute people be damned.
Anyone know when this started becoming ominous? I’m sure every TV in the sixties didn’t have a microphone on their remotes; I am sure pretty much each one being released today has.
The last TV I had was a 37 inch I sold in 2020. I stopped watching TV in 2003. I have been terminally online since late 2000 and 2001.
Or just buy a cheap 3rd party off brand universal remote. Dont have to use the one that comes with the TV
Do people here still have their smartphones or are these things the first on the microphone hitlist?
GrapheneOS my brother
Yea, im stuck with not flashable phones sadly amd everytime i read something on here I get kinda sick
The Pixel 9a is getting cheap and looking for them on the used market is even better, do yourself the favor and get one!
my shitphone, I mean iphone is really pissed that the case (water resistant) I have blocks mic, and well the audio as well lol. And the aluminum tape on the cameras makes it glitch up so much.

It’s so f’ing simple. JUST DON’T CONNECT YOUR TV TO YOUR WIFI. Get your streams from a separate device.
Yeah, that’s what i did, but i had to dig through menus turning shit off because I kept getting pop-ups telling me it needed to connect to the Internet.
tossed mine in the trash when i learned it wanted a bluetooth connection to the tv
I think ill just jeep using my LCD from 2007
Yeah, that’s probably the smart move
Just curious, what kind of batteries are powering the remote and if rechargeable, how often does it need charging? Not saying they wouldn’t do such things, still a good preventative measure, but I’d be surprised if it could sustain telemetry with only the power of AAA batteries in a typical remote.
Two AAA batteries and they weren’t changed in a year so yeah, ouch.
What? Because I have to Open my control, I understand almost nothing about technology. Don’t tell me it has a chip that controls ever
No, you’re all getting it wrong.
Collect books, and use the microplastic that you have ingested over the years to build a water-tight caccoon in a cave to protect them.
Everything else simply requires rocks and/or genitalia. Or the absence of rocks and/or genitalia.
Such is a way.
Another solution is to cover the mic with some thick gum that can be easily removed. Then it can be sold as it was later.
Why would anyone want to buy your used gum?
You just remove it when selling the remote?
Sell the gum, toss the remote
Is it really as much of a privacy problem as TV microphones? After all wouldn’t the battery die?
Well this remote is connected to the TV via Bluetooth and the mic is super energy efficient so yeah, to hell with it
