#LG hat mal eben seine neuen Datenschutzrichtlinien auf dem #TV präsentiert. Bei #Zustimmung wird alles was geschaut wird per #ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) an #LG und #Alphonso.tv übermittelt. Und deren Werbepartner. Wenn ich das nicht tue, werden die #Apps gesperrt. Mal schauen was das #pihole dazu sagt. Hat noch jemand nen Tipp für einen genehmen #Prime/#Netflix/#Disney Player? #FCKLGE #KrichHals @noybeu

Wusstet Ihr,
dass #SmarteFernseher Euer Nutzungsverhalten überwachen

EGAL was ihr gerade mit dem #TV macht - ob Ihr zockt oder TV schaut. Dazu machen die Dinger alle paar Sekunden einen SCREENSHOT vom Bild auf dem TV und senden es an die #Gerätehersteller

"By understanding what viewers watch and engage with, marketers can make decisions on content recommendations to create bespoke advertising placements. They can also track advertisements that lead to purchases.

But the most disturbing part is the potential for exploitation. In the wrong hands, sensitive information gathered through ACR could be exploited or misused, which may result in security risks or, at worst, identity theft.

Because ACR operates clandestinely in the background, many of us aren't even aware of its active presence each time we're enjoying our favorite shows. Opting out of using ACR is complex and sometimes challenging. Navigating through your TV settings might take several dozen clicks to protect your privacy better.

If you, like me, perceive this feature to be intrusive or unsettling, there's a way to dismiss this data collection feature on your smart TV. It might take some patience, but below is a How-To list for five major brands demonstrating how to turn off ACR."

Holy fuck you Samsung. This ACR shit has been turned on for my TV for years. Two images processed every viewing second to target ads for us for years now. I consider myself fairly tuned into this sort of abuse but fuck me, this one went over my radar. It has finally been disabled.

Drop everything now and see this article for how to disable it on your TV.

Second up on the first Symphonic Monday of 2025, a bit of Manchester. Not really symphonic, but swimming in minimalist music. The band later complained that they were made to sound too much like Joy Division …

Adobe’s Promising Generative AI Tools Have Room to Grow for Photographers

‘When Adobe debuted the Firefly-powered Generative Remove tool in Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw in May as a beta feature, it worked well much of the time. However, Generative Remove, now officially out of its beta period, has confusingly gotten worse in some situations’

British anticapitalist group calls for ecosocialist movement

@AntiCapitalistResistance

* 2023-08-23 appeal by Anticapitalist Resistance: https://anticapitalistresistance.org
* capitalism destroying planet's ecosystem for profit
* we must build international ecosocialist movement rooted in working class to:
expropriate businesses
end imperialism & borders
transform economy to prioritize human need w/i planetary limits

Using Lightroom / ACR for converting raw files is like having a michelin star dinner, but mopping the floor with it, before eating.
If photographing anything with human (skin) or fashion, there is no alternative to capture one.
My take on 90% of all YouTube camera reviews and picture quality.
