I don't think that was even asserted, much less proven. The mic usage is almost certainly for the built in voice assistant. The dog and baby detection is for publicly announced features:…
It'd be trivial to prove and yet it has never been proven. I'll give you three guesses why, and the first two don't count.
I doubt any TV company will ever do this, for two reasons. The first is simply that it would be obvious due to FCC filings. The second is that 99% of their customers hook their TV up to the internet so they can use…
There really wasn't a lot of new information in the Gamer's Nexus video. Most of what people think is new is people conflating what is possible vs what LG does and people conflating what is possible on a rooted TV vs…
We don't really have any idea what was in his sessions or why he was suspended. It might have been a false positive in their automated system, or maybe he ranted at the model about how he was going to "destroy" Samsung…
If they wanted to know if you had dogs or babies and wanted to spy on you, they'd just transcribe the audio. People that have dogs or babies talk about them. Going to the effort to detect these and advertise it as a…

The highest bitrate UHD Blu-ray supports is 144mbit/s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_HD_Blu-ray. A one gigabit NIC is not even close to the biggest compromise on this system.
You should assume it will not work unless you test it regularly. That's a big part of why having active/active multi-region is attractive, even though it's much more complex.
My guess is that skywhopper is correct. We're only able to see the tail end of the attack, but the repo was likely compromised in some way.
Another thing to note, the AI angle on this is nonsensical. The commit could have just as easily done many other negative things to the system without AI as a layer of indirection.
Your article breathlessly blames AWS for being reckless while having no real facts about the compromise. The whole thing reads like click bait.
Ah, I think it might have been this, which was reverted and seems to have been pushed directly to master: https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-vscode/commit/678851bbe97...
The prompt 404 quotes in the article doesn't appear to exist anywhere in the git history for the repo they point to. It seems unlikely that Amazon would rewrite git history to hide this. Maybe the change was in a repo…
