Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems

My webos keeps wanting to update to add AI shit and I keep saying no but it won’t take that as a permanent answer, so every time it turns on it’s required (and if I turn it on with my one and only button on the thing, it takes a while before the prompt goes away and requires remote input).

I’m looking into ways to jailbreak it or something, just family won’t exactly let me do that randomly.

I routed my LGCX by simply going to a website kind of like how you could do that back in the day for iPhones but I don’t think that’s applicable anymore but people are definitely looking into hacking the fuck out of this television so there might be some jailbreak in the future for you

  Yeah that method doesn’t work on newer firmware, but luckily there are newer methods (like dejavuln), and they keep things up to date on available methods and possible versions at cani.rootmy.tv

    Cool, thank you for that, I wonder if I can get any better features with my TV with that new route I’m going to poke around on that website thank you again so much

    Yeah you won’t get any new features from this, it’s just something to hold onto in case you have a need to upgrade the firmware in the future. It’s the same website, but now they’ve expanded it to show other methods unlike what they had a few years back.
    
    dejavuln is actually pretty interesting, plays a fake mp3 that’s actually a script talking advantage of a buffer overflow (I think) in the LG media player app.

    Thank you, I’ll look into it. Mine is probably too updated for the easier methods so this helps

    Yeah the web site vulnerability is likely no good for you, it was patched quite a while back, but methods like dejavuln are very easy to use, just need a USB drive and run the fake mp3 in the LG media player app.

  That’s also how you hacked old consoles back in the days. Early as Dreamcast, lol

Can you DNS block the webos update site?

Buy an apple TV and unplug that shit from the TV.

Is pihole blocking LG dns to that client a good solution here? (prepping for plugging mine back in ha)
