Just like anything with technology though, there will be people in the other side too. Does that magic TV with a mind of it's own have a USB port? If they take away the USB , they will have to add some way to maintenance it. There will always be a way to get at the kernel if you know what you're doing.

It's going to become this horrible game of cat and mouse, for anyone who actually values privacy.

Sure, you could open the device up, remove any antennas. You could add powerline filtering. You could find the jtag or debug ports. You could find a way to hack it. Jam a signal. Make an ultrasonic white noise machine. Wrap the thing in foil. Cover the cameras.

The individual has to block every channel of "attack". The data miners only need to get lucky once.
