The function is activated when a user of a stolen TV or one that has been acquired unlawfully connects to the internet, according to Samsung. How many people connect TV to internet? Now they even made it public so people won't Connect to internet. DUMB 5 Likes |

thebosstrevor1: Most people buying a smart tv in South Africa needs it to be able to connect to the Internet. There are fibre Internet in S.A. Moreover, its cheaper for so many folks to connect to their Internet and enjoy showmax, Netflix, hulu, etc, rather than subscribing to dstv. Dstv isn't a big deal in S.A, everyone wants to connect their tv to the Internet. Selling those tvs cash is also very difficult in S.A. People in S.A often buy electronics, and pay back in installments, like paying back R300/month. Most people are not ready to cough out R8, 000 rand for a tv cash. 13 Likes 1 Share |

jaxxy: Yes it is. The enjoyment in such TVs is actually your ability to watch streamed programmes via Netflix, Hulu etc. |

DSoj: Smart tvs are all over the place in south africa, and they are connected to the internet. Even in the villages, they connect their tvs to the internet. Dstv isn't a big deal in S.A. Moreover, its cheaper for people to use Internet tv, than dstv in S.A. An optic fibre Internet often cost R450/month, unlimited Internet access. Dstv cost about R450 for non premium plan. Since they have Internet, why pay for dstv then? Nobody wants to buy a function less smart tv in South Africa. 5 Likes |

In future it will be near impossible to steal appliances and other items like cars. That's because they will have chips, IP addresses and 5G coverage. This means they will be part of the internet and their data including their operations, location and maintenance will be accessed remotely. Zillions of devices will be connected to the 5G (or higher) network. 4 Likes |

TMKsouth: His explanation was the dumbest thing I read that month. How he just walked into the looting, saw the basket on the floor and he picked it up straight into his "dad's car". Mhen, that was an intense and uncertain time in SA. 4 Likes 1 Share |
