Walked past a TV and it was advertising a security guard.

Why does a TV need security software?

Because most people (HN is not a representative sample set) are not willing to pay the real price of a TV if it wouldn't be subsidized by adtech.

Windows needs antivirus so why wouldn't a TV? Unfortunately there's a lot of placebo software out there.
