every single smart tv have had microphones in the remote (because mics on the tv would be useless, see how much Amazon and google had to spend on their home-bugs) since day one. 30yrs now?
This is one of the ways they can target ads, and why smart TVs are the only TVs now and didn’t demand much of a premium during the transition.
It’s also why I won’t connect my TV to my network.
