I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD**
we live in hell
I don't even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they're saying....hey do you want a worse experience?

Pretty sure that's straight up against the law. IANAL tho.
Amazon already built it: https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Sidewalk
Apple HomeKit does something similar with BLE devices - if your phone goes out of range, they'll connect to the closest Apple TV or HomePod to get internet access

That's exactly how air tags work currently.
No itโs not, AirTags are just Bluetooth beacons. When an iPhone or other apple device picks them up, the location data is uploaded to Appleโs servers and then sent to whoever owns the AirTag. Thereโs no two-way communication and the owner of the AirTag doesnโt get any personal info from the devices picking it up.
