PSA, HDMI carries ethernet, so you depending on the device you connect your TV to, it might get internet access without your knowledge.



This come up every time, and yet I have never seen an actual demonstration or example of this. HDMI can carry Ethernet, sure, but you honestly think an (for example) Apple TV is going to let arbitrary devices use its network connection? You gotta show that it even implements the spec first.


I don't have to do any of those things.

I am not going to address all the fallacies in your comment. Whether you have seen an example of it is immaterial to what the HDMI spec says.
