Yes and no. Supposedly the resolution is not in 4K or even 1080p, but something much lower that is still enough to identify content, like shows, movies and ads, but not enough to make out minute detail.

Says who?

You are allowed to take screenshots of Netflix, even under the DMCA on DRM protected material. You are not allowed to use it commercially though. Personal use only.

No, the point here is that if you use the “smart” features, which includes running apps from their appstore, like Netflix or Disney+, it will not send the data. But if you connect your laptop via HDMI and then play Netflix in your browser, it will, because it’s not smart enough to recognize and differentiafe video and audio data coming in through that port. I don’t think it matters if it’s a DRM enabled browser or not. It should be acting as a second monitor only in those cases, nothing more.

Did you go beyond the headline?

They found the smart TVs did not appear to upload any screenshots or audio data when streaming from Netflix or other third-party apps, mirroring YouTube content streamed on a separate phone or laptop or when sitting idle. But the smart TVs did upload snapshots when showing broadcasts from the TV antenna or content from an HDMI-connected device.

Not to mention that wind turbines and solar parks are faster to set up AND scalable. A nuclear plant is neither.
