If you get a pihole or related project, you can see what packets are going in and out. It's eye opening what is pulling what.

Especially smart TVs. They’re especially chatty, accounting for something like 85% of network calls (all blocked).

Yup. It's disgusting how much your devices send home about you. Unfortunately no one in my household cares. I show them the data and they ask me to whitelist their devices.
