I got the notification and I read the fine print. I will have to turn off any future updates from here on out.
Pi hole and block LG’s servers. You can’t just opt out. It will wait for a power outage to opt you back in or “critical security patch” and they’ll force it anyway.
I have pihole network wide and one of the lists I added is https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/master/SmartTV.txt .
I guess I will have to review those lists.
