I have a pihole already, so I guess I could use that.
Any idea how much that would block?
And besides the sensors, what data is the OS collecting? Wouldn't the Chromecast collect the same amount of data?
Thankfully, Samsung endpoints should be pretty well covered by blocklists, so I'd say most if not all.
SmartTV OS's record everything you do on the device and create massive databases of metrics about user habits which they then use to target you with ads, and also sell back to companies like Netflix, Discovery, Paramount...etc.
