Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions

if pihole says its blocked, that does not mean your device does not also query another DNS server

and once they should really hardcode the DNS or similar stuff here, the connection will be disabled

but how’ll you notice that? that ads return? different subsystems of the tv might work differently

Once they try to reach IPs directly (ECOVACS once did so) you may block those on a firewall-basis

and how do you know what IPs to block? and then, a server on an IP could hold multiple services such that blocking it breaks multiple things.

I’m not here to tease you, but I really think that this might not be enough even today
