Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash

The usual (very simplifed) setup is as follows
VLANs:
- VLAN_Trusted
- VLAN_Untrusted
- VLAN_IoT
Firewall rules:
VLAN_Trusted: Can access everything, WAN (internet) as well as devices on VLAN_Untrusted and VLAN_IoT. Usually, your PC or smartphone is here
VLAN_IoT: can only access WAN (internet), usually connected devices, like smart appliances that you control via their dedicated apps, like Philips HUE lamps, etc.
VLAN_Untrusted: Can not access anything. Usually devices that you don’t want to allow to access anything, Usually TV, or printers to prevent automatic firmware updates.
I hope this helps

Thanks a lot! That is very helpful. I was lost in reading up the details of configuration without understanding of a general concept.
