I guess an AOSP-based rom, if one exists for your phone?

Reply to old reply, sorry. Technically blocking the IP isn’t perfect either. In theory, as long as it has the wifi credentials, and your wifi has access to the internet, your TV will be able to access the internet if it really wants to. All it’d have to do is ignore the IP assignment or fake/change a MAC address during DHCP. I don’t know why a “legit” TV would do this, but if you get some unbranded Chinese thing, or if any wifi device wants to be malicious, it can bypass DHCP+IP filters very easily.
- Comment on What kind of valve is this exactly? Never seen that exact connection type 7 months ago:
The house was built 7 years ago, so maybe the plumbers just threw on whatever they had in their van. Do you know what the crimped method/area is called on this thing? Is there a specific term for it?

Unfortunately is has stopped leaking for now. I say unfortunately, because I don’t know when it may start again. It seemed to start to leak when I pulled out the dishwasher, so movement/flexing/etc made it happen. I was unable to determine exactly where it leaked from, but it seemed to pool near the center of the entire valve, so it could have been near the crimped area or the knob area, or maybe even the connection going off to the dishwasher, and the water could have just run down to the lowest bit of the valve.
It’s 1/2" nominal PEX going to a quarter-turn shutoff, to a 3/8 braided dishwasher line. I just didn’t know what to call the weird crimped/connector part on the PEX, and thus how to properly remove it if necessary. All of the PEX crimps that I’ve found online have been very different looking.

Oh, that’s a PEX crimp? Does it have a specific name? Most of the PEX crimps that I’ve found have looked very different.

Oh… I thought this was satirical about gender or something. Not literally saying that those are the two best screws, because NOBODY IN THE WORLD THINKS THAT.

Never connect your smart TV to the internet. Just don’t do it. Get a third party device or ideally use an old PC with an appropriate HTPC Linux distro or something.

Yeah I played S&M and Full Throttle probably once every couple months when I was a kid… how else can you recite every scene from the entire game?
