LG TVs boot Linux and have plenty of capabilities. Why would they not ... take a look around at the environment ... to best enhance ... your errr experience.

LG are amongst equals here. I've seen devices (TVs/cameras) do ping sweeps and then port scans.

I have two VLANs at home: THINGS for IoT and SEWER for things that look really dodgy.

I drive a (Seic) MG4 EV. I use the Home Assistant integration for that and put up with the rest. To be fair I live in the UK and we are quite efficiently ... observed.
