minus-squarecomrade_twisty@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25arrow-down2·2 months agoSome have esims and 4/5g modules installed already for “telemetry”.
minus-squareorcaAlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·2 months agoI have AdGuard running on the router as a preventative measure, and it’s an older Samsung Q65 that doesn’t have any confirmed 5g modules. I should probably block its MAC address for added security though.
minus-squareThunderbird4@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 months agoI’ve read that DNS level blocking often doesn’t stop this kind of telemetry because it goes directly to an IP without a DNS query involved.
minus-squarerollerbang@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·2 months agoFor real? You’ve got a source for that? Because that’s probably not cheap to do for continued use.
minus-squarePushButton@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 months agoI worked with IoT devices with a “5g” radio. The company had to pay a cellular contract just like anybody else. I HIGHLY doubt LG is going to pay for that.

minus-squareorcaAlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoThat’s wild. I guess I need to do a review of my setup…
minus-squarepHr34kY@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoIt’s completely isolated from my own network. Ironically, it would almost be safer to put my TV on it instead of my home network. The annoying thing is that if I have a dedicated clanker VLAN, I can’t cast to my TV.
minus-squareAqarius@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoYeah, I already blocked it from half the internet, as soon as I figure out casting it’s getting cut off completely.

Hey, good catch. I didn’t think of that.
