It’s wild just how much they’re trying to shove AI down our throats.

So glad I blocked my LG C1 from the internet ages ago. Haven’t received updates in forever, don’t care. It’s a TV, it shows pictures. I even still have it LAN enabled so it can be controlled via Home Assistant automations, it just can never leave the home network, and that’s how I like it. I can’t even remember how long ago I set it up to do this, I think it was when I heard rumor they’d be including ads in the UI, maybe 2023 or so.

That’s interesting - I have a C1 (2021). Where or how do you block these updates and have it connected to your local network?

It’s blocked at my router. I’ve had two routers the past few years, an ASUS AX5700 and a NETGEAR AXE7800 (RAXE300). Both allow for blocking a device from internet without blocking LAN access. So you give it an IP on your network, and then just block it from internet. I don’t know if it’s true, but I’ve read that some TVs will seek to connect to open networks if it’s not connected at all, so I figure that way it’s totally blocked, and I still have access to its APIs for Home Assistant and Homekit use.
