My unproven hypothesis is that everybody's a little nuts, just maybe not clinically so.

The location and orientation of the wipers and high beams always takes a few days to get used to.

For a second I thought tastykakes was your cat's name.

The android app blocks unidentified callers and blacklisted numbers. This doesn't affect calls from spoofed numbers, and I haven't found the app's spam detection to be effective enough.

It depends. Using OPs scenario, if all data, ads and updates, are served from data.samsung.com, then the pi hole can't help. But if ads are served from ads.samsung.com and updates from updates.samsung.com, then you can blacklist the ads while still receiving the updates.

My experience with a Vizio is that the pi is blocking a lot of the "phoning home" connections, but the ads seem to be integrated with the software that allows me to use apps, so I still see them when I use the TV's apps. More and more though, I'm using the HDMI port with my HTPC.

I have a network enabled model from Brother and it's never once shown up on my pi-hole. I'm a fan for life. Will never buy an HP printer again.

My jpeg stopped downloading cause my roommate picked up the phone.

This should be a good one. I'm leaning Sinner to keep the streak going on hard court.

I stopped watching local news when they started having the anchors pitch to ads like they were just another news item.
