That's one of the reasons I'm hoarding now.

I was doing that for a while until I came across this. I liked the idea of completely removing Roku better.
From this link:
"A factory reset returns the TV to its original, out-of-the-box state.Β Performing a factory reset will remove all stored personal data relating to your settings, network connections, Roku data, and menu preferences."
This is more for people like me who already have one and still need to use it as a monitor, but want to make sure that Roku never collects another bit of data from us.
I couldn't find a Community community on Lemmy, so I made one. Come join me and the one other person who's subscribed so far.
I've seen plenty of wait staff show up to defend tipping in Reddit threads. They'd rather shame customers than demand fair wages from their employers. Or maybe they were all just bots.
The location and orientation of the wipers and high beams always takes a few days to get used to.
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 stopped watching local news when they started having the anchors pitch to ads like they were just another news item.
