Jeff Swann on Nostr: I would like all communication unnessary to basic function reduced to zero if ...

I would like all communication unnessary to basic function reduced to zero if possible, but mostly I just don't want shitty devices acting as security holes in the local network. I guess I could isolate them to their own network, but I know phones constantly ping everything around them, are these doing the same? I just want a dumb fucking device that plays netflix & hulu or whatever, that I can also link to plex or side load something if I want. Like tv without spyware...?
