Could you build this?
Partial Many hardening steps are scriptable (DNS blocking, firewall rules, settings toggles), but reliably blocking telemetry and ACR requires network traffic analysis and device-specific knowledge. The claim of verification on one model suggests the device-specific parts are not generalisable.
What it would actually take: The work starts with traffic capture and analysis of the TV to identify telemetry and ACR endpoints, then verifies each block doesn't break features. Reversible changes, a LAN scanner, and an agent-readable interface are relatively easy to vibe-code. Generalising across models and firmware versions needs ongoing reverse engineering.
