Hacker reverse engineers his Samsung TV and finds on-device AI listening for your dog and baby, watching what you watch, and borrowing your soundbar’s mic if the TV doesn’t have one. Then OpenAI banned him for reverse-engineering it.

They can hardcode ips. But they are not going to bother
If they hard code an IP for DNS there’s nothing stopping you from just setting a firewall rule to send that traffic to your own DNS server
Except that dns over https is a thing, which would be challenging to pry open
Become ungovernable
Build router, redirect all port 53 to pihole, block port 853 all together, block these IPs

I’m not going to pretend to be a network engineer but DNS over HTTPS is not intended to be used to bypass network restrictions, and as such to remain secure still needs you to match up a domain to an ip address to make your HTTPS request in a secure context. This means that either they (1) hard code in a pairing of ip address and domain, or (2) connect to first a normal dns server using standard ports then use that to get the associated between their secured DNS over HTTPS service. The first is harder to block for sure, the second is probably the way a normal human would implement it and is still largely effective.
