Yup. It’s disgusting how much your devices send home about you. Unfortunately no one in my household cares. I show them the data and they ask me to whitelist their devices.

Neat! So if I put my phone in the microwave it will reset the battery?

Yeah, this doesn’t seem like that big of a deal for most people here. They kept the price down as long as possible. I spent $119 just before the 'rona hit and I think it’s been well worth it.

I can’t imagine that happening with today’s systems. Yes, it’s theoretically possible. It just seems unlikely that they’d go through the trouble of denying service to someone who didn’t fetch data from one specific domain but did get it from another.

Install a Pihole server on your network. It’s a DNS filter. When a client tries to access a domain that has been blacklisted (ie a known ad or tracker domain), it denies the lookup.

On my roku homescreen it just has an empty placeholder where it tried to put the ad, but my Pihole server denied it.

PiHole.

No, but plex has terrible support for audiobooks.

But how will I bring up my NAS in conversations at parties?
