Honestly, fuck Microsoft, I fucking hate their user abusive practices, but I feel like that would be illegal to some degree or at least actionable and some sort of way.

Do you have any evidence that they are collecting that much data in telemetry?

It doesn’t affect it that much. It’s very easy to separate out the bands and to put your iot devices far away from your regular Internet devices.

I’m installing a new Wi-Fi setup soon and I will be putting all of my iot devices on an iot network that is segmented from my main wifi.

I will also be jailbreaking them from tuya and running a local home assistant.

Bit of a hassle but it’s a fun experiment to get my “smart” home set up just for me.

Just tell me your username and password and I’ll tell you if you’ve been hacked

They probably hated the internet, I know I would have

Nope.

I’m not 100% certain. I think the difference is the adguard app also adds in some in system protections in exchange for battery life because it’s always running. I didn’t much care for the app but the DNS service has been perfectly fine for my casual use.

If I were you I would set your phone’s DNS to dns.adguard.com.

You may want to double check that by searching it but adguard has a DNS server that will block the majority of ads from ever hitting your phone regardless of where you are, kind of like having a pi hole on your phone.

I got 93% on mobile with the same setup.

Although I’m not sure if decentraleyes is working
