I think for the TVs internal wifi, it’s better to create a honeypot Wi-Fi exclusively for it, or a VLAN. It will constantly try to send data and fail. If we don’t let it connect to anything, the TV might start sniffing for other open networks.
TV: mamma mia!
but the smart fridge in your upstairs neighbor’s kitchen could still be helping with smuggling your data out
I can understand that if you have a Samsung TV and a Samsung fridge, they can talk with each other. But will it work if you have a fridge from a different OEM? (I’m assuming the OEMs haven’t formed a cartel for illegal data smuggling)
This is why you need to do DNS hijacking to handle hardcoded DNS requests.
Sorry for being paranoid but can the TV piggyback the connection used by the the streaming device/android box to send data back to the TV OEM?

One of my seniors uses xls as a word processor. I screamed but Teams was on mute.
Based Linus strikes again
It’s a good thing that no serious company uses excel spreadsheets to manage their data, right? Right?
Is this via SIM cloning?
Gaben behind Covid-19 confirmed?
Fair enough. What we desperately need is proper social media / modern internet education right from middle school level. Identifying dark patterns, echo chambers, bot/human impersonators, fake news. I feel like this awareness is missing in both youngsters and boomers.
I was a normie once. I too fell for misinformation in the past. If it wasn’t for the freely available information on the internet, I wouldn’t be here today.
enjoy the mainstream memes and discussion, but avoid the algorithmic content slop from them. That’s how I see the fediverse. It’s a win in my book.
I am interested in knowing what’s the bandwidth to transmission power ratio of the device. If it’s low enough, it would be revolutionary for IoT devices.
The only pure-linux issues that I have faced in the last few years are due to Wayland. And it’s not an issue, it’s just the legacy application has not yet embraced Wayland yet. Otherwise it has been smooth sailing for me.
I haven’t seen many mentions of Nobara but you can try it out.
It’s essentially a gaming-centric version of Fedora. I was in your position a few weeks back and decided upon thing. Latest drivers and packages.
Many routers have a functionality to create a guest wifi. These usually run on a separate VLAN so that it can’t access other devices on the network. After creating this guest wifi, you have manually disable internet access on this but keep the wifi on.
Unfortunately the process varies between router to router.
