you don’t need to expose it. set up wireguard and have fun much more safely

sorry what, it can keep a location history? how?

the “it doesnt record you until the software decides so” argument is such a bullshit. does not mke any difference. it listens when it wants, and you cant even verify it

Honestly I think not being able to go online might be beneficial for the kid until they’re 16+.

or in a very controlled, supervised way, so that they may see the useful part of the internet and learn to use it, without getting dragged down by social media.

that’s how it works on desktop too regarding DNS, but when it receives a response from a new IP, it should send future traffic there as I know

AI is unreliable and also too easy to influence. you really don’t want this. just like online voting, because you can’t secure that, there’s no way to make sure it’s actually you who have selected actually the option you wanted, and not some program are acting in your name.

but how will they do diagnostics without the car maker’s diagnostic tool?

that’s interesting. do you perhaps also know what the si param contains?

better buy ECC memory next time!

the question was what else to buy, because the alternatives I know are not exactly better…

Don’t forget that even if you can disable its network connection (which is still an important step to avoid remote control shenanigans), the data collection may still continue, and if that’s the case the make’s diagnostic software will forward it to the cloud the next time your car is at service. I’m afraid that can’t be avoided.

but I found I spent way too much time trying to manage RAM and tuning it,

I spent none, and it works fine. what was your issue?

e-waste? a lot of networks dont need anywhere near gigabit. Especially because at a lot of places around the world even the ISP can’t provide that bandwidth for internet, but this applies to internal networks too. in a lot of cases a 100 mbps capable managed switch (which a router can be, even if with limitations) is enough

If I can flash OpenWRT on to an older router then it becomes useful again.

well, only if it has more than 4 MB storage, 8 MB RAM. I’m practically swimming in older routers that can’t even pass that requirement, and even today the cheaper, that is, more affordable options are still near that for some fucking reason.

its not openwrt. its openwrt based, with proprietary modifications, from a country where saying no to planting a backdoor is not an option.

everyone is better off just flashing the open source firmware themselves. both with gl.inet and other brands, but I would say the same for openwrt’s own router-like device too due to supply chain attacks

then what? the brand thats owned by a chinese company, and even designs not just the software but the hardware too according to Chinese interests, tp-link?
or the one that requires online registration to access the setup page (and so to replace the firmware) that is netgear?

genders are not defined by shape of the human but by biology

It’s a bit ironic that on the forum the poster did not remove the tracking parameters from the google drive link

I don’t understand. isn’t this the thing that would help get rid of surveillance based personalized ads?
