I recently quit a company that does. They hid that until after I accepted and started. I quit out of frustration after a couple weeks of having to listen the the fan all day due to their surveillance and telemetry running. They even disabled sleep mode, so you either had to leave that thing phoning home 24/7, or forcibly shut down every day. 10 minute boot time on a brand new laptop.
On the topic of load time, it didn't even mention the compulsory "prove you are human" Cloudflare gate on practically every website these days. Add 10 seconds to every visit.
They are equal. I used pihole before, but wanted something with less management overhead and something easier to manage for devices family members use.
This is insulting, both in how little it is to them, but also how little it is in proportion to the revenue made just by the fee scam in the first place. It; not even a slap on the wrist, it wreaks of them bribing the DOJ. If it doesn't hurt, it's just a fee (to them), not a crime.
Also, they'll just pass these costs on to their customers, of course.
Yeah, guess they didn't destroy Iran's "whole navy". It's going to turn out to be that these were fishing boats, and probably not Iranian ones, to boot.
Or doing what auto MFG's do, add low bandwidth cellular service so they can directly get telemetry if you don't give it internet. I don't know if the economics of it scale with the TV price points, but they'd just bake that into the price and people would be unwittingly buing their own surveillance/ad machines anyways (like new phones, computers, etc.).
So when Facebook wins their case that basically says "it's only copyright theft when ordinary people do it", Anna's Archive gets a pass, right? I'm assuming Facebook stole some of their training data from there, so fruit of the poisoned tree and all that jazz.
I've been using Waterfox for a year or so, after I got tired of the broken update process for Librewolf on MacOS. No regrets.
