Thanks DoD! While you’re at it let’s keep SCCM around for another 50 years! Woooo!
When Spotify came online I tried it and it immediately killed the fun around music. Less about the actual music, more about building out playlists. This was all for casual listening. The good stuff was at the clubs anyway.
Pihole is great for DNS filtering but doesn’t hide elements, no filtering and script blocking.
Micro$lop it is!
Wonder how this works in a byod corp environment?

This reminds of the time Data started performing with the violin…
Kiss too. Kiss was a merch juggernaut.
Backdoor no? “Lawful” sure ;)

Love seeing pop up like it’s new or something.
That’s cool but I just have a feeling that the Supreme Court will be like hold my beer and poof 4th DOES support this.

I think zfg is a measurable quantity.

So what if it’s Dave Plummer? The name doesn’t make the post any stronger. The problem with his screenshot is the lack of context — network usage by itself doesn’t prove anything malicious or even unusual. Devices like Echo Shows pull constant updates, stream visuals, cache media, and maintain active connections. That can easily add up to gigabytes, even if the owner never directly ‘uses’ them. Acting shocked about it without explaining the why just turns into clickbait.
And all defaults set? Yeah you’re gonna have a bad time.

But in the end you have a 3rd party passive listening device. Depends if you trust that 3rd party I guess.
