The issue here, I’m sorry to say, is that your parents dropped the ball. They were the ones responsible for your health and the safety of your environment.

Sorry about that. I guess I completely missed your point that you were referring to data sharing only via the new “agreement” getting foisted on people. Fingers crossed it doesn’t get into Merlin.

Here are some screenshots from my router administration pages. Notice the “Powered by Asuswrt-Merlin”.

In the first image you can see that I have a particular feature disabled.

When I toggle it on I receive a warning that my information will be collected by Trend Micro.

I included another screenshot showing the location where I would withdraw my consent to having my data collected, were I to actually use the advanced features of the router, that I thought I was paying for at the point of sale. Instead I was apparently paying for the privilege of having the option dangled in front of me, behind an agreement for yet another, separate company to collect my family’s data.

The data sharing happens on merlin too

The data sharing persists even with merlin. I get a prompt about it as soon as I tried to enable those advanced features. I still get updates though.

That’s a good point, I actually have not. I came to that conclusion based on the reviews I’ve read.

I may have purchased that exact item from Amazon a few months ago. It is 100% worth saving up for a bit to purchase something this good. Debian stable is fully supported. It’s currently just my streaming client but it’s pretty powerful and sips power compared to off lease desktops or even laptops.

At this rate I bet it’s cheaper for them to Uber everywhere.

This was very helpful, thank you.

Edit: is the FUTO app restricted in any way until I purchase premium?

Pixel 6a here in the US. I bought it directly from Google. I have the app.

I’m all for progress, I hope it helps people, but I haven’t had any issues with my Nvidia card and my two monitors on Wayland.

Each application can have its own default download location. Reddit apps were particularly bad about that and it may have carried over into lemmy as well. But learning the settings for the software you want to use isn’t a terrible ask.

Moronic or bad faith argument. Why do you even try?

Show me in the rules where I’m required to be internally consistent!

I’m 100% on board with science and evidence based therapies but I’ve had a similar experience with back pain. I won’t let them manipulate my neck at all though.
