  • It could even grab metadate of every traffic in your wifi

    Nah it’s on a separate vlan

    It probably has a temperature sensor (knows when you open your windows). It probably has a movement sensor hence beeing able to grab vibration data…like do you walk around, when, how much, more than one person.

    To what end?

    It could also act as part of a DDoS attack or be used as a domestic ip proxy.

    Maybe. Being a major brand I’m sure some network nerds would notice these kind of packets at some point. But that’s probably the most realistic.







  • Just like on reddit there was /r/technology and /r/tech… Which do you choose?

    Choose the bigger one of course. That’s all. On Lemmy they can have the same name but the search feature shows how many subscribers there are. It’s pretty clear usually which to pick.

    But everyone can see all of them and it’s not a big deal if you post to a smaller community because a ton of Lemmy users look at the All feed so it will show up anyway.
