  • I think there may be an issue with language support here. It seems that once a movie is fetched and stored on the instance, the metadata stays permanent. It would be easier if every item were tracked using a universal identifier, such as IMDb.

  • This seems great, but I don’t fully understand how it works with the Fediverse. Instead of everything being local, can I now share what I’ve watched with others and see their comments as well?

  • Microsoft is also constantly changing how stuff works, intertwining stuff so you can’t fully remove without breaking functionality. You used to get media expansion packs (stuff like av1, avif and webp support) through updates or you could download them from their site or use a Powershell command to install them, now you are forced to do it through the MS Store, and guess what happens if you uninstall the MS Store? (at least, a few months ago when I got a new Win11 install, removing MS Store removed the packages). Probably a lot of Edge removing tools are broken by now too, if you watch your network you gonna see Microsoft Edge WebView 2 calling tons of domains all the time, and if you remove it you kill your internet connection entirely (you can, however, block it on the firewall. It used to be just one service, but with some recent update it’s four different services you have to block now).

  • simplewall/Portmaster can completely cut the communication of Adobe, Nvidia and whatever other program you use, so you’d technically look like you are offline to them

    Thank you. I believe this is the best option for now. As I don't use their online service this would work well for me. But I'm not sure about driver updates

  • Thank you. This tool is great for some windows tweak.

    I use the official website to download drivers, but it seems they only provide packages like AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition or NVIDIA App for installing the drivers. How can I install only the drivers without the additional bundled software?

  • at the network level in your house, having a DNS block level service is great. Pihole and adguard come to mind. This solution is more involved and requires more time to setup, but has tremendous benefits not only on windows telemetry, but overall network telemetry

    Are there any on-device tools you could recommend? My laptop won’t always be connected to my home Wi-Fi, and some telemetry could still occur when it’s connected to other networks without my DNS configuration.

    Do keep in mind is certainly possible for the system in places to use hardcoded DNS and ignore your options (at network level, you can always force to reroute to your local DNS. The case of DoH is a bit more tricky)

    Thank you. I’m concerned that if the IP addresses of their servers change and the traffic blocker doesn’t update in time, some information from my device could still be transmitted. For the reasons you have listed and changing IP addresses of their servers , I have some doubts about relying on traffic blockers alone.
