Interesting. And I assume this is an issue on Windows too?

Can you explain the issues with Jellyfin? Idk about any of this. What are the issues?

Interesting. Got it. Pihole is helpful as you said. Also maybe set a firewall rule for vlc not be able to connect to the wider Internet.

So you put the physical disk in and it plays through vlc player on your pc?

If so, are you sure it was vlc that pinged the domain and not the bluray player?

Was this like an iso file of the disk that you played played in vlc? And you’re saying it tried to ping that telemetry domain? I’m not quite understanding the context here.

Bruh if you’re going to post an article, especially an inflammatory one, at least read the damn article in full before posting it?

I’ve talked to numerous people who have modern Samsung QD OLED and Mini LED TVs and literally not a single one has ever mentioned an issue like this. I’m incredibly skeptical of your claim.

I’ve talked to many people who have modern samsung qd oleds and I’ve literally never heard that once. I’m pressing x to doubt

How so? What do you mean?

All these companies are equally shit ha. Also i’ve found that you can block a lot of the telemetry on all these OS’ with Pihole.

I hope you don’t think actually think that Google doesn’t do the same shit.

Every single SmartTV OS does this fyi.

Literally every smartTV OS does this. Roku isn’t special. They all collect image metadata, at least by default.

If it’s one thing I’ve noticed about Lemmy, this platform loves to repost FUD articles and exaggerated the absolute living shit out of them. Just visit the Firefox community and you’ll see what I mean.
