Wow, do you have a lot of Amazon devices? That's a lot of calls to Amazon.
Where are the Conviva calls coming from?
Comment on POV) You use Windows 11 and set up Pihole for the first time.

Something is seriously wrong with your Windows 11 install. I have two Windows 11 devices on my network and a Surface Duo 2.

I reckon *Device metrics" is more likely to be from Alexa device
static09@lemmy.world 8 months ago
This would be correct. We have at least 7 amazon alexa/fireTV devices and a bunch of other IoT devices with Alexa capability and each of them get used regularly.
The IoT devices are on their own subnet which doesn’t have access to the other subnets. I live with my mom and Alexa devices just make her life way easier. I put in the work to make sure the alexa and IoT devices are as restricted as possible without losing functionality so she can live a bit easier.

Yeah I figured. I can’t(don’t have will power to) point out the reason for this extremely unusual behavior. I just let it be because no devices are visibly suffering from it though.

Conviva is “video streaming analytics.” Any site with video content is trying to track who uses it, how long they watch, etc.

It freaks me out that it’s sending what users are watching in real time, that’s exactly Spyware.

I read about some smart tvs computing a hash of what’s on screen to phone home about, in attempt with figuring out what content a user is watching when that content is 3rd party controlled.
We need some privacy laws up in this mother fucker.
