  You could configure the DNS only on devices that don’t have issues with it rather than the network as a whole?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect they might be talking about a DNS based ad blocking solution. Like Pi-Hole or AdGaurd DNS.

  They work by blocking DNS requests made by ads so the content can never be accessed. They’re theoretically more powerful than browser extensions as they have the opportunity to block ads anywhere.

  I realise that the overlap between Mastodon users and BBC Radio 3 listeners is likely me and me alone but I wish they’d add an account for it.

  I suppose the reasoning behind it would be that 4 & 5 are the talk stations.

  I’ve managed to create marijuana and bong after five minutes of messing with it. Perfect game.

  It works fine for me in Fennec on Android

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Faster than ever: Wi-Fi 7 standard arrives⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was excited for 802.11ac (now Wifi 5) when it first launched and I adopted it early but I’ve never been sold on the need for Wifi 6 let alone 7 now.

  Unlike other folk in this thread I do thankfully have a Gigabit class internet connection but I now own my own home and so have been able to do some very basic Ethernet runs which totally replaces WiFi for 90% of my usage. My Wireless AP just talks to my phone, Steam Deck and a couple smart home gubbins really.

  Did I ever say it was all lies? They’re incredibly capable machines, I’d love to own one. I just take issue with Apple’s lark of transparency in the marketing of the performance of the chips vs competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Aye exactly, Apple’s marketing, which is often basically lying, has a lot to answer for in the prevelence of this idea. They’d have you believe that they’re making chips with 14 billion percent more performance per watt and class beating performance. Whereas in reality they’re very much going toe to toe with AMD and other high end ARM chip vendors
