Sure, those could theoretically be used for backdoor access to your computer.
However, they are trivial to spot on most routers. If you see another device on the ethernet port that your computer connects to, then something weird is going on.
Another important consideration is the fact that those technologies are meant for ethernet, while most people use laptops with wifi.

I am so sorry to hear that. I run the Margit profile in your instance, but I wasn’t aware of your plans to shut it down.

There is no particular selling point. That’s why they force it.

Sure, if your router supports DoH or DoT. Most consumer routers don’t. I know that Mikrotik supports it out of the box, and OpenWRT has a package for that.

Would hosting in Albania be a solution? It’s in the Europe continent, but it’s not a member of European Union. UK is also fighting encrypted communications.

- Comment on EU: These are scary times – let's backdoor encryption! 1 month ago:
My question is: even if EU manages to apply laws for backdooring encryption, wouldn’t cybercriminals just use different tools? They may force Signal to backdoor its encryption, but what about Briar? Will they backdoor the Tor network? Will they ban it entirely? What about Matrix? They can’t prevent offshore encrypted instances.

- Comment on OpenWrt Two will be a higher-performance router with 10 Gigabit LAN and WiFi 7 support - Liliputing 2 months ago:
Are you too used to Cisco devices? Mikrotik routers also have multiple ethernet ports, that are not connected to an internal switch.
- Comment on OpenWrt Two will be a higher-performance router with 10 Gigabit LAN and WiFi 7 support - Liliputing 2 months ago:
People reading about OpenWRT based network devices, probably know about their needs. They are usually already looking for devices with OpenWRT support, without being too expensive.
Also, people not knowing about Lemmy is completely irrelevant on this context. I highly doubt that all friends on the network engineering field know about Lemmy, but they surely know whether they need 10g or not. Besides that, you are talking about people not knowing about Lemmy ON Lemmy.

Will that minipc have those 10g/5g/2.5g ethernet ports? If you don’t need that ethernet bandwidth, we all know there are cheaper options.

- Comment on Europe bets on RISC-V for homegrown supercomputing platform 2 months ago:
There is no reference to it, but most semiconductors-making equipment is manufactured by a Dutch company named ASML. However, I don’t know how useful this will be for EU to transition to RISC-V.

- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 3 months ago:
The question is: do we want people to leave corporate services, and join the fediverse, or not? By showing such hostility towards such “crybabies” we will never get any traction.
We are facing a problem. “Crybabies” are arguing about lack of content and/or difficulty on signing up. People on Lemmy are arguing that they don’t want such users in their communities. Other people, thinking of onboarding, may not join after seeing hostile users like you.

I wish I could. However, the device belongs to the company. And sometimes we need the cameras. We used to have Thinkpads with built-in switch-like mechanism that blocks the webcam, but the newer laptops have their camera exposed.

It was an honest question. I have seen various other horrible features, like Glassdoor allowing paying employers to remove negative ratings, so I freaked out a bit in case Teams has hidden features as well.
I know this is shitpost, but since there was another indication of such feature existing (although untrustworthy - the Brave Search’s AI summary), I wanted to confirm.

Since the answer of the AI seemed misleading, I asked here to confirm.
