    I hate to be an I-Told-You-So type of guy, but surely you look at how they handle their tablets and knew it was why these things are so cheap. Honestly the best smart display I’ve seen so far outside of the DIY ones is the Pixel Tablet and that was underpowered as a tablet. It’s funny though, because smart displays will become ubiquitous eventually not just because they’re useful, but because they’re prime real estate; look at the Samsung fridges. I’m guessing more people will have to install a Pi-Hole just to make them bearable.

      I don’t mind being an I-Told-You-So type of guy. My problem is the people who keep ignoring us, then wanting sympathy. You get a couple passes, sure, but at some point, I’m no longer going to waste my time with you.

      Pihole gets less and less effective as more stuff gets encrypted or share domains with the basic functionality of the device.

          No matter how much epoxy you put on a broken condom, it’s not going to work. The moment ads get sent via the same encrypted “tunnel”/connection as the service, you can no longer separate them at the network level.
