I feel like more people should know about this, specially the tech-native Lemmy audience that may be using Adguard DNS.

What was the ASUS privacy update? In the router settings page? I haven't seen it yet but I don't use any of their extra services

I got a notification on my phone, opened it, and was hit with the privacy practice update. Clicked deny, was hit with a warning my device would be crippled. Port forwarding and other features would no longer work and I would not get feature updates.

I'm getting ready to install the Merlin asuswrt ROM to give them a huge "fuck you" and possibly get access to features I chose not to use due to the data collection they have. Basically, they probably noticed that few activated the honey pot features and chose to just force the surveilance on us all.
