It was hyperbole to make a point. If you don’t care enough about your privacy to pick a different game or learn a different set of creativity tools, maybe you don’t really care about privacy.
if you set up a pi-hole you aren’t sending any data to Microsoft because you are using Linux though… unless you are talking about server in which there are devices running Windows…
You can totally set it up so that pi-hole is your dhcp/dns server and it will catch any device on your network, even phones and windows machines. I block 60% of the shit coming out of my network.
Last I checked mine was at almost 80%. For a while there I was getting a shitton of traffic from outside that was getting blocked, which lead to a 99% reject rate, though.
Not sure what’s going on with my new room mate’s internet, but yeah that was a wild month of trying to get that all under control
Some shit bag devices (Chromecast were the first I knew about) started hardcoding DNS server addresses and/or using DoH. There are ways to capture those too, I believe.
At a firewall level, no. Any process that will get you OS info would also all you to get the IP. Unless you’re doing it before a DHCP lease assignment.
Set up a pi-hole, cast all requests going to those domains down into tartarus. Then we can go after the data centers.
Run Linux on your desktop. Unless you NEED Adobe or Fortnite, in which case, you deserve to be spied on.
Nobody deserves to be spied on. Get a grip.

What if they use doh/dot or hardcoded ips?

Could you block any outgoing from any windows machine without knowing it’s IP? That could be fun.
