They dont need to know any commands.

Everything in Linux is point and click. There's an app store where you'll find everything you'll need. You will not need to open the terminal at all. All drivers will get installed through the OS.

Only things which do not work are the keyboard software and stuff to map macros to your keys and/or mouse buttons ans tweak the colours. Like the Razor software.

Distros like Ubuntu, popos, Linux mint are incredibly beginner friendly. There are, without a doubt, others.

They didn't need to know any cmd/powershell commands using windows and they definitely don't need to know how to use a Linux terminal to browse/mail/install software on Linux.

I am stealing this.

We do this to find criminals, drugsdealers, paedophiles and terrorists. MEPS are never part of any of those groups.

Rules for thee and not for me.

Well. Now seems to be a good time to be ashamed to be Belgian.

Shameful politicians :(

Windows: does something privacy invading bad

Google: why didn't I think of that? Hold my beer

And fucking fine them to infinity for it. Why would they not do something like this again if all they have to do is say "my bad bro".

I mean my Asus router models aren't supported by merlin. Only 1 of them functions as an actual router.

But that's the point. You, the 15 year old, never click or see the box. Your data is harvested because somebody somewhere else agreed to it.

It's like giving any website the right to farm your data because somebody else on the same shared IP clicked accept all.

I'm also totally okay not having to send any identity data over the net. I fully agree there. It's just their standpoint of "let an admin click it and we can farm everybody's data behind that device" seems like a very unstable legal standpoint.

Then again. I'm not a lawyer and the law doesn't work based on how lawful i feel something is or should be.

I'd rather update it as well. But the routers are behind my ISP router and aren't externally accessible. The attack surface is smaller in that regard. I'm not happy with the thought of an unpatched router. Maybe I can hold out long enough for merlin to support my routers.

I dont think the latest few updates I did mentioned any security updates. Only bugfixes.

I'll tackle the problem when it presents itself I guess.

Routers aren't supported by merlin unfortunately :(

Is the train of thought that if the adult approves they can harvest data from minors regardless? It harvests data from anybody using the internet, not just person handling the settings. It doesn't seem legal that the data harvest agreement binds all users in a household rather than the one managing the settings?

Is that legal in Europe? is it legal to suddenly semi brick a device if you dont allow them to data harvest? Is it really considered giving consent freely when the device you paid $$ for suddenly no longer does 90% because you disagree with sudden data harvest practices?

I can understand a feature not working because you disagree on sharing something. E.g: can't tell you which pizza place is near you if you dont share your location.

But this? I hope it's illegal and they get sued into oblivion for this. This is super invasive.

Same :(
