I think you mean router, since you would most likely not set DNS on a modem (unless it’s a combo) — but yes I would look into getting something better that you have more control over.

Edit: gotta love new Lemmy clients that spam comment replies 🤦‍♂️

I have spectrum and they don’t forcibly route anything for me.

You must have either their modem maybe? Or you have the DNS helper setting where if you mistype a url it redirects you.

Either way there is a way to disable it because it doesn’t happen for me and hasn’t in the many years I’ve had them across the country.

This man just generalized 8 billion peoples’ dreams.

Are you opposed to using browser-mod? You can hide the sidebar and force a default dashboard.

Settings can be per-user so “default” setting would be no sidebar, and your user could have the sidebar enabled.

I promised to report back, so here we go.

It’s not instant so you cannot use “Walk into room activations” — Apple Watches are super finicky to get sensing properly

But overall I really like it. It helps me and the wife know where each other are in the house (my office is in basement hers is on second floor), I have some automations that I have hooked up to location. Example, my dog needs a pill at 9am and 9pm every day, so if someone goes into the kitchen at 8:45-8:59 it sends a reminder to handle the pill then. If that hasn’t been sent at 9pm then it reminds both of us.

Definitely neat, but entirely skippable for most people. It’s not going to be very effective for much other than “oh she’s in the bathroom I won’t disturb her”

I’m not worried about it. I’m not worried about any of this! There’s worse shit on the news.
