  • That’s right, this would mean that the device has an api to activate or deactivate it through WiFi by sending it commands and I can make it unable to connect to the outside internet right?

    Or I can only activate it with the proprietary app that doesn’t even have a working schedule?

    Connecting to WiFi is good when I have full control but not when the manufacturer does

    As far as I know piped gets the video from youtube and serves it to you so that youtube only sees traffic coming from the piped instance you are using. Using adblockers would give you the same benefits as using piped except for the anonymity. As long as tor gives you a good video quality, it is a better option than the frontend because you don’t have a piped instance knowing your traffic.

    I don’t like my traffic being fingerprinted by youtube but can’t handle the slow tor connections so I ended up using a frontend for youtube. The one I use is called Invidious.
