Microsoft’s Bing API services (the source of DuckDuckGo’s search data) went down at approx 3am ET and has not yet returned to service. Bing, DuckDuckGo, CoPilot, ChatGPT and more are unable to use the Bing services so in turn are also not working or not working fully.

A new way of gerrymandering.

If Haier is claiming that the integration is causing them financial harm it means that their app is collecting your private data and they are selling it.

I run a Unifi USG-1 router/gateway now but before that I got a used AC1000 router from the thrift store for $5 and loaded OpenWRT on that. I eventually got an Aris modem to replace the Comcrap Gateway because it was messing with the DNS traffic, even when piHole was set as DNS for every machine. So if I were you I would go look at the OpenWRT list of units that will accept their firmware. Pay attention to the hardware revision as well as the model number, it matters.

I work in IT and users will get upset if you give them the “Please put in a ticket” line. So for the people that might grumble at this stance but there is good reasons for it in addition to not clogging up this community it’s good for QA. I’m new to Lemmy so not sure if the SAs and Devs frequent [email protected] but I suspect they do and driving support questions to a common spot will help analyze need for new features, UI changes, bug fixes, etc.

Just my 2 cents but I like your stance.
