Re: Tech is slowly taking control.. because we let it.
"Here's a suggestion to ISPs: supply non-configurable routers."
They already do that. It doesn't fix anything, but it does have the extra feature of making me sad when I see it. For example, the one supplied to my parents wouldn't let me change the DNS servers to a pihole, or set firewall rules, or actually do very much at all. Fortunately, the advanced section (three options) contained the UPNP off setting, so it wasn't a total loss. I could have turned off its WiFi and used a downstream router (fortunately it doesn't redirect DNS queries) but that would have been another possible point of failure that I couldn't easily fix since I don't live nearby.
