Would love to know of a resource for looking up the amount of telemetry being collected by make/model/year. Like, is this stuff only on cars with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay/inbuilt GPS, or anything that uses Bluetooth?

Yeah, a lot of those ranking sites are actually owned by some of the more shady VPN providers. I know I’ve seen a diagram somewhere of the connections between some of these companies, but I can’t remember where off the top of my head.

Not OP, but the software currently is incompatible with linux AFAIK. There are some third-party applications that try to restore some of the features available in Windows, most notably the chat-mix, but I haven’t yet gotten that working and honestly just gave up on it. I have one of the other Arctis models though, not the Pro.

It’s not that Lemmy.ml is blocking Mullvad, it’s that Mullvad is blocking Lemmy. If you’re using the DNS content blockers in the Mullvad app, turn the ‘adult’ filter off. I don’t know why they added Lemmy.ml to that blocklist, but that’s what’s happening.
