I am, but I disabled the xfinitywifi right out of the box.
Although it wouldn’t surprise me if it “spontaneously” reactivated itself, but even if it did (and Crapcast can be trusted on what they say on this) it’s supposed to be isolated to the point that it gets its own assigned IP separate from what is assigned to your connection
I really haven’t had DMCA issues on my Usenet providers, but you do gotta be choosy, iirc the biggest ones you probably subbed to won’t ignore DMCA
Yeah I am almost positive they do force itself back on sometimes lol. Though you are right that it shouldn’t share your IP. But like short of someone you don’t know having access to your WiFi it has to be something weird like that lol
Good to know about Usenet. I haven’t used it in a decade and have no idea what provider I was using. I was also younger and dumber so prob didn’t realize I could have just switched providers. Me at the time thought the dmca Usenet was more of a global issue. I now realize that likely wasn’t the case lol
