Surely you used several USB Ethernet adapters to rule them out as being the source as well right? Those types of dongles are well known for calling home.
No no no.. go one better for the Mac. It should be whichever device/s which are next to be made legacy from Apple’s 7 year support window. That way you’re actually catering to the lowest common denominator.
Right? Dude, please provide some additional context around your web browser stack because something you’re using is triggering their system. That or you’re click house neighbours are using your wifi.
Correction: They /attempted/ to add an /optional/ feature for your /children's/ account(s).
Do you have kids? Daughters? Would you like better control over what they're exposed to? Being given the tools to track screen time, purchases and control where possible exposure to objectionable content for immature minds isn't a bad thing.. provided it is opt-in. Which the feature always was before the news cycle chose their own narrative.
Are you sure you meant to use “FUD” in this sentence? It doesn’t make sense. “Elon and his sales team (“they”) are selling this fear uncertainty and doubt”.
EVE Online has highly sophisticated user fingerprinting to prevent fraud and real money trading. So even if you got through with that email address it wouldn't be long before an issue was raised for your account.
With EVE, fraud comes in many ways and most would presume credit card fraud but because you can earn ISK in-game, which can be converted/sold for PLEX (their game-time subscription currency, worth real $) many items (Capital Ships, High Experience Characters, Corporations) are bought and sold for real money outside of the platform - which in some cases, is revenue that EVE would/could benefit from if PLEX was purchased from them directly and used legitimately instead.
So aside from basic things like blocking utility email addresses, they have sophisticated algorithms that monitor user accounts for unusual activity. The definition of unusual is constantly growing/changing and it is monitored and managed by a dedicated "security" team.

I know your question is for Windows, but in case someone was wondering about MacOS:
Aside from being able to manage some persistent login items under Settings > Users > Login Items, there is a free tool available from Patrick Wardle that helps manage the hidden launch items (like updaters) on MacOS called Knock Knock.
Although to be fair, while this has been super annoying, they are slowly getting there with recent releases. It definitely has the new product manager 'start from scratch clean slate' vs 'inherited mess' while co-existing vibes. Once they have hit parity, the cadence of this new team's releases should turn into a feature because they are consistently releasing updates/fixes way differently to previous management.
I still hate that the iOS Protect UX/UI has never used their own app beyond 9-5, as dark mode was removed and the interface is PURE WHITE. The iOS Network UX/UI designer has clearly used their app at night, hence a dark mode existing.
How do you know what the UDM IPS does/does not block? Is it displayed somewhere? Is it updated at a different cadence to the firmware/software updates?
I'm not sure if you're guessing, but DocuSign and Adobe Sign's per-envelope (not per signature) rate is expensive and doesn't scale down on volume as quickly as you'd think. In fact, to get lower rates.. you need to buy their "X" and "Y" products/addons (e.g. Contract Lifecycle Management).
Bottom line is, whilst the name of this new service is bad and would immediately get a no from our execs, there is a market for a pay-as-you-go service like what they're providing.. especially as it becomes commoditised thanks to the pioneers.
Loving the look of this. Amazing work! Are there any plans to provide diagramming and documentation support? Since I’m on MacOS One feature I really liked about DBSchema (Java for cross platform) was the ability to digram tables and relationships easily and then generate HTML5 documentation or quickly and easily for the Business Analysts. As others have said the core functionality you’re delivering here is already slick, and worthy of at least donations for the 4-5 days a month you are dedicating to this project.
