These look like zinnias, but I could be wrong

Just load them with openwrt and enjoy

Aren’t there laws in place about consent and recording phone calls specifically?

Both my partner and I use “dude” interchangeably for all genders. They’re NB for context

Thanks for being a good human, Internet Stranger.

Sorry to break it to you bruh, but if Facebook owns the IP, they’re harvesting and monetizing the account data, end of.

This includes all of the subsidiaries like Instagram and WhatsApp as well.

Let’s also not forget that illegal activity exposes user data in addition to greed, and just the fact that your data is in yet another pot increases your risk. Also yes all corporations are greedy and evil but they’re definitely not all equal in how bad they are, and FB is one of the worst

Are you willing to compromise on all of these intrusions into your life? Many people are, but I’m not one.

Late stage capitalism. You can’t expect year over year growth for eternity without running into a resource cap. Profit growth is all the shareholders care about because it’s literally written into United States economics laws that investors get paid first.

Is there anything a mildly competent electronics enthusiast could do to disable any outbound data?

Think you might be a little lost my friend…

You can’t both bridge your current router and use it for WiFi AP because of the hierarchy of the network. You’ll need either a compatible AP-capable WiFi radio in your be router (hard to find, limited compatibility, I think you might top out at WiFi 4e (ac1350) in terms of what hardware is available.

Alternatively, you can use a dedicated access point alongside your new router which is easier and will get you better, more up to date, technology

Get yourself a decent router capable of running OpenWRT, which will allow you to set up vlan’s for your lab, and (I would also recommend) another separate vlan for your IoT and other “smart” devices.

The TP-Link Archer C7 is old but reliable and has a lot of open source support.

If you’re feeling more adventurous You could also build your own router with any computer that’s got two or more Ethernet ports using PFSense, Firewall-NG, or IPFire
