I'll never touch Balena anything since they put phone-home in Etcher (a simple tool for writing a local file to a local flash blockdev, essentially just a GUI front end to dd). I can't spend the time to audit their software for spying, and they already burned up whatever default level of trustworthiness they had.

They've been baleeted.

Wow. Glad I didn’t take a job with them. That’s despicable.

I’ll also be warning my embedded customers that consider their offering.

Telemetry is NOT okay.

The funniest bit was the ad for pi-hole (adblocking software) displayed in the flashing tool.
