A comment on Starlink User Terminal Teardown. Parent comment
The topic at hand is local network access. Some examples of things happening on your local network that you might not want Elon/ISP to see:
- Many people have public shares on their NAS for things like media or family photos
- Security cameras
- Printers
- If you're casting, the title of everything you watch is broadcasted on the network
- Even if you're not casting, if you use an Android TV then the title of everything you watch is also broadcasted to the network by default
- The list of all your devices
- If you torrent things, then the hash of all your torrents is likely broadcasted to your local network (through Local Peer Discovery)
