Maybe I'm cynical but I'm thinking whatever platform the podcast is on probably has that tracking information for sale anyway if the podcast producers want it.

It's a good question but I honestly have no idea how that works even today with windows actually because I have not owned a laptop in 15 years. In my mind, the laptop manufacturer has to guarantee compatibility with any OS it provides but even then, some support from the OS side may be needed. The best way to handle that would be if the manufacturer started contributing to the Linux kernel and provide full driver support because then everybody wins in the long run.

Some laptop manufacturers (and at least one of the larger ones) already offer Linux (Ubuntu) as a pre-installed OS. I suspect this will become more common if/when Linux becomes more popular as a mainstream desktop OS. Most likely it will still be 1 or 2 pre-selected distros though even then.

Yeah, all I could find was vague statements about the DNS server lookup order being "OS specific" and windows specifically being know for "not respecting DNS order", see https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/kb8hvt/dhcp_dns_server_order/

This is also supported by statements from pihole devs: https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/comments/x2248t/is_it_worth_creating_a_second_pihole_dns_server/ And: https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/primary-vs-secondary-dns/1536/4

And then there are the hundreds of similar questions which one could take as "evidence by quantity" or whatever.

Right, we are on the same page but from experience, setting DNS 1 to the pihole and DNS 2 to for example 8.8.8.8 in your DHCP router will make the pihole useless. There are dozens of similar threads across different forums saying the same thing but if you know how to do it please let me know... Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/comments/864oli/secondary_dns_setting/

Care to elaborate? Last time I tried to set the secondary DNS as backup while keeping the pihole filtrering there was no real way to do it without having two piholes. Even the pihole developers said as much

Setting a second DNS in your router will bypass the pihole though, making it useless unless both servers point to a different pihole server

The full picture is never used in academia, let me assure you of that. If it weren't for articles like these, most people would not know where it even came from or that the model was nude in the first place. Not defending the use of the picture, strange choice of a test picture for sure, if you know where it comes from but wanted to give you some context.
