provide factory-recertified drives

Recertified drives are like used cars with odometers reset to zero.

What kind of idiot would buy them?

It’s OK, Sheldon.

When my phone is connected to my WiFi, it uses my local dns. When outside my home it uses public dns

You don’t need ‘split dns’ whatever that is.

This is split dns 😉

No.

My question is: How can I avoid that my android devices bypass my DNS?

How?

android devices bypassing local DNS

Can this be fixed/avoided?

…and their SAAS version is a terrible pain to use

Why do some people advertise their things only as “alternative to”?

I don’t know that other thing. So what is your thing?

How many domains do you own when you try to set up so many DNS servers?

That’s the stuff where we lose out to corporate products.

They sometimes lose things as well.

And they harrass their users in other ways, for example by randomly renaming stuff to “AI…” or even integrating with AI.
