Wow. As a Xiaomi phone user, and having not read the article yet, does it mention if that level of tracking happens on Global Rom (Android One) versions of their phones?

I loved my phone until I looked at nextdns logs and noticed it's reaching out to Xiaomi owned servers roughly every 30 minutes. It's definitely tracking something. Now nextdns has a dedicated Xiaomi block list so I should be ok, but who knows?

My bad for not checking the lineageos compatibility list before buying an unsupported device.

Global MIUI 12.5.3 on a note 8 pro.
