Windows pc calling home (even while asleep) - eviltoast

I have a network-wide pi hole and I noticed that it requested activity.windows.com, a url blocked by my pi hole, even while my pc is suspended. I pinged 10.0.0.217 and it is currently unreachable. So, somehow, windows pc’s turn on networking, phones home, and turns off even while suspended.

Creepy behavior

    I game on Linux every day.

    I wish multiplayer worked across the board but it’s whatever. I don’t have time for it any way haha.

      What multiplayer doesn’t work? Do you mean because of EAC not working or something?

        Yep. I’d like to play the older call of duty games when I hook it up on my dock. I’ve thought about dual booting, but the work, man. Maybe I’ll get my daughter to do it one day. She’s still tech excited. The world hasn’t burned her out yet. :p
