Just ban it already. Nobody needs that brain rotting site.

Use your own modem and router so your ISP doesn't have access to it.

I would much rather have a safer battery, even if it's a bit bigger and heavier.

It would be nice if they would switch to safer batteries like LiFePO4 for power banks. They rarely catch fire and you can put them out with a fire extinguisher.

How is that even supposed to work? The laser beam has to be reflected back down to the sensor in order to read the CD.

I think just about everyone who is not an executive at a tech company is highly skeptical of AI.

That uses proof of work rather than just detecting and blocking the bots.

It's that thing that won't let you watch videos in the quality you paid for if they don't like the device or browser you use.

Mesh should be an option of last resort. It reduces the speed and increases the latency quite a bit. The only thing worse is power line networking, which has the side effect of turning your whole house into an RF jammer.

The cell carriers don't need more bandwith. 5G is already quite fast with the existing allocations. The only times I've used 5G and thought it's too slow has been in rural areas where the issue is a lack of nearby cell towers, not a lack of bandwidth. The cell carriers already have loads of millimeter wave bandwidth available for use in densely packed, urban areas where the lower frequency bands are insufficient.

It's WiFi that should be getting more bandwidth. Home internet connections keep getting faster. Multi gigabit speeds are now common in areas with fiber.

Sometimes they fail to update. I would imagine that there are quite a few people who don't bother setting up monitoring software to let them know if the certificate fails to update.

Maybe, but only if everything you do is in a web browser. Google is much worse than Microsoft when it comes to privacy though.
