Maybe people will start torrenting youtube rips if they somehow manage to kill ad blockers.

The goal is to get away from US tech companies.

Nobody needs a $25k display for a conference call. A normal phone will be good enough. Most of the time video is not even needed.

That 3D display would be cool for CAD or 3D modelling if the resolution is high enough though.

The main issue is the lack of software support. They keep making each new Android version more bloated so you can't update more than once or maybe twice. If it wasn't for that, you could keep using the same 5G phone until they shut down the 5G network as long as the battery is replaceable.

I wish Android was more like Debian where it's lightweight, uses stable versions of software and runs well on old hardware.

If anyone except you has the private key, then your private messages are not private.

An IP camera may stay in use for a decade or more without any firmware updates. You shouldn't trust any sort of authentication that's built into the camera to be secure. Keep them on an isolated LAN and only allow access from the server that's running the DVR software.

Without researchers like that, someone else would figure it out and use it maliciously without telling anyone. This researcher got Google to close the loophole that the exploit requires before publicly disclosing it.

My main issue is that LLMs are being used to flood the internet with AI slop. Almost every time I search for something, I have to go through a lot of results to find one with any usable information. The SEO spam before AI was bad enough, now it's significantly worse.

It doesn't, but running everything through a tunnel to get IPv4 access would. OP wants only the IPv4 traffic to go over a tunnel.

Someone just needs to make a double sided CD-R so we can have data and artwork on it.

There are adapters, but you only get 1 or 2 lanes and can only use short SSDs. If there is a BIOS whitelist, it won't work though.

My NAS uses a similar amount of power. The drives use most of the power. The PC uses less than 20W on its own. Upgrading to a couple of large helium filled drives will save a good bit of power. SATA drives tend to use a little less power than SAS drives too.
