Yeah, they probably want to kill it and switch people over to a cloud service with a monthly subscription.
The issue with Starlink is power consumption. You will have to run your generator frequently to keep the batteries charged up.
There's been pirates on FLTSATCOM for decades. That's what you get when you launch a bunch of satellites that repeat anything with no authentication though.
Yeah, I definitely wouldn't recommend putting something power hungry like a GPU in one of these. A NIC will be fine though.
They are not USB based, they just happen to use a USB 3 cable to carry the PCIe signals.
If you don't want to risk modifying the slot, try one of the cheap PCIe risers on amazon and send it back if it doesn't work. You will need a case with a couple of extra slots under the motherboard in order to fit the riser in there though.
It will run slower, but that probably won't be an issue unless you plan to max out all 4 ports simultaneously.
I'm sure that ban doesn't apply to government operated facial recognition cameras though.
That's the word of this decade.
Yes, a used PC can work great for a home server. Just don't go too old or it will be power hungry. Obviously you will want one with an integrated GPU to save power too. If you want to run jellyfin, make sure it supports hardware video encoding, preferably AV1 or H.265.
Any Japanese made surround sound receiver and speakers than you can pick up from a thrift store or craigslist will sound way better than the modern junk. It will have a big, heavy power transformer and linear amplifiers. There will be no internet connected spyware either. If you find one from the 90's, it will likely have a phono preamp for your record player too.
Ideally they would provide a graph showing how many watt hours it will output from minimum to maximum load. If it supports multiple voltages, there should be a separate line in the graph for each voltage.
