That requires a mouse with an 8kHz polling rate. With a 1kHz polling rate, this trick will be limited to sounds under 500Hz.

That's usually only an issue with color laser printers.

It only requires an outbound connection, which is needed if you're stuck on CGNAT. It also provides DDoS protection and hides your IP address. It comes with the huge downside of using Cloudflare though.

Be sure to keep everything up to date too. Even openssh has had multiple vulnerabilities just this year.

That's just a direct connection. It used to be common for 2 player games to connect that way.

You can get the roam plan for $50 a month. If you were doing fine with dial-up, then the 50GB data cap shouldn't be an issue. You could even use the standby mode for $5 a month for 11 months out of the year and will still be an order of magnitude faster than the dial-up connection.

They were free and not everything needs 1.44MB.

Before that, they gave out floppy disks. You could tape over the write protect hole and reuse them.

I've got one of the older Reolink IP cameras and the video freezes for about 10 seconds every time it switches between color and nightvision. They never even released a firmware update for it. I wouldn't trust them for anything important.

All a kensington lock does is cause a bit of damage so a potential buyer can tell that the equipment was stolen.

A thief will likely want to steal or destroy the DVR, so make sure it's well hidden or locked inside a proper safe.

Even 20 years ago you needed ad blocking to make sites load a bit faster on dial-up. Now you would need no script and an image blocker too.

require you to screenshot/OCR it

So just like what people do with paper books.
