If they don’t want to maintain the copper lines, they can always replace them with fiber.

8GB would be fine for basic use if it was upgradable. With soldered RAM the laptop becomes e-waste when 8GB is no longer enough.
I typically look for 1080p X265 encodes around 2-4 mbps to save disk space. I will download higher bitrates for anything with a lot of film grain since it will get very blocky at lower bitrates.
I can’t tell much difference between 1080p and 4K unless I’m very close to a large screen. Also, most 4K files are HDR and I don’t have anything that supports HDR.
They will usually block port 25 so you can’t run a mail server. It’s unusual for an ISP to block everything unless you are on CGNAT.
All of the mirrors listed on their website are safe. Just pick one close to you. If it downloads too slow, you can try a different mirror. If you know how to use bittorrent, you can use their torrent link. It will typically be the fastest.
With Wayland, programs still can’t restore their window position or size. It sure would be nice if they could get basic functionality working.
If your ISP provides IPv6, set that up. Everything will have a globally routed address, so your domains will work from your LAN and the internet. If you don’t have IPv6 available, get a free tunnel from Hurricane Electric.
That will add extra latency from USB. Old programs are not likely to be very tolerant of that.
I would only recommend using it if a native package is not available or you need a newer version than what’s available.
Half the time I will just compile from source when I see how much space a flatpak and its dependencies will take up though.
Always get a router that you can install OpenWRT or OPNsense on.
There’s an option to allow it to run offline and that will allow it to work with cracked clients. There’s no user authentication, so only make the server accessible to people you trust over a VPN.
I wouldn’t put one of those amazon spy devices in my house even if they paid me. There’s no way in hell I’m going to pay to use one.
Someone already worked out how to do it: IP over Avian Carriers. The ping time is terrible though.
We just need a law to prevent them from changing the prices during business hours or limit it to one change per day if they are open 24/7.
Of course there aren’t many people buying EVs when the only ones available in the US are high end luxury models.
Import a bunch of those cheap Chinese EVs and lots of people will buy them. It won’t hurt the US manufacturers because they don’t produce any budget models.
Since you can have multiple IPv6 addresses on one machine, you can use a rotating address for all outbound connections and a permanent address for inbound connections. If you visit a malicious website that tries to attack the IP that visits it, there will be no ports open. They would have to scan billions of addresses to find the permanent address. All of that scanning would be easily detected and blocked by an IDS.
NAT works fine until you get stuck on CGNAT and can’t host anything on IPv4 without using a VPN.
The benefit is being able to easily access devices from the internet. The same address works on the LAN and WAN. There’s no port forwarding, so multiple devices can have the same port open. You also don’t need to mess with a VPN if your IPv4 connection uses CGNAT.
The solar panel needs to be used with a charge controller. Connecting it directly to a battery will overcharge and damage the battery. Charge controllers typically don’t like the battery being disconnected while the solar panel is still connected, so don’t connect it to a switched outlet.
It looks like they are trying to compete with fedex on how much damage they can do to your package.
