It’s not hard to make a useful website that’s small. You just have to avoid using javascript libraries and keep images to a minimum. There are a number of static web page generators if you don’t want to write HTML yourself.

Keep in mind that a 50 kB page is about a 15 second load on a typical dial-up connection. Before high speed internet, almost everyone kept their web pages small.

Mumble supports text chat and images too. Right click on a channel or user and select send message. There is an insert image button in the message window. I wish they would make it so you could just drag and drop an image though.

That trace is a fuse.

Yes, that’s why they don’t care about copyrighted content outside of Russia.

They tend to require installing a rootkit on your own computer. I wouldn’t buy them even if they did support Linux.

There are USB NFC readers. Someone could add support for that to Klipper.

Dumb TVs are still readily available. They are intended for commercial use and will suck for games or movies though.

Well, they have had a lot of vulnerabilities. Most people won’t even update the firmware let alone install OpenWRT on them.

The biggest issue will be radiation. It degrades modern computer hardware pretty quickly.

If you want to ground it and don’t require a floating output, you could connect ground to one end of the secondary.

There’s no guarantee that deleting your account actually deletes your data. They will probably keep it and use it to train their AI.

Even if the smart fridge doesn’t become enshittified, the smart features will likely become obsolete long before the fridge its self is worn out. Just try using a phone or tablet that’s 10-15 years old. It probably won’t be able to open an https website, let alone install new apps.

Get a magnetic case for a tablet and stick it to the fridge. If it starts showing ads, you can take it off, put it through the wood chipper and the fridge will still work fine.

Programs running on Wine still have access to all of the files that you do. They won’t be able to mess with system files unless they can find some sort of privilege escalation exploit in Wine though.

The article was about TVs, not computer monitors. Most people don’t sit nearly as close to a TV as they do a monitor.

Anything that relies on an internet connection that should be unnecessary is a bad idea.

Why would anyone give Bethesda more money for the same game, but with all the mods broken?

I wonder if this will help the delivery drivers find my house? They seem to deliver my packages to my neighbors house more often than mine, despite it being 600 feet away and me reporting it every time. They will probably just ignore it like they do their GPS.

Or just install Consent-O-Matic. By default, it’s set to automatically reject all cookies.

That hard drive is probably multiple gigabytes, it would take days to weeks to transfer that over a serial port. If the computer has a PC card slot, I would look for an ethernet adapter that would work with it.
