Just because each device has a globally routable IP address doesn't mean they can be accessed from outside your LAN. You still have to add a firewall rule to open a port to the device.

You can put a big hard drive in an external enclosure and use it for offline backups. There is no point in paying for cloud storage for something you can just download again if needed. Save the cloud storage for backing up non-replaceable data.

Arch is about as minimal as you can get. You won't even have a text editor if you don't specifically install one. You won't be able to connect to the internet to install that text editor if you don't install the software to configure the network connection either. I made that mistake the first time I installed Arch.

It's only decent until you need to do something the GUI doesn't support. Then it will overwrite whatever you changed in the CLI or luci every time it boots up.

There is really no need to make them that thin. TVs used to be a couple feet thick and wall mounting a TV meant cutting a big hole in the wall. 2 or 3 inches thick is nothing.

10,000 and 15,000 rpm drives were made obsolete by SSDs and were discontinued several years ago. They are slower than many modern 7,200 rpm drives.

Well, they won't be able to sell as many new computers if they let people keep using their old ones.

FAT32 is also really simple to implement. Supporting exFAT may require a larger microcontroller with more memory, which results in a more expensive product.

My entire network runs IPv6. I don't have any windows machines though.

Unless you're using ancient hardware, you already have an internet connected back door in your CPU.

Another test flight will be a bit of a problem. There are no spare Atlas V rockets. They will either have to convince Amazon to give up one of theirs or they will have to launch one of the missions on Vulcan Centaur, which is not currently crew rated.

Yes, being able to design something and have it in my hands it a few hours definitely makes it worth it. With 3D printing services it takes days or weeks and they get expensive fast.

They aren't patching CPUs that were released 5 years ago.

They should be patching back to Ryzen 1 since those are still perfectly good CPUs. 5-7 years really isn't that old considering how little improvement there is with each generation.

Kodi doesn't do any transcoding. It just mounts the NFS share and plays the file.

I wish CPUs would all have a fuse bit to permanently disable those "security co-processors". They are running who knows what and don't do the average user any good.

What kind of files?

I use Kodi to keep track of what TV shows and movies I've watched.

They are commonly used with USB keystone connectors. For some reason most of them have A connectors on both sides.

Cat5e works fine for gigabit. If it's not connecting at 1G, then the cable has been damaged and is probably connecting at 100M.

You should be seeing about 118MB/s in an iperf test on gigabit ethernet.

It works perfectly fine with user agent switcher. Apple just blocked Linux to be assholes.

The data is encrypted and can't even be recovered unless you create a recovery key. Some people don't want their browser phoning home and others just don't want to store their data on someone else's server.
