Because money. It cost tax dollars to roll a truck to these sites every time a switch needs to be thrown. I heard that an air raid siren went off not too long ago because some kids figured out that they were controlled by DMTF tones on an unencrypted radio frequency.
The little advertisers aren’t the scary ones. It’s Meta, Alphabet and Amazon that are scary and absolutely do fingerprint in this way. That said, the scale of these systems really does roll right past the individual user, unless someone really cares about YOU, but unless you’re doing something wrong, they don’t really give a shit. CSAM, illicit substances, amd more could probably be pretty easily rooted out by these systems, but that wouldn’t make-line-go-up so it doesn’t happen.
There’s NO WAY I could have got Proxmox running my HomeAssistant with voice pipeline, plus PiHole, plus Tailscale & RustDesk all running on my NUC without Gemini. The number of copy-pasted commands is frankly staggering. I’m learning Linux, but the number of things I’ve been able to do is staggering compared to where I’d be on my own.
About 90% of Society. If you told my mom she was going to have to plug in a device and use another button on her remote (input) she’d look at you like you were asking her to replace a CPU on a computer. Can I do that? Yeah, I can but it’s delicate work fraught with danger.
For the VAST majority of people, a computer is just a tool and as long as they can send some email and surf the web, they don’t really care about them. Most 8 year old computers are generally cast enough to handle these tasks so they’re just not updating. A lot of those who care , did so with the EOL announcement of Win10 so there are other factors at play as well as insane costs.
I have an inflator for my chosen 18v battery system and have used it probably 100+ times. Going strong. If I was going to do any of the other things, a small pancake compressor would be fine and take up a lot less garage space.
I doubt they'll actually manufacture anything here. We don't have the tech or knowledge base for that high-tech kind of work. Nor the 12 year olds to actually do the menial labor.
I absolutely lament the enshitification of youtube. It used to be easy to find a video on how to fix nearly anything, but that's bad for the algorithm, because then you turn the screen off and go about fixing the thing, as opposed to watching more videos :(
You misspelled stupid. Sincerely, a mostly dumbass American.

But true.
We ALL hope so.

Yep. Do they really expect me to figure out which of the half million ad-sites my pihole is blocking so I can read the article?
It’s debatable whether the stroke caused him to swing conservative, or if he was always a lying asshole. Not that there’s a difference.
I’ll take all your spare 256 or 512 gig ECC sticks. Heck. I’ll even pay for shipping.
Copper by weight is cheap as hell. RAM & NVME drives are a WAY better ROI. It wouldn’t even be worth carrying the whole server.
That’s pretty spot on.

I’m ready to sell my air compressor. 30 gal but not a ton of cfm. 18v hits plenty hard on my impact and tire inflator for the actual air need.
Works vastly better on the plastic cartons than the old (and still current) paper cartons. I remember mom carefully inspecting eggs.
I can still remember the stories about when the halibut took back the mid Atlantic ridge.

NTTA should be paying fairly dearly if they want public resources to monitor their private property.
