USB devices don’t make any noise when you plug them in. I would make it play a smoke alarm low battery beep.

How do you accurately characterize your printer though? No two printers will behave exactly the same.

If anyone except you has the private key, then your private messages are not private.

They are still a lot faster than normal SD cards. I’ve never seen any phone that works with SD Express cards, but there were a few that worked with UFS cards.

There haven’t been many good movies lately. It’s been 3 years since there was one good enough for me to watch in a theater. Hollywood has just been producing large volumes of low quality crap lately.

Most of the music I listen to is from the 70’s through the 90’s. I already have just about everything I want to listen to.

An IP camera may stay in use for a decade or more without any firmware updates. You shouldn’t trust any sort of authentication that’s built into the camera to be secure. Keep them on an isolated LAN and only allow access from the server that’s running the DVR software.

There are UFS cards. They aren’t as fast as SD Express cards, but 1200 MB/s is still plenty fast for a phone.

Without researchers like that, someone else would figure it out and use it maliciously without telling anyone. This researcher got Google to close the loophole that the exploit requires before publicly disclosing it.

It doesn’t, but running everything through a tunnel to get IPv4 access would. OP wants only the IPv4 traffic to go over a tunnel.

The game developers could if they wanted to, but I hope they won’t. I will not willingly install a rootkit on any of my computers. I wouldn’t buy or pirate a game that requires one even if it could run on Linux. I don’t even like running user level anti cheat, but at least that can be run in a sandbox.

My NAS uses a similar amount of power. The drives use most of the power. The PC uses less than 20W on its own. Upgrading to a couple of large helium filled drives will save a good bit of power. SATA drives tend to use a little less power than SAS drives too.

It would be nice if we could get desktops with 8 to 16 core ARM CPUs running at a very high clock speed.
128 cores is great for compiling large programs, but most stuff is not optimized to use more than a few cores.

I prefer to use FOSS software. There is a risk of getting malware from pirated software. Even if there is no malware, commercial software usually has lots of tracking and telemetry anyways.

No matter what adapter you use, you will be limited to the throughput of the PCIe 3 x4 port.

SATA is 6 gigabits per second, not gigabytes. The SATA adapter is only PCIe 3 x2 which would limit the throughput if you used it with SSDs, but it will still have plenty of bandwidth for hard drives.

Yes, snapshots nice to have and compression reduces the disk usage for the operating system and software quite a bit.
