It’s not uncommon for a single web page to use 5-10MB. Shopping and social media sites are the some of the worst since they have lots of javascript libraries and pictures. It’s not hard to use a couple GB in a day without streaming anything.
Modern websites are excessively bloated. That data goes fast.
I wouldn’t suggest relying on Google for anything. https://killedbygoogle.com/
Search and Gmail are probably about the only thing they won’t kill.
Downloading bluray rips will give you the best quality. Any DRM should be removed when it’s ripped. Movies are usually 1.85:1 or 2.39:1 and will be letterboxed since that’s wider than a normal 16:9 TV. You can either crop it out, which will require re-encoding or just zoom in while watching it. A hardware video encoder will make the files larger. I would recommend using software encoding if you have the time.
You can use MakeMKV to rip your blurays on Linux. Normal blurays are easy to rip, 4K needs an old drive with custom firmware. It’s free while it’s in beta, but you will have to get a new license key every month.
Just remember that you will be required to remove any illegal content that people post. I certainly wouldn’t want to be responsible for that.
Punch cards have been around for over 200 years. No electronics are needed to punch them. Some very complex patterns were created with the Jacquard loom without any computers. It just takes a massive amount of work to create the cards.
386 support was dropped years ago.
It sure would be nice to have WebSerial as well. For some reason Mozilla seems to think users can’t be trusted with it. They could at least add a compile time option to enable it. If someone knows how to compile a browser, they are probably smart enough not to give random websites access to their devices.
I doubt it would work for the buffer memory in a high speed camera. That needs to be overwritten very frequently until the camera is triggered. They didn’t say what the erase time or write endurance is. It could work for quickly dumping the RAM after triggering, but you don’t need low latency for that. A large number of normal flash chips written in parallel will work just fine.
That’s what DNS is for.
You would have to specifically open a port in your firewall before anyone could access a device over IPv6 on your network from the internet. Just like you would have to forward a port on IPv4.
Enable file versioning in Syncthing. Then you will have a backup copy of every change for however long you set it to keep them.
Those old drives may be using SLC flash. It can have a 20+ year data retention.
That doesn’t support data yet. Data will probably cost a fortune when they enable it. I doubt anyone will be willing to pay that much to serve ads. If they do, then the antenna will be replaced with a dummy load.
Luckily my neighbors are way out of WiFi range and there is barely enough cell service here to send a text from inside the house.
Don’t worry, they will slip some ever increasing hidden fees in there.
Yes, a quick search on GSM Arena shows 189 phones with a radio and headphone jack. That’s just phones from the last year.
The lack of an FM radio and headphone jack make it unusable for me.
Single core? That must be more like 20 years old now.
