I’m not sure, but with routers, I think OpenWRT installs/flashes at the firmware level. There could be hardware level vulnerabilities I suppose.

In the case of Lenovo laptops used in Iraq (2004), China had additional hardware chips snooping and sending data back via Ethernet cable.

Running OpenWRT is generally a good idea. I’m not gonna lie and say it’s easy to setup. But it’s worth it.

Will do.

If you’re using a drawing tablet, Krita is free.

It’s a nice concept. But emulated Switch games may not be able to do online multiplayer and kids may not be able to work the emulator that well.

Cool concept, but can kids work an emulator and the process of acquiring games?

It’s okay. I’m using Krita. $0

I don’t think he actually plays games anymore. He just says x company/person is finished and here’s why. It’s usually a really bad take.

Ah okay. I saw it on Steam listed as just MS Flight Simulator. Assumed it was the latest one.

I read the download size is like 150GB. That’s why I didn’t buy it on sale.

Did you use your laptop on a bed at any point?

I used to use Ubuntu years ago. The beauty of that distro is that it will fuck itself up. No action required on your part. Versions after 16 would black screen themselves after an upgrade, or the mouse pointer would go on vacation. Even better, it would say your 100% correct password was incorrect and lock you out.

You’re not really any worse off with something like Arch, aside from the initial install. Overall, less headaches for me.

You could probably run Linux on a binary abacus. https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bbinary_Abacus_002.jpg

Programmers I’ve worked with all prefer MacBooks. And yes, you can run Linux on a Mac too.

HTTPS would prevent advert injection, assuming you didn’t accept a bad certificate at any point. But if they control your router and infrastructure, they can still redirect you to other pages however they want.

Some software check for updates without requiring the packages to be signed. The ISP could do a HTTP redirect to a fake torrent client update. The program says “Update available”. It downloads a malicious version.

Other ISPs have been caught injecting adverts into their traffic. So there’s ways.
