AI image upscaleing isn’t something I would associate with being energy efficient or fast. I wonder how that’s supposed to work?
If you want rechargeable batteries, just put some eneloop batteries (or some of the cheaper, rebranded ones) in the remote. They are not like the old NiMH batteries, they hold a charge for a years.
I certainly don’t want a remote that I have to throw out in a few years because the non-replaceable lithium battery wore out.
Used cars are going to get much more valuable with all the enshitified crap they keep putting in new cars.
It’s emmitting radio signals that an enemy could use to help locate the ship.
I’m surprised they didn’t put a time limit on the storage since they are not a file hosting platform.
There is potting compound with high thermal conductivity for things that produce a lot of heat. A YubiKey hardly uses any power, so heat should not be an issue.
The main downsides of potting are that it makes repair practically impossible and it can add a lot of weight if there is a large volume to be filled.
Encasing the circuit board in epoxy. It makes it very difficult to access components without destroying it. It’s also great for water proofing and increasing the mechanical robustness.
For the price they charge, they should be made so that opening the case will destroy the contents. They could have at least potted them.
Recent versions of Android make it much more difficult for a background app to access the microphone. There will be a notification if any background app is using the mic or camera.

Unless you’re using ancient hardware, you already have an internet connected back door in your CPU.
Why not just use bookmarks in Firefox with sync enabled? You can self host your own sync server if you are worried about privacy.
I would be more worried about that fact that the AI enabled device likely needs an internet connection to function. That means the manufacturer can take away features or brick the device whenever they want to.
You just need a program that actually supports the hardware video decoder. I’ve played 30-40mbps bluray rips on a Raspberry Pi 1B without any issues in kodi. The video played smoothly with no frame drops. The user interface was very sluggish though.
The GPU and video acceleration on the Pi is weird, so software has to be built specifically for it.
Ebay is probably going to be flooded with damaged Intel CPUs.
Some Lemmy instances disallow indexing in robots.txt, however indexers can choose to ignore that and actually blocking them takes a lot more effort.
It’s best to install yt-dlp manually and let it self update. It needs to be kept on the latest version since youtube is constantly breaking things. It’s only a single file and it can be installed in any directory in your $PATH
.
Have you tried mounting the google drive on your computer and copying the files with your file manager?
Helium doesn’t just kill apple devices, It kills anything with a MEMS oscillator. Helium atoms are so small that it’s impossible to make a seal that completely blocks them.
