I could see this deployed in hotels or other public places by the CIA so they can monitor their target's movements. The main benefit is it doesn't require placing a bug/camera in the room because the routers could be placed in another room, so if the room is swept for bugs, they won't find anything suspicious. Not too far-fetched considering the kind of shenanigans they frequently do aboard.

Mildly uncomfortable.

The referenced windows update website, v3.windowsupdaterestored.com, can't be loaded on Firefox because it uses vbscript instead of javascript.

That's make me wonder, does the internet archive preserve those sites? Or do those IE-specific sites lost forever because their contents can't be indexed by the internet archive?

Could also happen if your ISP uses CGNAT, which put a bunch of users behind a pool of IP addresses. When one bad user got the shared IP addresses into an IP blocklist somewhere, the entire group will now taste what it's like being treated as filthy bots by half of the internet (a.k.a. captcha hell). Ironically, you can escape the captcha hell by using a VPN with "clean" IP reputation.

I'm self-hosting an instance of voyager and it's been great so far. The devs are pushing updates so often, sometimes I have to update it twice in a single days.

I heard chromium is easier to work with than gecko.

How does this game compares with other Elder Scroll games? Is it grindy?

Just pass the pdf file into an OCR.

In the past few years, a huge proportion of posts that made it to the front page are same stuff reposted over and over again. Maybe it's good to have a fresh start.

Not surprising as the internet archive got into trouble and bad press during pandemic because it allowed unlimited ebook landing. They probably can't afford getting sued anymore by the same publishers.

Unlike regular TVs, this TV has a dedicated screen attached at the bottom that show nothing but ads, so it's not comparable with showing ads in a show. They'll be showing ads at the bottom of the show, constantly, like an ad banner in a website.

LG TVs seems to have ads too: https://lgads.tv/

What's your specific TV model? I've been looking for 4K TV without ads and can't find anything good.
