You can also get a Celeron-based (for example with a N100) fanless mini-pc meant for use as DIY routers like these and install something like pfSense on it.
Personally my really old router still does what I need so I'm leaving it be, though I've replaced my media box and my NAS with a similar device running Lubuntu but can't really make it also be the router since it only has 1 ethernet port.
Android development app that runs on a PC and can connect to an Android device via USB to control it.
Lets you do way more than what you can do directly in the Android device itself.

Somebody who is not a software developer or is a junior one who only ever worked in one or two major projects and got lucky (really depends on the country and the industry) might believe it.
It's hardly unusual for people who only ever worked in one place to think everything is like that, and some of those do get lucky (not all software development environments out there are like the US Tech Industry) and end up right after Uni in a place with some good senior techies that make sure environments are properly set up.
Also in-house development in industries were software is mission critical and new versions breaking Production might result in massive losses or death (for example, Finance) always have proper Testing and Staging environments - you don't really want to lose millions of dollars (possibly hundreds of millions if unlucky) by having all the traders in a Trading Floor twidling their thumbs because somebody didn't do, before pushing to Production, proper integration testing in Staging of some comms protocol changes done for two different systems.
Welcome to the Internet, were you can never be sure if Satire is Satire or somebody's genuine opinion until they confirm it's the former using a meme.
If their priorities were to track customers, incentivise game integration with their store (i.e. gamemaker lock-in) and the possibility of taking games away from customers, all like Steam does, they would not maintain that glaring backdoor for all those priorities that is letting customers download full installers that they can keep and which do not check back with the store on install.
I'm sure that they would like the advantage of tying people (both gamers and gamemakers) to their store, yet clearly they're not forcing that as Steam does, so what they're prioritizing (in other words, their priority) is clearly not that.
Given that their unique selling proposition is "no DRM" or more broadly "customer freedom to use the games they bought", it makes sense that that is GOG's overriding priority, even if they would also like all the (for a store) nice side-effects of built-in DRM and phone-home installers like Steam's.
You don't need to use GOG Galaxy since you can download the offline installers for any game (including, for some, the Linux version).
Been buying from GOG for years now and never used GOG Galaxy.
GMO + Capitalism = Plants modified to be resistant to specific pesticies and herbicides, increasing their use; farmers being sued due to their plants being polinized by GMO plants and so on.
The problem is not GMO, it's GMO under low or no regulation Capitalism: it's guaranteed that it's going to be used in all the wrong ways even if a handful of examples are actually not (and even Golden Rice is patented, which opens the door to abuse if its use becomes widespread).
Most distrust of some powerful new tools of Science is due to how the political and economic environment we live in tends to shape the use of such tools, much more than of the tools themselves.
Well, the universe was create 6000 years ago so obviously domesticated animals have always been as they are. /s
