You just need to be careful that the supplies' outputs are completely isolated from mains. Otherwise you'll end up with a lovely spark show.

Even then, anyone can use inspect element to make it look like it says whatever you want.

Basically the scheme from Office Space

I would look for a dongle that specifically markets itself as being Raspberry Pi compatible. Most stuff you find will prioritize Windows, but if it's marketed to work with the Pi you know it'll have at least some level of Linux compatibility. Once you find one, try to figure out what chipset it uses, then search if it's supported by a handful of the distros you wanna try.

Yes, because streaming boxes can be upgraded independently of the TV and so you can always have hardware that's actively supported. My old Roku 3 was still getting updates as of a few years ago, while my "smart" TV from 2015 stopped getting security updates long ago.

This is literally just a type of NFC. The same type of thing that's used whenever you scan your credit card or use an Amiibo. It is interesting that it doesn't use RFID standards, but conceptually it's the same idea of an ultra-low-power chip with an antenna with the only purpose being to transmit a few bytes of data when scanned.

Perhaps a silly question but... if you really want to avoid synthetic glues, maybe figure out a way to use screws? I'm not joinery expert but it seems like the best way to avoid synthetics while also being very mechanically stable.

Not to be a downer but... how did people not anticipate this happening? Google is likely going to do everything they can to shut down non-official clients like Piped, since they're sidestepping all of YouTube's revenue streams. Hopefully they don't take the nuclear option and somehow lock down the API and make it much harder to download videos via tools like yt-dlp.

Or, hell, just add a "screenshots" folder to the repo and mention its existence in the readme.

While all this is true, unfortunately not many devices support swappable 18650s, either they have swappable AA/AAA or have built-in 18650s that would require disassembly to replace. However, if you CAN find a device with swappable 18650s (the only ones I've found so far are flashlights) they're absolutely great!

They're definitely in favor of the right, but it was only a few years ago that a Russian-backed bot fa was found to be running both right-wing and left-wing propaganda accounts. They know that if we're busy fighting amongst ourselves, we won't pay as much attention to everything that they're doing.

Yeah like... They just tried to cut down on student debt and the conservative supermajority struck it down. There's literally nothing Biden can do to overrule that.
