That depends on the ISP having backup batteries for their equipment. It will usually only last a couple of hours. 5G will usually stay up for a few days. For longer outages, you will need satellite internet and lots of fuel for your generator.

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.

Thank goodness there is more than one browser available.

It looks like work is still being done on Coreboot for the Framework. They got it running on the AMD version. It's not ready for use yet, but at least there is some progress.

They are just trying to leech out as much money as possible before the go the way of Digg.

There is no reason to support all distros. They already have an appimage, they could have dropped support for everything but that.

There needs to be some serious fines for amazon when they fail to recall and remove unsafe products.

They look like crap, I won't watch them.

You can specify multiple formats and it will download the first one that's available.

The switches eventually fail, but most mice use the same Omron switches and they are easy enough to replace if you know how to solder. The teflon skates wear out too, but you can find replacement for most name brand mice online.

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.

It works great on Linux for DVDs and regular blurays.
