You can get the roam plan for $50 a month. If you were doing fine with dial-up, then the 50GB data cap shouldn't be an issue. You could even use the standby mode for $5 a month for 11 months out of the year and will still be an order of magnitude faster than the dial-up connection.

They were free and not everything needs 1.44MB.

Before that, they gave out floppy disks. You could tape over the write protect hole and reuse them.

You'll never fit the game in the boot sector of a floppy disk if you write it in python.

I've got one of the older Reolink IP cameras and the video freezes for about 10 seconds every time it switches between color and nightvision. They never even released a firmware update for it. I wouldn't trust them for anything important.

Did du give any permission errors? It can't count the size of directories that it doesn't have permission to access.

It will probably keep working fine for years. Eventually some dependency will become incompatible and it will no longer build though.

All a kensington lock does is cause a bit of damage so a potential buyer can tell that the equipment was stolen.

A thief will likely want to steal or destroy the DVR, so make sure it's well hidden or locked inside a proper safe.

Even 20 years ago you needed ad blocking to make sites load a bit faster on dial-up. Now you would need no script and an image blocker too.

I just renewed my .com for USD $11.08 and that's not even the cheapest registrar. Some companies will absolutely rip you off on renewals though.

require you to screenshot/OCR it

So just like what people do with paper books.
