My main issue is that LLMs are being used to flood the internet with AI slop. Almost every time I search for something, I have to go through a lot of results to find one with any usable information. The SEO spam before AI was bad enough, now it's significantly worse.

It doesn't, but running everything through a tunnel to get IPv4 access would. OP wants only the IPv4 traffic to go over a tunnel.

The game developers could if they wanted to, but I hope they won't. I will not willingly install a rootkit on any of my computers. I wouldn't buy or pirate a game that requires one even if it could run on Linux. I don't even like running user level anti cheat, but at least that can be run in a sandbox.

Someone just needs to make a double sided CD-R so we can have data and artwork on it.

I started getting most of my definitely public domain stuff from TorrentLeech when TG started having issues. Keep an eye out for an open signup. The rest comes from RuTracker, 1337x and The Pirate Bay.

There are adapters, but you only get 1 or 2 lanes and can only use short SSDs. If there is a BIOS whitelist, it won't work though.

My NAS uses a similar amount of power. The drives use most of the power. The PC uses less than 20W on its own. Upgrading to a couple of large helium filled drives will save a good bit of power. SATA drives tend to use a little less power than SAS drives too.

It would be nice if we could get desktops with 8 to 16 core ARM CPUs running at a very high clock speed.
128 cores is great for compiling large programs, but most stuff is not optimized to use more than a few cores.

Those use a lithium ion cell, so they have a buck converter to step the voltage down to 1.5V, which will always use some power. They are not suitable low draw devices because of the high self discharge rate. They can't be used in high draw devices because the buck converter can only supply a limited amount of current. They also produce noisy power which can cause issues with radios and audio equipment. The USB port and charge circuitry take up a lot of space, so you get less capacity too. A low self discharge NiMH cell will be better for almost any use.

Better keep a big furnace full of molten steel ready just in case.

FCC emission requirements are very lax below 30MHz, so something can pass FCC part 15 yet still jam the entire HF band.

You just need to build some artillery.
