Harvesting IP addresses shouldn’t be a problem, since the firewall shouldn’t allow packets from a peer you haven’t talked to first. But true, if you can be attacked in response by a server you’re connecting to that would be bad.

This would presumably mainly be an issue for computers open to the internet. So not so much for home PCs, unless the router’s firewall is opened up.

How would that bypass the firewall?

This TV Streamer costs significantly more than a CCwGTV combined with an adapter.

Until services stop supporting it.

None of which changes the fact that it’s more expensive and clunkier, and none of which feels necessary.

You can get an Ethernet adapter for the Chromecast

A more expensive, clunkier product, with a bunch of needless fluff in it.

So you need to change two settings instead of one to side load. Seems rather pointless.

Motorola and Nokia have phones with 3.5mm jack, and they come with pretty clean Android, without a bunch of bloat, aggressive task killers and whatnot. Though I can’t speak for camera, photosphere or repairability.

Pixels are good in some ways, but of course, those don’t come with a 3.5mm jack.

Speaking of which, nowadays KDE hides files with these extensions for some reason

Maybe if you use a file system that supports compression, e.g. btrfs, bcachefs, F2FS, squashfs, or EROFS. Of course, you’d need to add a separate FAT32 EFI System Partition for the bootloader, not sure how to do that.

The problem is the previous one only has 2G, and the 2G networks will soon be shut down, hence why they’re making a 4G version.
