The data is laser etched into fused silica. It will not degrade like CDs or DVDs. It will hold its data until something damages the disk.

If that’s the case, then you should return the TV if you can or replace the WiFi antenna with a 50 ohm resistor.

That’s only an issue if someone’s still running an open network near you.

If it was the 80’s, the text would be gibberish because you can’t figure out what the correct code page for the file is.

Another option is a Mean Well power supply. Most of them have a pot that can adjust the voltage by 10-20%. They are more expensive than the official power supply, but if you need to run more than just the Pi from it, they are a good option.

How many failures did they just make disappear?

If you use the web UI, you can adjust the zoom in your browser.

AMD should remove the HDMI port from all of their GPUs as a nice F.U. to the HDMI forum. They shouldn’t be paying the licensing fees if they are not allowed to make full use of the hardware.

Try a different cable too.

Yes, it runs a separate browser instance for each electron program. Many of the programs that use it could just be a PWA instead.

Yes, if you have IPv6, you can open a port in the firewall and have external access. Whatever you are accessing it from must have IPv6 as well though.

MakeMKV works great on Linux. I used it to backup all of my blurays and DVDs without any issues.

I’ve never seen a targeted ad. It’s very rare that I see any ads at all. Ublock Origin does a very good job of getting rid of them.

If you have multiple computers, you can always set up a caching proxy so you only have to download the packages once.

That would require the car to have a fast charger on board. That’s a lot of extra cost and weight.

It would be much better to have a robotic connector that automatically connects to the car when you pull up to the charger.

They should just make it DisplayPort only and provide a DP to HDMI 2.1 dongle with it.

Are you looking for a 7 segment display? A lot of people build those with LED strips and 3D printed parts. You can often find large 7 segment LED displays on ebay or aliexpress too.

No, some of them are running generators on site to get more power.

With a 50 kWh battery, that’s 5 kWh wasted per full charge or 90 cents at the average US electric rate just for being too lazy to plug in a cable.
