if you ignore the human element
And that's you problem right there. The same people that can get tricked into revealing their SN#, mother's maiden name, etc. are the ones who would reveal their private keys to a scammer.
Fraud is a social problem, technology can assist in managing them, but not solve the issue. In the end, it's all about the human factor.
If too many people do this, you bet "smart" TV peddlers will start bundling cellular modems on their devices, so they can connect directly to their servers without relying on your WiFi, just like car companies do. Blocking this would require enclosing the TV in a Faraday cage.
I use Heimdall too, with a bunch of other things. One of them is Pihole.
Pihole will not only help blocking ads at DNS level, it will also work as DHCP server and resolve localy configured addresses, like homepage.ourhome.
Put it on your network and disable the DHCP feature in your WiFi router/firewall (you may need to explicitly set it to forward DHCP to Pihole).
One warning, do not set up names like host.local. the TLD .local is reserved it will cause issues.
Banning TikTok would be as good as banning Facebook, Instagram or XTwitter, by that I mean it would be a net gain for society as a whole. But you have to ban them all, without discriminating based on which nation they originated.
But this is not the case here, this is the US congress enacting barriers towards foreign competitors, just like they did with steel, sugar and cars (ever wondered why you can't buy one of those little European cars in America?).
This TikTok bullshit is Huawei all over again. It's not to protect "national security" or "the children", the Huawei ban was all about protecting the business of American companies during the transition from 4G to 5G.
You can set Firefox to block auto-play, even if you open the tab in the foreground, put uBlock origin on top of it and you get rid of most of those annoying videos.
Being even more pedantic, KVM is the hypervisor, QEMU is a wrapper around it and Proxmox provides a management interface to it.
Any Linux distro running KVM/QEMU - Add Cockpit if you need a web interface, or use Virt-Manager, either directly or over X-forwarding
No need for X forwarding, you can connect Virt-Manager to a remote system that has libvirt,
One sad irony about the meltdown caused by the 9/11 attacks. The technology that could have prevented it is called CDN (content Delivery Network), one of the pioneers of this technology being Akamai. The irony is that one of the company's founders, Daniel M. Lewin, was a victim of the attacks, he was on AA Flight 11, the first to hit the twin towers.
There this French fold band, Skáld that usually sings in Old Norse language. In the song Hross, the first line of the chorus is "Hverir eru þeir tveir?". The way they sing those first two words sounds like "Fevereiro", which is the Portuguese (my native language) word for February.

Join the fight for the right to repair. Manufacturers (I'm looking at you, Apple) have been removing the ability of end users to repair their own stuff and making it more difficult for independent repair shops to do their jobs. Repairing stuff goes a long way in keeping electronics out of land fills.
But repairing can be understood as "reusing", but there's a first step before reusing, it's reducing. Basically, stop buying shit that you don't need. If you don't buy it, it won't be manufactured, so it won't end up as e-waste.
If people minded more the reduce and reuse, recycling wouldn't be as needed.
And my bow.
