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.

None of which are in this picture. The person in the picture talks only favorably of immutable systems yet is apparently against them, thus making for an easy target by arguing against themselves, so a straw man.

I'm actually positive to immutable systems, I just thought the argument wasn't great. I realize that's about what Skinner does in the meme, but it feels weak.

On second thought, I think the reason it was so jarring is because normally points against Skinner are in top picture, and the bottom picture has him abandon that line of thoughts in favor of something simplistic, thus changing his mind from one side to the other. Whereas here, the points against Skinner are at the end point of the meme, and thus he argues in both directions simultaneously.

This seems rather strawman-y

You can have a physical SIM alongside an eSIM. These days you may have to have at least one of them be an eSIM, as many phones only have one physical SIM slot.

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