Cameras don't cryptographically sign the images they take. Even if that was added, there are billions of cameras in use that don't support signing the images. Also, any sort of editing, resizing, or reencoding would make that signature invalid. Almost no one is going to post pictures to the web without any sort of editing. Embedding 10+ MB images in a web page is not practical.

You don't even need a hacked camera to edit the metadata, you just need exiftool.

Just buy a small, industrial CT scanner and scan your device. Compare the results to a device that you know hasn't been tampered with.

Firefox plus uBlock Origin is what you can do about it. I hardly ever see any ads. SponsorBlock is great if you watch youtube too.

You don't need root access to steal all of the data that your user account has access to.

If you are just self hosting for your own use, just stick with letsencrypt or self signed certificates.

The paid certificates are for businesses where the users need to trust the certificate. They usually come with warranties and identity verification, which is important if you are accepting payments through your website, but it's just a waste of money for personal use.

The music can be copied to new hard drives without any loss in quality, so why are they leaving their only copy on 30 year old hard drives?

My GOG games run great on wine, it just takes a bit more work to install them. Wine has better support for early windows games than windows does now.

If they use a good, 12X bluray drive, it will be quicker to install from a disk than to download it unless you're lucky enough to have a good fiber internet connection. Even then, the servers you download from will often be overloaded and slow on release day.

Sure, you can still own digital media, but you can't sell or trade it like you can with a physical copy.

It's impossible to get gigabit speeds on ULF. The datasheet says it uses 5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz.
