It's emmitting radio signals that an enemy could use to help locate the ship.

That sounds like a good way to get rid of most of the users too.

I'm surprised they didn't put a time limit on the storage since they are not a file hosting platform.

They are probably failing to get enough users, so they will attempt to squeeze as much money from their existing users as they can before they go under.

They can shut down the ground stations in Brazil, but they can't block the laser links. They could also try to jam the signals, but SpaceX now has years of experience working around jamming in a war zone.

Recent versions of Android make it much more difficult for a background app to access the microphone. There will be a notification if any background app is using the mic or camera.

The windows uninstaller is in the Linux ISO.

Sure it can, you just uninstall the entire OS and replace it with Linux.

Streaming sites are the source of the TV torrents until the season is over and the bluray is released.

AV1 is really only practical for content that has a high quality source like a bluray release. Most streaming sites aren't using AV1 yet, so anything from them would have to be transcoded. Transcoding a low bitrate source to another format will cause a loss in quality. It's not really worth it unless you want really small files to watch on your phone.

AV1 hardware acceleration is becoming fairly common, so I wouldn't be surprised if the streaming sites start switching to it soon.

Significantly less than the extremely toxic, hypergolic fueled boosters China drops on their villages.

Most graphics cards have massive air coolers that block other PCIe slots. I want more water cooled options since they are low profile. I just don't want to have to void the warranty on a brand new card to install a water block.
