Ok, if you don't use their web site you won't see the UX dark patterns. Trust us, they there and fit with the overall garbagefication theme. Annoys the living shit out of me. At least no more Prime Video UI and ad trainwreck.

If you haven't noticed, you've been not paying attention. I canceled Prime a while ago and they try very hard to get you back. And they try to sneak on you billed expedited shipping when over minimum gratis shipping quota. Dark patterns galore.

It would be a major pain for me to boycott them completely so I don't, yet.

You seem to not be using open source software packaged for multiple architectures or which can be built for your binary target. Most people will be just using a browser and an office suite.

No, that captures just the neuroanatomy. Not the properties like density of ion channels, type, value of the synapse and all the things we don't know yet.

I would look into thin clients and Lenovo etc. tiny PC for office on eBay. I run old low power low noise rackmount Supermicros which are nice but hard to find at low prices.

Factor in power bills and heat and noise into your calculations.

Secure has no meaning.

There is a reason 1984 was written by a Brit.

Interesting, wasn't aware. It remains illegal in Germany then, as long as you seed. Notice in Germany you will receive a nastygram in any case as long as you've been identified as a member in a swarm, even if you do not seed. It would be interesting if someone would contest that, though you will likely lose since technical details don't matter in most courts.

No port mapping, no upload, so technically legal where only sharing is penalized. IANAL.

Since most VPNs no longer have port mapping it's a pure download which would make it technically legal e.g. in Germany.

Potentially double use for space launches.
