An on-screen keyboard is also demonstrated in the video.

My biggest complaint with ISPs is that it's very difficult to find their regular, non-discounted prices of their services.

They'll always tell you their special, first-year price, but nowhere can you find that the price will triple after that.
I'd like to shop for service based on actual costs over several years.

Hmm, what if it were possible to make a brain-dead clone of you in order to harvest its organs as personalized replacements?

One or two ethical questions may arise from that.

> Jackson's documentary "was originally set to open in theaters last year as a two-and-a-half hour feature film, but was pushed back by the pandemic. With more time unexpectedly on his hands, Jackson transformed his feature film into the six-hour epic...."

I'm shocked! Shocked to find that Peter Jackson would do such a thing.

Assuming that anyone cares about this OS, I don't think it will take long for technically skilled people to figure out how to reinstall the OS. That first part may be the kicker, however.

PCIe expanders exist. Just ask the bitcoin miners.

Due to RAM buffering on the drive, it still makes sense to use the fastest interface possible for HDDs.

Come on, until the robots actually sing and play the instruments, I'm not (so) impressed.

Or should I say "worried"?

Yes, I experienced this myself when asking a question into a microphone in a large auditorium. It was very disconcerting, but I focused on tuning out my voice and just asking my question, and life went on. It was very uncanny, though, how the confusion from the delayed audio made me pause talking until I realized what was going on; it was uncomfortable having to speak in that situation.

It would be matter of using the minimum transmitter power and appropriate antenna design to keep the range of the transmitted signal very low: ideally just within the seating space for the relevant screen. Obviously, you can't have the signal simply "cut off" beyond this space, so it will be a balance between having enough power and keeping the number of overlapping "cells" to a minimum.

Of course, the fact that wifi occupies the same spectrum and creates a lot of noise doesn't help either. You'd want to do something similar for it (increase the number of access points while decreasing their transmit power).

It's like having lots of people in an auditorium talking to the people next to them. As long as everyone's not shouting, they can hear each other.

You have two alternatives for where to invest new hardware:
1. Use additional hardware to make computation more secure, but not faster.
2. Use additional hardware to make computation faster, but not more secure (except where additional speed offers additional security).
As long as there's a need for additional speed, I can't see anyone going for option 1.

Of course, this path led us to Spectre and Meltdown, so perhaps the decision isn't always so cut and dried.
But excepting big flaws like that, I don't see this kind of security going mainstream.

All cameras do poorly with poor light. If you want good picture quality, the easiest fix is typically to improve the light.

I would support a law that required IOT makers to do one of the following when products come to EOL:
1) Open up the datasheets (or firmware) and encryption keys so that others can bring new life to the products
2) Recycling all their EOL products for several years to come.

Cashless doesn't prevent money laundering. It just changes the nature of it. Instead of paying with stolen cash, the digital criminal can pay with lots of small digital transactions that, individually, don't raise any flags. Digital currency can be spread around many different accounts, all controlled by the same actor. Any system that is intended to be flexible enough for general purpose use will invariably have exploits that industrious folks will find.
