What's the current record? I don't think many people outside US care enough to give this any thought at all, let alone watch it.

You get a raspberry pi. Then you get a durable SD card. You make the card bootable with the appropriate tool on your PC. While you're on the PC, you can make additional configuration changes in text files to configure wifi network credentials, static IP address and others. WIFI credentials being most important if you don't plan to connect it by ethernet or don't have extra monitors, keyboards, and mouse.

Then you place the SD card to the Pi and boot it up. It automatically connects to the WIFI using the credentials you set in the SD card. If you used an static IP address, use it to ssh into it. Then copy the pihole installation code from the pihole website. And you're done.

If you want to give pihole a try before you get a Raspberry pi, you can install it within other Linux OS, like Linux mint. You can move all the configurations by exporting them later.

which company and specs?

Google owns it, as in Google gets the last say in what goes into mainline AOSP code. The code is open source but they decide what next Android release is going to be. You can submit a PR, they decide if it gets merged or not.

If anyone wants to make independent modifications over it, they can fork it, because the license permits it. Now the fork is not owned by Google. But Google owns the main android repository.

BSD overtake Linux or Windows in some areas

Any examples? besides the well known security, lower footprint and simplicity. genuinely curious.

it seems ridiculous to prosecute the particular crime of posession

what does this even mean? you mean with people hoarding CSAM shouldn't be charged because they're not distributing it?

Do people think there would be some dramatic explosion of CSAM?

Yes, this is not your local backwater town where you know there are a few visibly shitty & disgusting people and people tell their kids to stay away and everyone becomes safe. And if you think shit doesn't explode on the internet, you might be living under a rock last 2 decades.

That's stupid on a whole new level and your made up scenario doesn't make it any better. No one is threatened for having been sent some questionable content. The person who sent those however might be and the tech today makes it incredibly easy to prove where anything came from since everyone is being tracked.

Seize all funds received for distributing it, throw anyone involved in producing it in prison and throw away the key,

How about we prevent such things from happening by discouraging it in the firat place? Sure, they won't be down to 0, but your solution starting after the distribution has already started is highly disturbing.

what if it gets flashbacks?

Looks like they have valid reasons for doing this

Yea, the company does not want to be an accessory for crime or illegal activity. That's to be expected if they want to keep their business running. But that won't stop people from raging and claiming the project is now going to die.

Government backing billionaires and Billionaires corrupting government. And normal people being told to adjust their lifestyle to "save the planet" was one of the greatest lie ever told.

Not a smart watch, but a Mi Band fitness tracker.

Pros:

• works well enough
• Private
• data visualizations are great
• Advanced sleep tracking
• Lots of customization features

Cons:

• needs 3rd party app to sync weather
• Doesn't exit cleanly
• Calendar sync has never worked for me (even though I gave it necessary permissions )
