Didn't usenet also have a lot of spam problems associated with it?
Unfortunately it only happens at certain latitudes above and below the equator, so it can't really happen just anywhere, just in the few places that are at those latitudes.
Absolutely not. While a captcha can stop somebody with a simple python script and nothing else. It is not effective against sophisticated bots which either use AI or which connect through API to a captcha solving service run by humans. Much to the chagrin of captcha operators.
From what I've seen the main purpose of captcha is to act as security theater to dissuade normies. If there's anything that captcha has been successful at it's been permeating pop culture as a trope. As far as actually stopping the malicious actors it hasn't really done that much, mainly because these people will adapt and change their tactics. They're not just going to keep trying the same methods that aren't working, they're not stupid. Many do it as a business.
Why would they, Xbox uses a version Windows and an x86 core + AMD GPU, bog standard parts, bog standard system, it's easier to tap into the windows component on an x86 system and just use that to run the games. Making a proper emulator for games that would otherwise run on the PC natively just wouldn't make sense.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I personally like it, even so my main reason for recommending it is the fact that it has many features and supports a wide range of ebook formats, more than the stock Ereader apps usually do.
Answer is absolutely. If they don't follow USB-PD protocol correctly they can damage the battery or the charging circuitry in the device. If they are made with poor quality parts they can also die prematurely and cause voltage spikes when they do which can again, damage the battery and charging circuitry.
Some people may argue that you should never buy any other charger besides the one that the manufacturer supplies with the device. This is not a good argument though because most of the time the charger that the manufacturer supplied is an off the shelf charger itself, just rebranded to their own brand name. Most of the time it's a reputable brand which is why these tend to be more reliable. So basically sticking with a reputable brand is about the same level of safety if not more safe than the one that came with it.
Note that a reputable brand is not those ones that you buy at a gas station or street shop, or the ones that you buy dirt cheap on Amazon. Those are examples of chargers you probably want to avoid.
Also while we're on the subject of chargers this same concept does apply to docking stations for laptops, phones, and PC gaming handhelds, because these docks also have USB-PD chips in them as well, and the shitty clone versions can easily malfunction and damage your laptop, phone, or gaming handheld. The solution is the same as with the chargers, try to only use docking stations from reputable well-known brands.
Same advice I gave to Nintendo Switch users when they ask about chargers that are safe for the Switch, unsurprising it's applicable for all chargers in general.
That's why you shouldn't buy books from Amazon or other online ebook stores instead just download the ePubs elsewhere.
I'd also highly recommend KOreader if you have a Kindle or Ereader which supports it, as it supports many more formats and has a nice interface.
