That works until the battery puffs up and cracks the screen. Phones don't last long when plugged in 24/7. Also keep in mind that WiFi cameras can easily be jammed.

It used to, but it's had the option to save an actual video for a long time now.

I would just print it, fill it out by hand and scan it. Make them do the extra work if they send a PDF that doesn't work in your software.

That's what happens when you don't keep windows locked inside a virtual machine.

Most devices generate a random IPv6 address and change it frequently. Your browser fingerprint is much more useful for device tracking than your IP address anyways.

Just because each device has a globally routable IP address doesn't mean they can be accessed from outside your LAN. You still have to add a firewall rule to open a port to the device.

You can put a big hard drive in an external enclosure and use it for offline backups. There is no point in paying for cloud storage for something you can just download again if needed. Save the cloud storage for backing up non-replaceable data.

Arch is about as minimal as you can get. You won't even have a text editor if you don't specifically install one. You won't be able to connect to the internet to install that text editor if you don't install the software to configure the network connection either. I made that mistake the first time I installed Arch.

It's only decent until you need to do something the GUI doesn't support. Then it will overwrite whatever you changed in the CLI or luci every time it boots up.

There is really no need to make them that thin. TVs used to be a couple feet thick and wall mounting a TV meant cutting a big hole in the wall. 2 or 3 inches thick is nothing.

10,000 and 15,000 rpm drives were made obsolete by SSDs and were discontinued several years ago. They are slower than many modern 7,200 rpm drives.

Remember, if it requires an internet connection or an app, the manufacturer can take features away whenever they want to.
