Lets see, your desktop PC gets a bit out of whack and suddenly the whole file system in borked. The OP says he is using Intel fake raid on windows. Other common things, your windows box gets a virus and starts encrypting everything sure snapshots (if the malware can not touch them) will save you from this. In general bitrot is a thing modern drives have CRC's etc but not realy suficient, things like ZFS, BTRFS, Gluster etc etc can do bitrot detection far about a single sector. Things like snapraid can do it for arbitrary sets of drives.
In any event you would want at least one copy thats offline preferably with physical distance.
Not internet per say but last mile data as a utility. You get to your ISP your cable tv etc etc etc via them. It's realy not that hard all passive optics fully in the level of what the muni's are good at dealing with basic infrastructure. CWDM keeps them out of bitrates macsec keeps them from peeking at the data. Mind you I dont mind the muni offering there own internet frankly ipv6 makes it pretty easy to allow access to muni resource like police fire schools libraries and the like even other people in your town.
Na they are fixing that modern tables comming with usbc so easy to get the current dongle to get Ethernet attached. Hells they can get thunderbolt over that connector if they want to.
No website should be able to force auto playing video. At the end of the day my web browser is mine and the builders should understand that. Sites being able ot auto play anything without my ability to turn it off or preferably be off by default is broken design.
Out here in the burbs you think uber going to want to do a dump run? Uber would costs me far more than my car just replacing the 2 or 3 trips a day I make.
Uber and automated cars are great now get to the right lane and let me pass in a v8.
Lets see. So that network it goes through can not sell my need for milk and eggs to advertisers. So that things that do need to be encrypted do not stand out. Because in some places the things you talk with your spouse about have a semi privilege. I want to insure it's realy my wife not somebody impersonating her.
No it's not. It does not have even close to the capacity to deal with any significant numbers of users. Spot Beams help a lot but your still not going to cram a lot of users into it especially not if they are living close to each other.
It's common it's also a bad idea. Granted getting utilities to feed from 2 substations via diverse paths is a pita unless the location was picked for that purpose. While I know it's all too common it's far better to split utility and run a gen set(s) per UPS and keep physical separation between them thus their own ATS gear. None of that matters if the fire trucks roll in and insist on everything being shut down.
Not realy failing to do thorough testing carries excessive risk. It would be very rare indeed that proper thermal imaging would not have caught this before it was a fire. That takes humans vs a control panel that runs the gen sets once a week etc.
Once the fire dept is onsite all bets are off. They will kill power from the other generators etc to insure crew safety. This is where prep is key so that they feel safe working an electrical fire without killing all power.
At 500 servers thats not realy a whole lot of data center real estate. A well build DC would not have the A and B buss gen sets next to each other though all bets are off once you get some overzealous firefighters on site. Having no DR setup in place is laughable.
VPN only needs to go to the firewall so pretty much just over wifi for most people. I would doubt they would be sending to many packets to often as this would all seem to be sourced from iplayer to give the vans something to find. Mind you many VPN's allready can do compression and merging of small packets.
I had tivo for more than a decade first directivo to get pure digitial copies of direct tv and then tivo with cable cards. Tivo is like apple now they keep locking things down more, it took forever to steam from one tivo to another in the home. A major issue with these heavily locked down systems if they slow progress. Tivo ends up being a rent seeker selling you hardware and then charging outrageous fee's to keep them working.
At the end of the day everybody needs to realize none of this should have ever been legal, we let them get away with a couple decades of its digital so we need more protections. With that we missed having firewire connect the whole media center much they they are trying to do with HDMI 15 years later.
CCI's copy once is part of the problem, the cable companies should not be in the position to decide how and how often you copy something. None of this puts a dent in piracy it merely keeps consumers locked into ecosystems.
Not realy that hard to hook up spam type filtering at voip providers problem is it's very hard for an end user to determine what voip provider they are using and block them in entirety.
At best those third party boxes will push the cable companies to open up theirs. If it's free with services vs pay for them 99% is going to use whatever the cable co gives them.

If they are going for the Darwin award does it matter either way?
Scary part is the fiber that would have been put in in the 70's would work today. It's proven over a long time to be adaptable.
It's eco smugness and should be a cause for death.

At lot will do on how you can pay for it. If a used car dealer can wrap that into the purchase price and get a bank to float it thats a possibility.
Right now a used leaf is more valuable as a cheap used battery pack than the 8k a 2012-13 is going for with 80% or better battery is going for.
Sure if your childless and live in a city.

Switch to ting the low usage phones are 6 a month with their usage being a rounding error. 6 lines with 2 heavy users is well under 100.
Not with a battery worth a damn.
And she will be the one filing for child support and raking you over the coals.

That's just for starters.
Yup just what I want a cloud service to unlock my door and turn off the alarm. While your at it why dont ya delete the CCTV footage.

It's looking at packet size. Pretty trivial to alter a VPN client to always send max size MTU's via padding.
Your use case is needing to strip off HDCP from a PC output and record it? Seems like a lot of effort vs recoding it from the frame buffer.
