For the same to less $$ you can get a laptop also silent also has wifi. Fixed config desktops are pretty useless it's all the disadvantages of a laptop with none of the advantages and generally for more money.
But a MAC address goes no further than the first L3 device. It's trivial to change and randomized by default on a VM. It's closer tot he VIN number on your car.
Ok so you're going to fiddle with making your own firewall.
You use a dedicated bit of hardware, $240 for a useless fixed config box. I can get a more powerfull laptop that is also silent and can run multiple VM's for the same to less. It also has a built in UPS and wifi that may be able to used as an AP a usb3 to gigabit dongle takes care of the second port.
You install ubuntu and throw a few iptable rules in, because obviously years of getting to a sane default with pfsence etc means nothing.
You still need a wifi AP and generally the standalone AP's cost more than a router.
If you're doing this would assume you allready have a VM hosts in the house that you could just run pfsence on. I did this for a decade. You can get 40+ mbs of vpn traffic out of a high end wifi router. Mind you routers used to come with bits like the BCM5365P that could do 75 mbs in hardware (and that is an ancient 2005 ish chip).
Well the only method he would easily have at his disposal is a tax thats pretty obvious. Those other countries tend to prop up business via cheap capital. Want to get manufacturing back in the US look at the EPA, zoning, the cost of electricity and raw materials then look at the enormous tax burdens we put on business. Would you want to put in a new factory thats worth a billion an then pay property taxes on it? Fight for decades to get past every not in my back yard, dictator er zoning board?
Android Auto it takes over the existing touchscreen and has access to the cars gps, steering wheel controls etc etc. If it catches on I expect more devices will become built into the car or as aftermarket addons (probably via BT).
If by infotainment upgrades you mean getting out of the way sure. I want a quality daylight readable touchscreen for the center console, steering wheel controls and HUD. Couple that with some software defined radios, enough that I can receive GPS and a few other positional data, at least one FM/AM/SW receiver and a the two cell phone networks (not a full phone just enough that connected via BT/WIFI/USB a phone could use it probably have to work like a femtocell at first). Reason being I want a real antenna on the outside of the metal box. Add in speakers amps secondary displays etc to fill out the package. Reality is I'm going to change my smartphone ever few years it's perfectly capable of running all the car bits but I'm keeping the car for 10-20 years.
How may of those use cases also requires a lot of bandwidth to the GPU board itself? A 16 lane gen 3 has less bandwidth than a dingle stick of ddr3 1600 memory. So a GPU in a 1 lane 16 lane physical slot will probably works just as well for most of the GPU use cases. Mind you these chips are pretty anemic with only 2 memory channels and 128gb max ram so the big mem use cases would seem not a great fit anyways.
From the layout this thing seems like a great small SAN/NAS controller, enough CPU grunt etc to get a 1 RU of SFF drives running ZFS etc. Enough RAM and network IO as well.
HA gear ends up knowing more than that. Want to have your house save energy then it needs to know where you are meaning they get tracking info from every member's cell phone.
Those are both pretty much commercial automation. BACnet is pretty ancient as in late 80's. BACnet is a supported openhab protocol and lontalk can bridge over to SNMP and/or BACnet so also be controllable by modern HA gear. The issue is most of the consumer facing stuff is trying to phone home constantly and often needs that connection to work. You probably have BACnet gear installed in the late 80's still running with it's controller gear being updated several times.
I got 4 zwave thermostats for far less than 1 nest. The only feature I can not realy find elsewhere is the slab radiant floor learning. Otherwise my thermostats are happily powered off the relay transformers and operate in a self contained manner. Higher level logic moves setpoints etc. Having that logic in a remote DC never made any sense to me, local low power device today integrated with wifi ap tomorrow. We need a standard for application specific gateway for all this stuff. I have openhab as the top layer logic reaching zwave stuff via a vera, alarm panel via IP and then wired and wireless sensors, wink wifi gear via local IP, Myq via local IP, and mysensors via IP then NRF radio. Granted only openhab and the alarm panel need/have external IP access. Right now everybody is trying to jump on the bandwagon with some proprietary protocol and rent seeking.
Yup it's their right it's also our right to got to war anex the country and "fix" the issue. Neither is a great fix both have huge issues. The rule of law is only effective if you have the guns to back it up.
Problem is they worded the child protection laws so broadly that they pretty much apply whenever child protection says they do. Think of the children after all. You then an unelected child protection writing administrative law to be whatever they want to expand their scope and reach. It's the inherently broken bit of having an enforcement agency write their own rules.
We can automate trains just fine, unions won't let us. A train conductor makes 43 an hour thats right the guy that takes your ticket has a 86k a year job.
Well for me in a small town thats not a big deal grew up with most of them, might have to produce some decent coffee. Being on a keychain they are not hitting a pocket till I'm parked and well out of range.

As in how many would we have to back out of to do this?
Now Amazon just needs to start selling ammo and have your friend order it.

Lets think apple carplay is a lot of this and all over the 2016 models.
Yea that corp server needs wpa-supplicant. Oh yea it' doesnt not ever.

Correct we have the tech it's established it works etc but were still building manually operated trains and were not upgrading the existing ones.
We can automate trains just fine, unions won't let us. A train conductor makes 43 an hour thats right the guy that takes your ticket has a 86k a year job.
Yawn should take all of faxing in on company letterhead to change to email.
Don't tell them they will try and sell it as a feature for 10 bucks a month extra.

The usual requirement is make the police do it first give it a decade or more to work out the bugs. Right now they are failing 3 and 4 far to often.
What your not supposed to program the disarm button to disarm and send the silent alarm?
If you alarm is armed away who would be running a microwave?
