    Modern day computers can't be trusted. It's too easy nowadays to make shit up using them.

    People seem to forget that AI has been around for decades. It's just that when people used to say "AI", it meant "i wrote a fancy script that makes these digital dudes walk around", and now AI seems to mean some sort or self-learning "neural network" program.

    All told, it really depends on what you define as AI.

    I really must insist on survival, and not merely shipping a container of bacteria into space with human sludge to feed upon. I mean, I still think that would be an interesting experiment, but I'm not going to pay for it.

    I'll happily pay for it. After all, something similar is my explanation as to how life appeared on earth in the first place (transported from Mars on asteroids)

    Is it Microsoft's fault for making such a good product, people still want to use it 15 years after release and 2 years after support has ended? It's rare to see something so beloved come from Redmond. It's probably second only to 7 with Hotmail trailing in 3rd

    So you'd like a potentially exploitable version of the router software burned into an unpatchable ROM.

    I'd agree with you if you wanted to go for user replaceable ROM. Still doesn't stop RAM resident malware. Sure, a restart would work, but that's usually only done when the wifi drops out.

    Why not get rid of that pesky ARM core and replace it with an intel processor... Then you could install it into a clamshell-like chassis, install a battery, screen and a keyboard/trackpad. It would make it super portable and could run standard x86 Windows
