How do they know what os you run? I want to see proof of this.
The most common phrasing of this is "How do cellular carriers detect tethering?" Methods include IP TTL/hop count values, MAC numbers, TCP implementation fingerprinting, User-agent of cleartext HTTP requests, and sniffing DNS/SNI for requests to OS update servers. A Cisco manual explains what Cisco ECS does.
Why on earth would one want to protect a file download against third parties?
Two reasons:
A. Protect a proprietary work from being downloaded by third parties who have not paid for access to the work B. Protect a work from being modified in transit
[TLS] is only a transport PRIVACY measure against third-parties interposed between the two end-points (who may not be who you think they are)
My reply depends on what attack model you had in mind that results in the parties not being "who you think they are". Does it involve defrauding a CA? Typosquatting? Something else that you'll describe?
What does the neighborhood of Hollywood or even the US movie industry have to do with HTTPS? Let's Encrypt offers free certificates to anyone who owns a domain name.
I've read it's a lot harder to install a local root certificate on an iPhone, iPad, Android phone, or Android tablet than on, say, a desktop computer. Besides, as of Android 7, local root certificates don't even work in all apps unless each app's developer has opted into using local root certificates through the app's Network Security Config.
An individual can form a LLC or Corp C/S with tax ID for a few hundred dollars.
Google Search pulls up "How to Incorporate a Business", and I understand about half of what's written there. Could you recommend an introductory book or the like that describes likely pitfalls in incorporating a software or entertainment business and how to avoid them?
You can get a static IP and domain name for $25/month (not at your residence, but that isn't required).
This would be a VPS to use as a VPN endpoint, correct?
Crostini works on a new enough Chromebook. It does not work on older Chromebook models because of lack of support for the container in older CPUs and kernel versions. In order to measure the overall user experience, I'll have to see whether sales staff at Walmart, Best Buy, and Office Depot are knowledgeable about whether the Chromebook models in stock support "Crostini" or "Linux apps".
Are there any games development conferences (or games conferences) near you any time soon at which you could meet indie developers that have been through this learning curve?
I don't know. How would I go about finding those in a given area (such as northeast Indiana)? Would I need to buy a car to attend one?
Why do you need it updated if you don't use the internet on it?
Many proprietary applications will not run without Internet access because they phone home continuously to verify the continued validity of the software license. I was under the impression that some Autodesk products had instituted this requirement of phoning home.
Does your ISP charge you for using windows? but not linux/macos?
Some cellular ISPs charge subscribers for using Windows, macOS, or desktop Linux, as opposed to iOS or Android.
Last I checked, a VM required twice the RAM compared to dual booting: half for the host and half for the guest. That's difficult for people who have already maxed out a motherboard's RAM slots. It also requires the purchase of an operating system license.
A dedicated audio and video chat app is preferred.
If the person with whom you are attempting to communicate prefers a "dedicated audio and video chat app" exclusive to macOS and iOS, would you buy a Mac, an iPhone, or an iPad for the purpose of communicating with this person?
Blocking autoplay of content adhering to the WW3/ECMA standard as a first pass and then blocking the hacks one at a time.
CSS animations are a W3C standard, and JavaScript animations are the result of an ECMA standard (ECMAScript) interacting with W3C standards (HTML DOM and CSS).
"An American international company CAUGHT following/respecting local laws in a country they do business!!!"
Could be rephrased: "An American international company CAUGHT doing business in the first place in a country where local law requires violating human rights!!!"
If sexual preference is biologically determined, just how is gender a social construct ?
"Gender" is a bundle of personality and expression stereotypes that a culture assigns to a sex. Raise children as "theybies", without the burden of pressure to act stereotypically "masculine" or "feminine", and one source of tension in society disappears. The preference for penis or not can then be reserved for the bedroom.
1. Autoplay of video in web pages including the muted but still being played lameness including streamed GIFs and other hacks - (annoyance, bandwidth)
See for example demonstrations of some of these hacks. But how exactly would you propose to detect them and block block them, without breaking not only the JavaScript needed for web applications but also the CSS needed for even static HTML documents?
2. Access to the microphone built into Firefox - an exploit waiting to happen - (privacy)
Would you prefer having to use a native voice chat app? That runs the risk of "We're sorry! The voice chat application is not available for your platform."
3. Access to the camera built into Firefox - an exploit waiting to happen - (privacy)
Would you prefer having to use a native video chat app? That runs the risk of "We're sorry! The video chat application is not available for your platform."
just get an appleTV or comparable device and you'll be better off.
That fails when your cellular ISP charges more for bytes sent to and received from an Apple TV device than for bytes sent to and received from an app running on the iPhone. People had been using AirPlay to avoid a tethering surcharge.
The agreements that allow Netflix to carry programming produced by entities other than Netflix include a requirement for Netflix to behave as a standards body with respect to compliance and robustness.
You have to realize that Netflix still has to make deals to get any content they don't produce themselves, and that means getting the other side to agree to those deals. It may very well be that language prohibiting these types of things is written into those agreements.
But why should these restrictions affect Netflix originals? Do the agreements between the streaming division of Netflix and the video production division of Netflix have the same restrictions, and if so, why?

encrypted traffic can't use the internet's caching infrastructure which would benefit popular downloads
A CDN contracted by the operator of the origin server, such as CloudFront or Cloudflare, can cache HTTPS just as easily as cleartext HTTP.
What does the neighborhood of Hollywood or even the US movie industry have to do with HTTPS? Let's Encrypt offers free certificates to anyone who owns a domain name.
Would a "signing-only cipher suite" make sense?
.exe files are harmless on Linux
Unless the user has installed Wine. Valve's Proton distribution of Wine will only make Wine more commonplace among users of X11/Linux.
You just get one of hundreds of CAs to issue you a cert by MITMing their automated DNS/Website flag planting procedure
Would these be CAs that submit all issued certificates to Certificate Transparency or CAs that do not?
If you visited the site using another browser, you can still do the download.
Another browser won't even run on a pre-Crostini Chromebook.

Google complied with Chinese law by ceasing to do business in China. I imagine that opponents of censorship would prefer that Apple follow suit.
Then switch your comment post mode from "HTML Formatted" to "Plain Old Text", which runs the equivalent of PHP nl2br() on each post.
