They will be very expensive and they don’t even supply enough power to run a digital watch.

That idle power consumption doesn’t seem right. That’s less than a Raspberry Pi.

It looks like the B10 dongle I used is not available anymore. I can’t seem to find any other USB dongles that support Aptx LL and Linux. There are several that plug into a headphone jack though.

As long as the PC isn’t being connected to the internet, there’s no reason you can’t just keep running an old kernel.

Banking can be done in person at the bank. Games and media can be pirated.

Any headphones that support Aptx LL will have a low latency when used with a hardware dongle. I have a pair of 1Mii E700 headphones and a 1Mii B10 dongle. The latency is barely noticeable and the dongle shows up as a sound card in Linux with no configuration needed. The headphones will connect to a phone, but will have the typical bluetooth latency.

I used to run RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi 1 and it was able to play most of the SNES games I tried. Of course that was with no shaders or upscaling.

VPNs are good for torrenting without getting nasty letters from your ISP. Self hosted VPNs are good for securely accessing your home network remotely.

They aren’t trying, they already did it. ATSC 3 broadcasts are encrypted in a lot of cities in the US. The FCC should have never allowed that.

Just don’t allow the students to have their phones when taking tests. They could be left in another room out of bluetooth range or be put in a faraday cage to block the bluetooth signals.

What do you expect when the AI is trained on reddit posts?

Download some live boot images, use Rufus to write them to flash drives, boot them up and try them out. I would suggest starting with something like Mint or Fedora. When you find one you like, back up your data, run the installer and follow the prompts.

OP is running jellyfin, so they can probably watch any 4K videos they want without dealing with DRM and proprietary software.

A lot of distros disable the functions of the magic sysrq key for security reasons. If it’s enabled, it should work as long as the system is still capable of reading keyboard inputs.

That’s why I said to use a component video adapter. It’s an analog signal that has nothing to do with HDMI.

Attach a DP to component video adapter to the TV.

There’s also the Belling-Lee connector. It’s been around since 1922 and is still commonly used for radio and TV antennas in Europe.

You could get a Hetzner storage box. They have unlimited traffic, but only allow 10 simultaneous connections.

The Liberation fonts are open source and licensed under the SIL Open Font License.

One of the better free options is FreeDNS, but you are limited to 5 records.

If you want your own domain, I would suggest Porkbun. They have an API that can be used for dynamic DNS.
