A lot of sensors/gauges in industrial applications are retrofitted with lorawan or similar remote readout capabilities right now. Battery life for these devices is already a big design consideration, especially since not all locations are easily accessible.
With a power source like this you would essentially charge a capacitor, use the stored charge to do a sensor read and short data burst, and then wait for the next charge.
There's actually an HAI video on that. Those names were actually a direct result of an attempt by Amazon to curate their products better. https://youtu.be/_Bq-6GeRhys?si=ih1eyBLJwo7KAVuS
It does exist, its called 801.11ah or wifi HaLow
That standard is mainly designed for things like IOT and wireless security cameras, but nothing stops you from getting an HaLow access point and network adapter.
I have a 4gbit line, and while I usually use Usenet to download a lot of torrents still easily reach 2-3gbit up/down.
I'm working in live video and there's a lot of proprietary codecs out there that vlc doesn't play by default. Most of those are lossless/very high bitrate lossy formats designed to be encoded and decoded quickly for things like instant replays, so not something the average consumer would get their hands on.
Chiming in a bit further on this. Quite a few (Google) devices and apps have started using DNS over Https servers to circumvent things like pihole. Blocking known IP's on my firewall has helped effectiveness quite a bit.
Modding used to be extremely easy and detection systems weren't implemented yet back in the day. I have an account with billions in cash just for being in the same lobby as one.
These days you're still free to ruin everyone's day with all sorts of griefing mods, but once you try and spawn in cash daddy rockstar gets angry at you.
Practically all bikes in the Netherlands still look like that today. They're a tool to get you from A to B and this design has proven very reliable for that.
U-locks for bikes are a rarity as well. Basically all bikes have a lock built-in, that you optionally pair with a chain if you park it somewhere deemed unsafe.
Searching for that Miele C1 canister that's being talked about and it's one of those wheeled ones you pull along behind you.
To me that's just the standard type of vacuum that literally everyone has except for the few flashy gits that have a cordless 'upright' one.
They're called digital signage displays. Those module slots are usually in the intel SDM form factor.
This stuff is expensive as these displays and modules are rated for 24/7 operation and the software they ship with by default is specifically made to manage content on a large fleet of them.
You're honestly gonna get a way better experience for cheaper by getting a normal TV + a NUC/Nvidia shield and just not connecting the TV to a network ever.
People have done it on M1's at least. You'll need a well equipped rework station to do it though, especially since the NAND is essentially glued to the motherboard in addition to solder.
Making a typo in the BGP config is the internet's version of nuclear Armageddon
