While I think most agree with you, it's important to note there is more to networking than WAN access. Streaming 4k in your home network over WiFi sounds pretty awesome for security cameras and other self-hosted medias.

Can you expand on some of this?

I haven't really heard much regarding them being bad to their community/customer base, though I haven't bought in a few years.

In regards to cost/performance, what are you meaning you'd need to spend extra on to match that of an old laptop or recycled machine?

From a different post for this link: "Wow, this is so sad. I didn't know there was a Wonder Man thing in production either."

Sounds like it's working

My issue with the demands to have apple allow iMessage on other platforms is that then we could get stuck with the expectation of catering to those users.

There already are encrypted messengers like signal, telegram, or even WhatsApp. Why aren't people pushing at Apple users to make that switch themselves

The choice of it being given in a large sum is interesting. I recognize I have the bias of giving money to individuals with fear that it will be misused, but I do think it has to do with amount. If someone gave me $20 randomly, I'd be much more likely to impulse spend it than if I was given $1,000. With a large sum it feels more impactful to save/invest/pay bills than needing to contribute small amounts consistently.

The first thing that springs to mind is something like a "magic mirror". I haven't delved into it a ton, but I'm fairly certain that it would be able to hit most of your criteria.

That being said, I'd think it could be a decent enough starting point to at least find other things in the same vein.

If my only measure of worth was someone's job and the circumstances they acquired it, I would say that it is entirely irresponsible to make any fair judgement.

Hotdogs are tacos and corn dogs are calzones.

Has the Jellyfin app improved for Roku in recent years? Last I tried it, maybe 2 years ago, it was near unusable from a UI perspective

You're not wrong. I am most certainly projecting how I believe I might behave given the situation. And I do agree with the idea that once you give something, it's not up to you to decide how it's used. Like the article is pointing out, these biases are frighteningly common that funds will be used in negative ways (drugs/alcohol).

I am, however, trying to paint a more "accurate" picture for how most people would be charitably giving/receiving (small denominations, namely). Would that change in amount be significant in how it is then utilized.
