even beyond that the DNS works fine but the filtering would be turned off.

not always because they sucked.

Some were replaced by cheaper, easy to mass produce but somewhat inferior products.

Others by some insane reasons by manufacturers to increase their profits or differentiate amongst themselves, pushing for thinner, lighter devices. i would gladly use bulkier devices for better specs and reparability.

a webcam cover or a simple sticky note should work well when not in use. why risk assuming all who has access to your data are ethical?

the article is based on Amazons document and not based on subjective personal experiences.

"amazon lagging behind flipkart" comment was in regards to market penetration in smaller towns. Given that all the gier 1 cities are well covered by the tech giants the next market to tap into would be the small cities and towns. the arsicle indicates thats where amazon it falling behind flipkart in making progress.

why would we want to?

far as I remember, dodo evolved from a south asian bird that adapted to an island with abundant food and no competition. if they were alive today preserving them would mean establishing an uninhabited island that wouldnt get any predators where they can thrive.

but there already are many species like that that could use our help.

some already exists but adoption rate is slow for few reasons like not needed for most people or the type of content they host, the crawbacks compared to off-the-shelf hostings when you don't need a censor proof solution, no standard or stable solution ( multiple new products keeps proping up).

The technology alone will never be enough or widely available if the judicial or legislature keep attacking and restricting their use.

both their release cycles and what they consider as stable might differ and not necessarily mean one is better.

yt-dlp still claims to keep track with the parent project. Most would use it for the additional functionalities it provides over youtube-dl.

Not sure which problem you refer to but it is an active repo that has worked well for the past few months atleast.

As any person, if we start caring about the political or moral affiliations of the makers of every single product we use there doesn't seem to be an efficient, reliable source of such information. I can barely avoid a single company let alone all those I dont agree with.

Beyond a limited number of companies who go against popular opinion (possibly bcos their target customers are too), most are going to publicly support all the same socially acceptable stands. This doesn't mean there are some vile people employed in those positive companies or some decent, well meaning pepole working in the bad companies just for a paycheck. it's hard to judge with a simple look.

As a consumer you are free to support or boycott a product on any criteria that you like but question is how much of a realworld difference their placit support for your cause makes.

didnt they try that with youtube-dl ?

though they were able to partially take down the repo it was brought back after the legality ot their claim was analyzed.
