Ignorance ≠ Climate Denier.
That's a very dangerous and devicive rhetoric.

If Trump loses this election, where does the Republican party have to go?

Denial, subversion and violence?

I think the supposed risk to electronic voting machines is that there would need to be thousands of them, are distributed, somewhat unattended, and operated by people that don't know them.
The possibility of an exploit or misconfiguration increases, and the ability to compromise someone supervising one of the polling station increases.
If there is are centralised systems, fewer higher skilled people would be required to secure/monitor/run the system. It can also be airgapped.

While some of these risks are also applicable to in-person and mail-in voting, these systems have been around for ages, are not proprietary, and anyone can figure out "how it works" and can make sure "how it happened" matches.
As soon as you get into cryptographic vulnerabilities and security, 99.99% of people would be lost in the woods

The rest of the questions, I feel, are more systematic things.

"well, I don't want to be racist and I try not to be racist. Is there something I can improve on or that I'm ignorant of?"

If you aren't racist then it flips the onus back on them to prove you are racist, while also showing any offense you might have caused to be accidental and that you are willing to self-improve

I thought OpenWRT doesn't support modems due to licencing issues.
So, I guess you would need a separate modem, or ISP router in bridge mode, or double NAT with OpenWRT being DMZ

DRM = Direct Render Manager

I had no idea, was confused, and the article never de-acronyms/initialisms the term

Starting with a pool of all users who use alternative DNS for any reason, users of pirate sites – especially sites broadcasting the matches in question – were isolated from the rest. Users of both VPNs and third-party DNS were further excluded from the group since DNS blocking is ineffective against VPNs.

Proust found that the number of users likely to be affected by DNS blocking at Google, Cloudflare, and Cisco, amounts to 0.084% of the total population of French Internet users. Citing a recent survey, which found that only 2% of those who face blocks simply give up and don’t find other means of circumvention, he reached an interesting conclusion.

“2% of 0.084% is 0.00168% of Internet users! In absolute terms, that would represent a small group of around 800 people across France!”

I wonder how much the court case cost, and if those costs are in anyway likely to be recouped even if all 800 of those convert to a subscription.

I believe PCIe 4.0 wasnt that useful for big server farms, because network cards were already at 400gbps. Even at 100gbps networking, that's only 2 ports.
PCIe 5.0 is only 1 port of 400gbps.
So PCIe 6.0 is the next actually big step for a lot of servers, so you can finally get dual 400gbps ports on 1 card

The fact that all the video is from 1 angle is the biggest giveaway.
If it was good inside the box, there would be loads of footage from there. That would be a very unique experience, because all of these things are forced perspective. It's just the way a 3d scene being rendered onto 2d surface viewed in a 3d world works.

The water is probably abstract enough that it's not as noticeable, but I bet it looks weird AF (and not in a good way) when you are sitting in there
