Why do people not seem to understand this is primary for price fixing scams and information filtering. Like seriously, that is fundamental to Amazon. The obscure overlapping product categories, multiple products inside a single listing, and multiple sellers per listing; all of that nonsense would make an impossible to manage back end for real logistics. Every single part of that is a price fixing scam.
Every time you see someone show a google search on YT or in a blog, try and replicate their search results. If someone bribes Google, your search results will show all irrelevant or misdirected results and the advertiser's results will be all that you see. In many cases, the advertiser is not even relevant to your query. The real results are not on any of the following pages either. This is the easy one to verify. The same thing is happening in all aspects of life that are not easily verified.
Selling digital data is a form of slavery. Your digital presence is a fundamental part of your person no different than an arm or a leg. There is no such thing as anonymous data. This is theft of autonomy. Autonomy is a cornerstone of citizenship and democracy with self determination.
These are criminal actions to steal a part of a person for manipulation and thievery.
It should be a commitment to complete register level public documentation.
That is the benchmark of true ownership.
Android is a Linux kernel google prepares so that the kernel modules (drivers) for the device hardware can be added at the last possible moment. These kernel modules are added as binaries directly on the device. This is called an orphaned kernel. The source code for these binary modules is not publicly available, and the devices hardware is not publicly documented. This is how they steal ownership of the device.
The alternative is either to merge the original source code into the kernel, which the community can then maintain for decades, or simply make the documentation public and we will write our own kernel modules to support the device.
There is no reason to obfuscate this information except for theft of ownership. There is no security in obscurity, and hiding this information makes the hardware far less safe for the end user.
No one can ever update the Linux kernel for security or their own use case. Without the ability to recompile the kernel modules for the hardware, it is impossible to completely own the device. You can never trust the hardware, because those binaries are not verified.
The modem on the device is the same. There is no documentation. Between the processor and modem, there is no way to determine what or who is connected to your device at any time. Every interface on the device is untrusted.
Fixing all of this is simple; require full register level and API documentation of all digital devices. Anything less than this simple standard is ultimately giving up democracy for neo feudalism and authoritarianism. You have a right to own your tools as a citizen; a right to autonomy. A serf does not have a right of ownership or full autonomy. Citizens are a fundamental requirement for democracy, as serfs are to feudalism. Not caring about this fundamental issue is ultimately selling your autonomy. It is a regression of a thousand years of human sociopolitical progress.
It is a simple problem to solve. Quit watching their ads, tuning into their media, and playing their games no matter what they put out. Get online and say so. The internet is scraped and making such comments will be found. A bad game review is a win for those making these decisions. It shows that they made crap but you still bought it. It is a message that hype and ads/media are all that matter. Start saying you are indifferent, used to be a customer, and will not purchase as long as XYZ is in charge or they are doing ABC, and that information will make a difference, even here.
For instance, this account has been dox'd on Lemmy. I know it, but do not care. I see content suggestions tailored to stuff I have talked about on here even though I minimize my online fingerprint for the most part. Everything public is scaped and the data is filtering down to relevant sources. This is the modern world. So get the asshats fired.
Look up Andrew McNeil on YouTube if you can. He has lots of content and examples. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHqwzhcFOsoFFh33Uy8rAgQ
Without a vector network analyzer with the bandwidth for 2.4/5.8 GHz to tune the signal frequency well, you are poking around in the dark when it comes to real performance.
I've built some antennas including a one for WiFi. It made a small difference for awhile, but it turned out there is an error of some kind in the OpenWRT kernel or in the hardware design of the device. It took me a long time to isolate the problem. The router was unable to transition between the 2.4 and 5.8 bands smoothly and was causing problems. I actually get better range and performance by disabling the 2.4 GHz radio entirely. My issue of the bad 2.4 radio is probably unrelated to whatever you're dealing with, but it is something to think about and maybe test out if you're trying to improve router performance.

I have a new respect for medieval leather armor now.

In many historical societies including ancient Christian, Jewish, and Islamic societies, usury meant the charging of interest of any kind, and was considered wrong, or was made illegal.[3]
BTW chrishitery should be the next capitalist McCarthyism. Muhh! red hats!
They would fix it, but no one is willing to come forward to admit there is a problem.

Someone needs to make this IRL and bring it to one of the events where people like to show off their robotic DIY R2D2's.
