VoiceAttack can be used to freely create arbitrary voice commands with pretty good recognition accuracy. It can send KB&M or gamepad inputs and run scripts and various other features. I used to use it to supplement controls for Elite: Dangerous and it worked pretty well. I imagine it'd get tiresome for complex games but could be good for simpler games, and for other computer tasks. https://voiceattack.com/Default.aspx

There are tons of potential accessibility devices like specialized buttons and breath control etc, but they're usually expensive medical devices or custom builds. The other commenters have already mentioned the consumer products I'm aware of.

So that's what happened.

The last time I bought from them (a few years ago now), I chose to buy an item from them instead of Amazon, to support less monolithic companies and because they used to have good reputation. I did this even though it was a few dollars more for the same item (like $23 vs $20, I think it was a dvd drive). It turns out they were just buying the Amazon item and reselling it at the higher price, it arrived in the original Amazon box with a new shipping label slapped on top.

TS releases do have good audio. Cams in general have a lot of visual problems though; poor color accuracy, warping, incomplete frames, sometimes people moving around, things like that. Also pretty much every cam I've seen lately has been covered in ads for sketchy gambling sites throughout the entire runtime. None of this makes for a good viewing experience.

Also, I don't think I've ever seen a cam with subtitles available.

I expect they mean the site google.com, because that's been my experience. Whenever I get captcha'd there for using a VPN (which is getting more and more common), I always see the Maps image style captcha. Like 60% of the time it tells me I'm wrong anyway and I just give up.

With opnwrt you can do DNS hijacking, where you force redirect DNS requests for other servers to your own DNS server. This works as long as they aren't encrypted (DNS over HTTPS or TLS), which most devices don't use.

I almost did this for a different reason, people choose python because it has some pretty good web automation/scraping libraries to work with.

Yes, ProtonVPN still provides port forwarding. They randomly assign you a single port every time you connect, so you'll have to update the settings in qB occasionally, but it's manageable.

Correct, Backblaze is their own host and post on their blog often about their tech and processes. They've got a lot of good info on how they designed their server storage racks and stats on drive failures by brand etc

Auto injected context-aware ads are becoming increasingly common these days. Lots of podcast providers will use your IP or user information (if available) to select ads for your area or personal data and and they'll splice it into your download. It almost always interrupts the flow of discussions but the ones I've heard are at least usually good enough to happen at the end of sentences and not mid sentence or mid word.
