You'll never fit the game in the boot sector of a floppy disk if you write it in python.

If you put every option in a GUI, there would be so much stuff that nobody could find anything.

To add it to Firefox search, open about:config and add a boolean value browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh set to true. This will allow you to manually add search engines. Then open the search settings and click add. Set the URL to https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=%s, give it a name and click "Add Engine".

It doesn't even matter if it's a trusted seller. Amazon puts their returned items back with the new products and they stock the items from every seller together. You can have 10 sellers with a genuine item and 1 with a counterfeit item and have a chance of getting the counterfeit item from any of them because they all share the same stock.

Do you really think you are going to find a working CD drive in 100+ years? Try finding a working 8" floppy drive and a computer that can interface with one. They are only 50 years old and it's quite a task to read an 8" floppy now.

Data has to be transferred to new media as it becomes available if you want to keep it and be able to read it decades later.

The HDMI licensing BS makes it rather useless. At least most monitors and GPUs have DisplayPort now. It's mostly just TVs that are still limited to HDMI.

It's better than having some streaming service delete your show while your in the middle of watching it. It's also better than finding out you can only watch in SD because they don't approve of your CPU, GPU, monitor, operating system or web browser after paying for a subscription.

I'm curious as to whether the router manufacturer included a back door or if the FBI used the same exploit that was used to infect the routers in the first place.

I did that about 10 years ago because I got tired of removing malware for them. They haven't had any malware since then.
