False advertisement is never ok.

A user configurable "hardware" privacy switch is a contradiction in itself. If it can be controlled by software it can't do what the marketing claims 🤦

Otherwise, Mediatek soc... likely riddled by binary blob drivers and bad mainline kernel support, but lets see.

Because there exists only one place in the world and that is called US of A? 🙄

Saudi Arabia is still the biggest oil exporter in the world (as of 2024). If you drive an internal combustion car anywhere, chances are high that you paid the Sheiks at least some money for doing so.

Not really, as traveling by bus is quite popular in Europe as well. I just personally try to avoid it when there are better options.

Yeah, those have been pretty common with similar comfort in Latin America since decades. I always wondered why they never made the jump accross the pond.

But traveling by bus kinda sucks. I rather take a sleeper train or a high speed one than a bumpy slow bus (or car).

I have bad news for you if you drive a non-electric car 😏

Soon to be found in the attic of some AfD linked nazi for sure 😓

Typically a video-chat server does no transcoding so this isn't a major issue. But for hosting a Peertube or Owncast server it would.

The old A/V chats in Matrix were just Jitsi-meet in disguise, but this has been largely deprechiated now with Element Calls.

Bitcoin and Ethereum only have liquidity in the market because scammers use it for their pig butchering etc. scams. And all the major exchanges are complicit in that. Many Banks are scammy, yes, but not that scammy by a long shot. Sorry to burst your bubble 🤷

https://movim.eu/ can do that AFAIK, but for now the A/V calls don't go through an SFU distribution server (coming soonish), so it will not scale to many participants. But if you want to only stream to a few people (like max. 5 or so, depends a bit on your and their internet speed) it should work.

If 99.9% of PCs were solely made to steal your credit card info, then yes.
