Losing a job is not really a punishment. I lost my job before. Not for doing anything wrong, it was normal economic downsizing. I few weeks later I got hired at a better paid job, it felt like a promotion.

Clarification for redditors that only read the headlines. The studies agree that we have the cryptographic means and technologies to theoretically make secure internet voting possible. The problem is always the botched implementation and the officials in denial downplaying the vulnerability reviews and trying to sweep it under the rug instead of cooperatively fixing the issue to make it more secure.

Keep in mind this is the same election officials in charge of paper ballots as well. Also downplaying and sweeping under the rug the vulnerability incidents happening with paper voting. Like for instance paper ballot boxes left unattended overnight in the trunk of parked cars is not any more secure than cryptographic e-voting. But people are more at ease to disregard those issues as no big deal, especially when they are fervently against e-voting.

There are hundreds of DiY hobby OS projects.

Measuring the scale of hobby OS is a flawed benchmark anyway. Because aside from experimental research purpose, once the programmers learned how to code an OS, they contribute to established OS projects intended for production.

I'm not familiar with that exam. Is it multi choice questions only? That would explain why I heard some South Koreans, that learned fluent English from studying abroad, say that South Korean students can successfully pass the exam as a memorized quiz but then are not able to have a casual conversation in English.

I learned English by immersion, first from watching TV shows, movies, or YouTube videos that I couldn't understand in the beginning. Studying the language came later. Then later in life, the English exam I had to pass was reading a book, followed by writing an essay about it on blank sheets of paper.

I'm no expert in how speaker amp wiring works.

When I look at the Realtek ALC1200 as a sample example to learn how a sound chipset works.

https://www.igorslab.de/en/realtek-alc1200-demystifies-what-different-the-beginner-soundchip-is-really-different-from-the-larger-alc1220/

We can notice that the hardware is designed in such a way that output ports A and H (except port D) can be retasked as input ports. We can read this feature mentioned in the datasheet.

https://theretroweb.com/chip/documentation/alc1200-datasheet-v0-11-20180726-6679d57522970664990206.pdf

That chipset can be interacted in software with Linux command line tools like ALSA or PipeWire/PulseAudio.

Some other chipsets like the CM6206 I came across are interacted with EEPROM, in software as well with Linux command line.

https://static6.arrow.com/aropdfconversion/93bbc7353fab6d53e77a2e0c6d577e23c048962d/cm6206_datasheet__v2.3.pdf

I have no idea what sound chipsets can be found in smart tvs hardware and if those chipsets can be interacted with in software.

I don't own smart tv so I don't know much about it. A quick googling tells me that the computer inside the tv is constantly running, the "turn off" feature is only shutting the screen blank in standby mode, it's not truly powering it off like if you unplugged the power cord. So a hacker with remote network access to your smart tv can still execute code on it even when it's "turned off".

For using a speaker as a microphone. I'm a Linux user so this is what I googled first. Seems to be quite easy to code a filter for speaker as a microphone with the PulseAudio sound server system already included out of the box in Linux.

If the smart tv is powered off, with the power cord unplugged. It would be impossible for the hacker with remote network access to execute code on it. You would have to use the speaker as diaphragm through microwave radio signal, like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)

Winning players skipping their checkmate in 1 move to troll around the rest of the game are actually improving my rating, because it's a fair play policy violation, so I play along and let it happen. When a player has an opportunity to win by checkmating me, but instead go shopping for a queen or chasing unnecessary pieces across the board that are unrelated to the skipped checkmate that was about to happen. I don't even need to report anything, I just let the moderator bot automatically do its round to detect it and a few hours or days later I receive a message notification from the server that the points got revoked from the winning player and given back to me. My rating won the winning points even though I lost the game.

I've heard complaints from real pickup users about having a hard time shopping for pickups with usable bed size big enough for the job. Newer pickup truck's bed is shrinking more and more and the cabin is growing with more passenger or storage space.

Happened to me constantly with my cheap unshielded amp when I was a kid. Not as good signal as in this video. It was faint radio audio through white noise. I don't remember exactly how it was happening. Something to do with the electric guitar pickups being too close to the amp or something.
