Hopefully the Chinese won't ban their companies from selling to US companies because we'll be screwed... specially because US companies design things to break fast.

You can expect that the NASA did true 4K without blur and at a good zoom level...

I wish that I could download all the information that Google has on me, but I was stupid and I asked them to hide it from me...

Even if you would film it in 480p, I could re-encode it in 4k... Blu-rays used to do this, not sure if they still do (I don't get physical media anymore)...

In this case, the zoom might matter more then anything else...

My favorite is https://ns.reddit.com ... and I use the Redirector Firefox addon to redirect all reddit links to this domain ... but of course that probably won't work for much longer

One problem with this is social engineering... someone could call the company to recover their password and say that they entered garbage for the security question...

I started to enter passphrases instead

If you think that, you haven't used a cellphone lately ... You pay full price (actually, probably more then what it should be) and you don't own it...
