Anonymous telemetry is more than justified if it improves system stability. I don't think they do remotely the tracking other browser vendors like Microsoft or Google do.
Except when the browser won't start, and then loses all your previous session, because your internet is out when you start it and so it can't do whatever 'necessary' telemetry and verification it needs.
Yes, just happened to me. Not happy about losing my session. Even less happy about the dependency and what might be being telemetered or 'verified'.
Not quite unspoofable, at least once the signal has been received for time-delayed rebroadcasting/meaconing.
But spoofing does become detectable by any receiver with a sufficiently accurate clock (I think for complete protection it would have to be an atomic clock though).
I'm a surf photographer and rely on my camera automatics a lot. They are allowed to move freely within defined limits.
99% of my pictures are technically fine.
I only use full manual if the picture job needs it.
Most of the time setting the aperture is enough (and the camera allows to set the exposure time and ISO automatically, but set limits which to automatics is not allowed to cross). On the other side action/sport photography is mostly shutter time bound - then the other side around.
Either go with this Sipheed GoWin FPGA boards or get one of these recycled Bitcoin miner controller boards (Zynq 7010) or reverse engineered LED controllers from ColorLight/Linsn which use a Spartan/Lattice.
I started writing a reply in disagreement, lamenting on the long-gone the pre-COVID times when we were buying sub-$10 Max10 devices, and bitching how Intel killed Altera, letting Xilinx to jack-up the prices.
Boy, am I happy I decided to do some googling before pressing send…
Although Xilinx indeed has jacked up the prices, the sub-$10 Altera category is still alive and well.
Furthermore, both Lattice and Renesas have devices in sub-$5 category.
For super cheap programmable logic, Renesas has a sub-$1 simple programmable logic devices.
