I loved smith charts during my microwave classes in college. I've always felt like there should be a fun game based on the mechanics of using a smith chart.
If you (or anyone else) are interested in getting into embedded email me at my username @ gmail. We're currently looking for a couple. Coming from Java/Python is a plus
I almost never turn on my camera unless I'm hosting a status meeting (and I don't expect other too). Most of my 'video' calls are with one or two other people debugging something and sharing my screen. When compiling and running stuff my pc is already struggling, no reason to bog it down more with someone's face.
The only people that seem to care about people turning on their camera are those who's job is to communicate with people all day long. I get it, but at the same time stop trying to change others behavior to make you happy.
It's a lot like those who hate work from home because they no longer have a social life. Don't make ME commute to work and fake 9+ hours of work so YOU can have a social life
I think this is a result of adults making up a much larger share of gamers and profits to gaming companies.
I've noticed myself doing this and I can pause it if I try but I don't think I can turn it off. Playing games as a kid, it was all about exploration and doing fun things. I didn't beat many games but I played a lot of them. As an adult, I need to be setting goals and earning achievements. There always needs to be something I'm working towards.
It's fun planning/achieving at first but after a few weeks it just feels like i've given myself another job then i get burnt out and reset.
I haven't played battlefield 2042. I bet you're right that portal mode is fun but I'm willing to bet if I was to play I would probably start to express the same sentiment that there's no point in playing portal mode if it doesn't help me progress in the game. It's stupid and I have a hard time admitting it but it's true.
Sometimes I wish I could just enjoy a game for what it is and not be thinking about "what next?" or "what does this accomplish?". I think its just because we're adults (and probably because we have fully developed prefrontal cortexes?)

I started using this to keep track of university assignments. 8 years later it's still my go to for personal things. It serves a different purpose then a calendar but the two together solve everything I need
I've always thought it was like a smoke shop. They say their products are for tobacco but everyone knows what its really for. Same with VPN, they say it's for all those things above but accessing geo-restricted content seems like the real reason.
To your point about others not teaching well to preserve their status, I'm sure it exists but not that prevalent. I think people who have known something for a long time just forget how to empathize with not understanding what they've known for so long.
For this reason alone I think this is why fellow students tend to be much better at tutoring/helping each other instead of their professors.
The issue is that the scanning happens on your device just before upload. So now your own device is scanning for illegal activity _on_ your phone not the servers.
The second issue is that it will alert authorities.
In regards to CSAM content those issues may not sound terrible. But the second it is expanded to texts, things you say, websites you visit or apps you use it's a lot scarier. And what if instead of CSAM content it is extended to alert authorities for _any_ activity deemed undesirable by your government
It will probably work as well as it does for murderers. There's not really a demand for murder so there's not continually new people filling their shoes when they get arrested.
Drug dealers on the other hand will never go away no matter how many you arrest. There will always be more people willing to buy drugs and a new dealer ready to step up and make a profit.

If you outgrow this I would recommend moving to some sort of Xilinx Arty Spartan board
