I agree with everything you said, except the part about babies. They do not care about babies, they care about fetuses, and only fetuses that the mother is considering not carrying to term.

Use your own router, if you don't want your traffic/activity watched, you must use a VPN. There are several routers that have built in VPN clients, that should be more convenient then per client VPN.

For reference on what your ISP is using to watch your traffic from the subscriber through the core and to the internet, you will want to read about sflow/netflow, which reads packet headers. Technically, the ISP can capture all traffic and would have the full ability to read unencrypted data. There is also the ability to do MITM TLS shenanigans, but typically you see that at the enterprise level as end devices need to trust the certificate issued to the proxy. Also note that there is such thing as lawful intercept, which in the US means that law enforcement agencies can also snoop your traffic "with a court order" at any point, often without the ISP being explicitly notified.

typically you only need one power supply to run it, once you move to redundant power you can use the second one in case the first one fails. when you plug both in it will just balance across both until one fails.

in my opinion, hardware should only be hypervisors that run virtual machines, then you can provision VMs, similar to using VPSs. going this route you will need a vga monitor for initial setup, eventually everything is done over the lan with a web ui or ssh.

i use proxmox which is Debian based for the hypervisor.

As far as what you do with it, is that you can in theory replace the VPSs or test software in your lan.

to compare, i have my router (vyos), homeassistant, a docker server for hosting small services, a network lab (gns3), windows and mac VMs, and more running on a cluster that is using similar hardware.

maybe bricklink.com, which used to be a 3rd party site that LEGO bought and now maintains.

I think in this case it may be because this particular post was from NBC news, I imagine the other outlets will focus on themselves as well.

they should just say "government monitoring everyone"

the article does mention situations where police and military would see benefit from magazine disconnect, but obviously if the gun industry wants something, like to not install the disconnect, police and military will do whatever they can to make that happen

to take this a step further, imagine someone who has been exposed to these services designed to be addictive their entire (digital) life, as well as being pushed further into these services by their peers who are equally addicted and the "influencers" they look up to that are paid by these services.

it's interesting because as he adds cabinet picks, they come with allegations, as well as allegations stacking against those already selected. must be a requirement for the job, typically i would think this would make security clearance all but impossible due to the blackmail but maybe that is what he liked about these picks. that or trump just sees those like him and gravitates towards that, since his drug and dementia addled brain can't handle anything else.
