But I dislike that it requires even going that info

I never understood this stance... do people really think a corporation is going to risk their entire company over your anonymity when their country's government does not allow this? Nobody is going to jail for you.

Plus, if everyone could easily sign up anonymously, then like they said, it would be overrun with bots and the reputation of their IPs would quickly deteriorate to where most other email providers would just block them, making the service almost worthless.

By satellite do you mean like a dish physically plugged in with a cable? I wasn't aware of any "app" used for that on any TV... I just switch the input with the remote to like HDMI/component/RF/etc. and the normal android tv interface goes away completely.

What "TV app" is this exactly? I've never seen or heard of that before, and none of my google/android TVs or dongles have anything like that.

Also what make and model TV is this?

By "default app" I assume you mean the launcher. Just google for "android tv launcher".

If by "plain satellite TV" mean using one of the input sources on the TV (like HDMI, component, RF etc.)... this is unrelated to the launcher and would still work regardless of which one you used.

Sure, but I think chances are high that "your own" will be much slower than the others.

I feel like RISC-V has already been ruined by vendor-specific proprietary extensions.

Very well-written and informed response, thank you.

How would you know?

You probably wouldn't have heard about it simply because it's illegal to publicize a secret subpoena/warrant. Such orders are given as National Security Letters with a permanent gag order, going so far as to preventing the recipient from even seeking counsel; it's a massive abuse of power and due process in the US to get companies to lie and do whatever they want.

I don't consider those to be useful anymore because a court can compel them to keep the canary up in secret, and I'm pretty sure that's already happened more than once before.

To be fair, nobody of any political stance did anything about it whatsoever.

I stick to C++98 (or 03) rules because it is so much simpler, and compiles faster. I don't have to remember countless new rules for things like initialization or constexpr/consteval. If C had classes with RAII I would just use that.
