By default, Calyx is privacy-preserving, because it doesn't connect automatically to WiFi. You choose to connect to WiFi only if you want to. Yes, I'm very exaggerating the comparison, but still. My point is that the comment I

It doesn't sound like the improvement of cost is enough the justify using it only for few cycles a year as the title says rather than every other day. That said, I see nothing in this article saying why it would be limited to seasonal

First, I have to plead guilty: my own product's CEC still has many "simple" flaws. That being said, I indeed have the feeling that CEC is specifically badly implemented by most people. I feel like the standard is rather under

Article makes fun of how slow i2c is compared to the super high speed pairs next to it on HDMI plug. Well, please note that there is a bus that is literally a thousand time slower than i2c on that same connector. It's CEC. Contrary to

Their latest developments are about making GrapheneOS more usable, not more secure. Like they are working on a camera app, and our integrating Google apps. (Don't mistake me, I totally respect them for what they are doing)
