In theory this is useful, but the devil is in how this is determined; an algorithm will be gamed, and I doubt Google is putting humans into curating the quality or reliability of sources. And of course, everything Google does with search li

Not really. It does put a lot of rules around when something might become a tainted environment, so I would imagine it could be too easy to end up with your home network accidentally becoming part of the PCI scope if you weren't carefu

Audio over IP - you see it being used with (for example) theatre setups between a processor and powered speakers that take it as an input. You can (if you are sufficiently well-heeled) use it for home theatre with e.g. a JBL Synthesis 55 an
