One of those tiny low power PCs with OpenSense is a good alternative, but a bit more work. The only downside is that you need a separate switch and wifi access point.

Losing the internet archive would be such a huge loss... I really hope they have a backup plan in case things go bad legally.
Jails are dehumanizing and horrible places. I would rather starve than live in jail.
Not to mention how having a criminal record pretty much destroys any hope of ever getting out of homelessness. Nobody will hire you, nobody will rent to you.
The intensity of the red light should be proportional to the level of evil. You could literally put solar panels in those meetings.
He's quite old and not very healthy. I'm pretty sure he will have to leave one way or another.
I would absolutely love a linux smartphone that didn't suck.
I am the opposite, I thrive when I work from home. But it's important for me to have a dedicated space for it, not in my bedroom, and free from distractions like wife, kids, pets, and neighbors with drills.
My home setup is 10x better than at the office... I have a great desk with lots of space, big awesome monitors, awesome keyboard and mouse with kvms to make switching to my personal PC easier. My coffee is better than any work coffee machine I ever used. My internet is much faster and more reliable.
I shit you not, at the last company I worked they proxied all web traffic through another country thousands of km away. As expected, it worked like shit and was failing constantly. And you couldn't even access repos like maven central, because they used a proxy autoconfig file with hundreds of rules, which is not supported by any software except browsers.
And there's also the benefits of having a private office, away from noisy coworkers and prying eyes.
Hiren's Boot Cd has a handy tool that can fix that bsod. I've used it many times.
Not to mention what a bitch that partition is when you need to shrink or increase the size of your windows partition. If you need to upgrade your storage, or resize to partition to make room for other operating systems, you have to follow like 20 steps of voodoo magic commands to do it.
In the Firefox appdata, there are session backup files. You can restore tabs by just renaming a few files. Don't ask me how I know.

Having worked on a product that actually did this, it's not as easy as it seems. There are many ways of drawing text on the screen.
GDI is the most common, which is part of the windows API. But some applications do their own rendering (including browsers).
Another difficulty, even if you could tap into every draw call, you would also need a way to determine what is visible on the screen and what is covered by something else.
