Does it occurs to someone that in this time of encryption backdoor and such, this is also a good starting point to another mass surveillance system ? Mandate US manufacturers to embed remote access for the use of the government, then as you've made those routers the only ones authorized on the us soil (let's not be foolish about that approval process, it will be a smoke screen) you basically have a backdoor to every citizen home.

Yes china routers are a liability, but free trade and open market ensure at least one thing that's essential : no single state has surveillance capability on its entire population

Kagi Snaps 2 years ago

Will this allow kagi to be used on the forced search widget at the bottom of the screen of pixel phones ?

Because the blog mention that Google will be forced to propose kagi in the default search engine list given 5k installs, but even with it installed I cannot set kagi as my search engine on that widget.

On the contrary if I install duckduckgo or bing, I can choose one of them to replace Google in that widget.

EDIT: android itself talks about the 5k limit for the "choice screen" during initial setup [0], but there is no mention of how the list is populated afterwards

That's why since yesterday on my French AZERTY typing a ` results in "`. Thanks a lot slack! Another reason that proves and allows me to keep saying that Slack is just a bad copy of IRC that's able to display useless gifs and consumes 1 to 2GB of ram for nothing :]

I'm myself a self taught electronic hobbyist who followed the same path you did I guess (eevblog and such). I'm nowhere that good at the moment and you sir are an inspiration to what can be achieved with dedication !

Thank you for making such a project and for putting it online for the world to see. Your friends were right ;)

If you haven't already you should definitely add your project to hackaday.io (the community driven part of hackaday).
