I have years of experience using the Qt framework on desktop, mobile, and embedded linux platforms, and have in-depth knowledge of low level platform-specific rendering and video handling APIs (OpenGL, Linux v4l2/dmabuf, GL texture/buffer sharing).
I've also designed my own FPGA IP cores for parts from most of the major manufacturers, including Xilinx, Intel/Altera, and Lattice, experience which gives me a much better understanding of how the hardware we run our software on actually works in practice.
Currently I am working on an animal safety monitoring system (embedded Linux, Qt, C++, Rust) that detects and reports hazardous conditions/events that could be life threatening (such as a baby tortoise flipping over under a heat lamp), using a combination of habitat sensors, thermal imaging, and computer vision.

> What does the DRM prevent, specifically? Any use of the camera ribbon cable interface by any non-licensed camera?
> Apparently, yes. This comment[0](2019) explains it slightly more. Evidently the ribbon cable ("CSI interface") can be used by pretty much anything...as long as that thing is not a camera / doesn't need the usual on-board image processing.
This isn't accurate, the only thing they do is limit specific sensors from being used unless there is a matching authentication chip on the module, because those specific sensors are the ones they have manufactured camera modules with.
So for example the Pi Camera v2 module uses an imx219 sensor from sony and an authentication chip that the Pi firmware can check to verify the module was actually made by the Raspberry Pi company.
If you buy a 3rd party imx219 camera module (which would not have that authentication chip), it will not work on the regular Pi boards (but it will work with the Pi compute module boards because they don't do the authentication chip verification).
There have been plenty of 3rd party camera modules with entirely different sensors that work on the Pi for years, though with quirks related to the closed source drivers, but the modern libcamera stack on the Pi is explicitly designed to enable 3rd party camera modules.
I am an experienced engineer with a career spanning over a decade, working on a wide variety of commercial and open source projects in different industries.
In the past few years I have worked on real-time drone control and low latency video streaming, embedded linux OS deployment and maintenance, cross-platform mobile and desktop development, and I designed and implemented an encrypted cloud storage system for a company in Europe using the Rust language.
For several years I was the lead developer and maintainer of the OpenHD project[1] where I reorganized and modernized the development and release process, and created a cross platform touchscreen drone controller called QOpenHD[2].
I have real world experience with embedded Linux, Mac, and Windows systems programming (primarily C, C++, and Rust), iOS/iPhone and macOS development (Obj-C, Obj-C++, Swift, Rust FFI), and Windows desktop development (C# .NET/WPF, Rust FFI).
I have also used the Qt framework for several years and have in-depth knowledge of lower level platform-specific rendering and video handling APIs (OpenGL, Linux v4l2/dmabuf, GL texture/buffer sharing).
For personal projects I have designed my own FPGA IP cores, experience which gives me a much better understanding of how the hardware we run our software on actually works in practice.
Currently I am working on an animal safety monitoring system (embedded linux, Qt framework, C++ and Rust languages) designed to detect hazardous conditions and events that could be life threatening for a particular species (such as a baby tortoise flipping over directly under a heat lamp), using a combination of habitat sensors, thermal imaging, and computer vision. It integrates with common commercial streaming and notification systems such as the YouTube Live streaming platform, Twilio SMS notifications, and Apple HomeKit.

Even if that were to happen, it wouldn't be the first time the open source community had to find a name for something to differentiate it from previous efforts.
Choices like libname2, libname3, libname-ng and plenty of others have been used by projects before.
If anything the poor state of search on the internet is a problem.
> But it is very difficult to convert to a recognized currency, so a lot of folks also get unknowingly stuck with it thinking they have dollars.
When Voyager entered bankruptcy, quite a few people suddenly discovered that the USDC they held on the platform was not the same as USD, did not enjoy the same legal protections USD would have, and that much of it had been loaned out to 3 arrows capital and was not coming back.
The distinction became even more significant when the bankruptcy judge agreed that the bank accounts that were holding actual USD customer deposits were not part of the bankruptcy estate and had to be released back to those customers.
> So if I for instance withdraw 100 million from an exchange, in a completely legal manner, and then visit a store or webshop to buy something with the same funds, then the store now knows that I have 100 million dollars?
The more common this example of legitimate use becomes, the less useful it is, defeating the purpose.
If it becomes common for crypto known to have come from Tornado to be there because the person is concealing ownership of a large amount of crypto, the store can infer the same thing the previously could see on-chain: this person probably has a large amount of crypto. And then all the same risks apply, albeit with a minor unknown as to the amount.
But since we're basically talking about a "rubber hose" attack here it doesn't really matter if they can directly see it on-chain, they're still going to assume it and likely do the same thing.
> When I search for technical information 2 out of 3 times I get a website that I must pay to view content.
I usually get thousands and thousands of cloned websites that were likely set up in bulk using a template. They copy-paste just enough text to produce a search engine hit, while the real website it came from may not even be in the search results no matter how many pages of results I click through.
And then there are the elaborate clones of Github content, Stack Overflow, and various other technical help websites, all designed to make it look like all of those discussions are happening on the clone rather than the original. Some of them include a link back to the original, some don't. I get why some of those websites are ok with their content being openly reused (not that spammers care anyway), but in practice it destroys discoverability of their own service and wastes people's time.
Pinterest has spread through Google Images like a virus, they're plastered all over the results for searches that clearly aren't from boards made by real Pinterest users. I doubt it's a 3rd party spamming Pinterest because the only entity who actually benefits from it in practice is Pinterest itself. They've changed their onboarding pattern a lot over the years, but at one point it was virtually impossible to click through to the original website at all before the account creation popup blocked everything else.
Putting Pinterest at the top of image search results is effectively nothing more than a funnel to onboard more users for Pinterest, they rarely, if ever, have any relevance. I can't imagine why Google hasn't knocked them out of the results entirely at this point.
Whatever they're doing to combat actively hostile spam websites is either failing or they simply don't care anymore. The end result could not be more obvious.
> let the recipient know all of the history of where this money came from
Using a blockchain that's designed to work this way, and then claiming to need tools capable of laundering money in order to avoid that outcome, doesn't strike me as a particularly good argument in favor of either of those things.
