I’m fairly sure that the price information shown on a Google Search result page is advertising that comes from a different source than the results do.
As far as I know, you could write a plugin for SearXNG to query suppliers and format the output as required.
I think that Google Shopping might be queried in the same way, but I’ve never looked into it deeply.
You don’t need anything as elaborate as you appear to be contemplating.
Insert a large capacity microSD card into your mobile phone and load it up with media.
Share as required.
Perhaps you can use the same logic to go after gun manufacturers…
Gotta love the use of quotes here:
it should be treated with “utmost importance.”
In other words, ignore this message from our lawyers.
I’d set-up a static website on an AWS S3 bucket. Then you can use AWS Cloudfront to distribute access around the planet.
Cost is mostly negligible unless you are serving big files.
Last time I looked at this, the answer was Calibre.
If you can afford the hardware, stop being a schmuck and pay for the software.
Also, the word you’re looking for is: “headless”, as in, “headless install”
The traditional way is to use a serial console from another device.
You used to be able to run Apple Music on Android. I used it for a while. Not sure if it still exists.
DRM is one potential reason, but not the only one.
Content is licensed under specific conditions, resolution, audio tracks, closed captions, etc. Two organisations might have licensed the same title, but not the same conditions.
You can see this clearly during the Olympics where some channels only have secondary rights, or only certain events, but only free to air, not online, etc.
Added to that are marketing and exclusively deals and in the end it’s anyone’s guess what you actually end up with.
I don’t know, but I doubt that the frequency response of a mobile phone microphone is either linear or consistent across sound level.
I don’t even think you could compare two sounds with different frequencies, but I don’t know.
I suspect that calibration of any such thing would require a whole lot of infrastructure, consider for example the angle of the phone in relation to sound and the impact of holding the phone in how it affects vibration and noise damping.
You might be able to use a calibrated sound level meter and pair it via Bluetooth with your phone, but I think that’s going to be as close as you might get.
In the past I’ve tried a wired USB microphone, but the OS isn’t real-time, so the jitter was horrendous. A pi would give you a more consistent result.
Note that there is no calibration of audio hardware, so the level of usefulness of any such software would be strictly limited.
In Australia an ISP went to extreme lengths to have a ruling, spending four years in litigation:

If you think that will protect you, there is a lot for you to learn…
I just pirate media I like
In other words, your computer is downloading stuff from other computers, that’s potentially receiving stolen property, but a potential argument might be that you didn’t know that it was stolen. It’s not a good argument, but it’s an argument. So you’re an individual who potentially broke the law. Depending on how much money you have, you might get a knock on your door.
But then, you also distribute that potentially stolen property to other computers, because that’s how BitTorrent works, and now you’re part of a distribution network dealing with stolen property. The chances that once you’ve discovered you come away with just a slap on the wrist are slim to none.
How do they find you?
Through your IP address.
How?
By figuring out who owns that address, who loaned it to you to get online at that specific time. One packet at a time the research will bring them closer to knocking on your door.
So, is it a big deal that your public IP address is linked to torrenting? Yes it is.
Is this the whole story? Not by a long shot, but it’s not my job to teach you how to break the law.
It turns out that some clients don’t show my name together with my account. My name is Onno.
Thank you, that’s not something I knew, the three clients I’ve used show both the account and the name.
Edit: This is weird, my current client (Connect) shows the name, but only for my account, not for any other account.
Black Friday is a marketing exercise to get you all riled up about the massive savings you will receive if you buy something RIGHT NOW.
Suffice to say that the actual bargains on the day are far and few between.
If you actively track pricing you’ll discover that the price goes up before the event, then drops to the same or slightly lower pricing on the day. The “bargain” is notional at best.
Then there are the “pre Black Friday” sales, and the “Cyber Monday” ones afterwards. It’s all just marketing.
If you want an actual bargain, find what you’re looking for, set a price watch on it and track it for as long as you have patience. When you’re ready, buy it from your preferred supplier and get them to price match the amazing price.
As far as refurbished goes, ask yourself what is the upside for the supplier to give away any bit of return on their spend to refurbish the item in the first place?
