The criticality of the alerts should be classified, and presented with the alert. Users should have the ability to filter non-critical messages on certain platforms.
Unfortunately, some systems either don't track criticality, or some of the alerts are tagged with the wrong level.
(One example of the latter is the Ruckus WAP, which has a warning message tagged at the highest level of criticality, so about two or three times a month, I see the critical alert: "wmi_unified_mgmt_rx_event_handler-1864 : MGMT frame, ia_action 0x0 ia_catageory 0x3 status 0x0", which should be just an informational level alert, with nothing to be done about it. I've reported this bug to Ruckus a few times over the past five years, but they don't seem to care.)
1000Base-T uses four pairs in both directions at the same time. It does this through the use of a hybrid in the PHY that subtracts what is being transmitted from what is received on the wires. 802.3ab is a fairly complicated specification with many layers of abstraction. I spent a few months studying it for a project about a decade ago.
My latest house, built about eight years ago, came with CAT6A cabling for all of the phones. That made it really easy to just replace all of the RJ11 jacks with RJ45 (or 8P8C if you like to call them that). They've been providing POE+ gigabit Ethernet for the past seven years, and I'm about to upgrade them to 10GBase-T.
I envy you. Must be nice to open up a wall jack and be pleasantly surprised instead of bitterly disappointed :-).
I recently built a vacation property and could choose what to install. Initially, I was thinking CAT6A but after getting some good quality plenum-rated 6A to play with, I discovered it's surprisingly thick and doesn't bend very easily (minimum corner radii to avoid shield damage are actually specced) and it's not exactly easy to DIY new connectors on them correctly if you don't do it all the time.
So, after really considering the max throughput I'm ever likely to actually use, I decided to go with some good CAT6. It wasn't even a cost thing, as the difference was negligible. It was just practical reality. None of the runs are very long and I should be able to get up to 10gbps on 6A, although I doubt I'll ever use more than 2.5gbps (only using 1gbps today). One factor is the property is off-grid except for AC, so data is via StarLink anyway and fiber won't ever happen out there. While LEO satellite and terrestrial cellular speeds will increase in coming years, when more than 2.5gpbs is available - it'll almost certainly be priced to maximize B2B profit and we probably wouldn't pay that for a vacation house (because this is the US, not someplace that prices broadband rationally like Korea).
It's already established that your disk encryption keys are in the Microsoft cloud whether you want them there or not. It's just a small step from there to your local government having the key too. Some governments claim to respect the privacy of their citizens, but there are always exceptions. Most governments likely have direct access to the keys, and don't even need to make the request.
Funny, I did almost the opposite. I had an active Twitter account for years, but I decided to stop using it when Twitter banned the sitting president of the United States (shortly before he left office). I went back to it after Elon bought it.
Promoting violence. The sitting president of the US was in the middle of staging a coup at the time, and refused to call for his supporters' violence to stop, but rather encouraged it.
Very few. It's not a social media app, news site, forum or anything that would benefit from scraping or posting. There's no public "feed" or anything like that. It's a tool.
