Though odds are highest for carbon-based, simple from it's abundance.
Thanks for this - a reasoned, easy-to-grasp explanation of missions, without a lot of technical jargon.
It's this kind of writing that's needed (from any technical field) for those not in that field to understand it. I'm in IT, and work diligently to provide this kind of explanation to decision-makers. It's not easy, when in your head you see all the "but this" at the technical level. We have to sacrifice high-resolution detail to provide a "good enough" image for people to comprehend. Sometimes that means being "technically inaccurate" - which then gets unnecessarily criticised.
I wish magazines like Scientific American (which has seriously gone down hill) wrote like this more.
God I hate compressed file support in explorer.
I even disable zip support. Let me use my own app for that.

How many languages do you speak perfectly?
OP's English is pretty damn good.
I think he's talking about with ARM-based systems things tend to be more monolithic.
I don't know that this is true, I haven't read enough about them.
So you have nothing to hide, eh?

These tvs, like smartphones, track lots of stuff. And the databases they feed make all sorts of inferences.
They even scan what you're watching from other sources and can determine what show it is, and report that info too.
They know when you're home and leave, to some extent.
I've read of patents for wifi tech in tvs that will connect to other TVs of the same brand for a connection if you don't set one up.
They definitely use their own DNS, and probably have some hard coded IPs so you can't block them phoning home via DNS (I've tested this myself). I can see this traffic even when I setup DNS blocks - they still hit the vendor's service IPs (looking at you, Samsung).
These companies are openly antagonistic and adversarial to us, and you "have nothing to hide"?
