You don't even need a hacked camera to edit the metadata, you just need exiftool.

Just buy a small, industrial CT scanner and scan your device. Compare the results to a device that you know hasn't been tampered with.
Firefox plus uBlock Origin is what you can do about it. I hardly ever see any ads. SponsorBlock is great if you watch youtube too.
SLC drives have around 100,000 write cycles. Most consumer SSDs are QLC now and those have less than 1,000 write cycles. They also tend to write slower than a mechanical hard drive when the write cache gets full. Some of those drives can be modified to run in pseudo SLC mode. That trades capacity for speed and write endurance.
You can get rid of the certificate errors by adding your CA to Firefox. Just make sure you keep the private key secure.
Set browser.fixup.fallback-to-https
to false
to stop Firefox from trying https if http doesn't work.
You don't need root access to steal all of the data that your user account has access to.
AI image upscaleing isn't something I would associate with being energy efficient or fast. I wonder how that's supposed to work?
That sounds like a good way to get their employees shot.
If you want rechargeable batteries, just put some eneloop batteries (or some of the cheaper, rebranded ones) in the remote. They are not like the old NiMH batteries, they hold a charge for a years.
I certainly don't want a remote that I have to throw out in a few years because the non-replaceable lithium battery wore out.
If you are just self hosting for your own use, just stick with letsencrypt or self signed certificates.
The paid certificates are for businesses where the users need to trust the certificate. They usually come with warranties and identity verification, which is important if you are accepting payments through your website, but it's just a waste of money for personal use.
The music can be copied to new hard drives without any loss in quality, so why are they leaving their only copy on 30 year old hard drives?
Cameras don't cryptographically sign the images they take. Even if that was added, there are billions of cameras in use that don't support signing the images. Also, any sort of editing, resizing, or reencoding would make that signature invalid. Almost no one is going to post pictures to the web without any sort of editing. Embedding 10+ MB images in a web page is not practical.
