Intrepid developers have done the expected and necessary: Doom now runs on Nintendo’s recently released Game & Watch portable. All hardware platforms expand until it can run DOOM (or it is replaced by hardware that can)

Sidewalk is essentially a proprietary shared network that runs on top of your personal network. People who liked this offer also enjoyed throwing their money at random strangers
"These Bridge devices share a small portion of your internet bandwidth which is pooled together to provide these services to you and your neighbors." I know that "sharing is caring", but some things I don't feel like sharing, sorry. I'm also curious how long it will take for someone to crack the sandbox this will supposedly create.

Not enough, that's for sure...
The real questions are: Once it is hacked, how long will it take to be discovered, how much data will have been sniffed and how critical was it?.

Amazon is planning for the future when the government will lock you out of your Internet connection. Being part of a mesh network, you'll still be able to communicate electronically with others, and maybe even access the Internet through someone else's not yet shut down access. Nice to see a big brother company implementing some "small brother" technologies.
