The parents lie or the kids lie?
When I was 12 I didn’t ask my parents for permission to create an account. I just did it and lied about my age.

It also exposes children to war, murder, and other atrocities that someone that young shouldn’t be exposed to and will have serious long term mental health affects.
IMO this video touches on this incredibly well and is well worth it. https://youtu.be/hYWoNlMHd2k
Plus lead acid batteries hate being discharged at all. But deep charge cycles are really awful for them.
That said changing batteries every 18 months is a little excessive. Unless your UPS is overcharging the shit out of them they should last way longer than that.
APC makes some good stuff. It’s just all their consumer stuff is garbage.
If you can get a rack mount unit from a data center those are real nice. Just don’t try to buy them brand new.
why would anyone want spam that just says “don’t know!”
I guess so you know it’s working, just doesn’t know the source, vs not working at all.
Facebook Marketplace is my go to here in the US. Pre built computers don’t hold their value for shit, so you can pick one up with a nice i5 or a medicore i7 office computer for almost nothing. Just look for Dell optiplexs or the HP/Lenovo equivalents. If you don’t need a lot of drive space (or are fine with external storage) those mini PCs litter marketplace and can go for stupid cheap.
I’d target 8th gen or newer, ideally 10th gen, but one that comes with an i7 might cost a bit more than $300. You can always go with an i3 for now, then if you need more power then the non k i7s tank in value after a few years of being out.
Unless you’re hardcore I’d highly suggest not getting an actual server, especially a 1U server like that. Servers are loud, use a lot of power, and especially in 1U form not that expandable. CPU and RAM upgrades are cheap, but say you want more drives, or to install some weird expansion card it might not have the space.
If photoprism is actually “AI” you’ll want a GPU to do the processing, and 1U servers limit you to oddly sized 1U GPUs. But considering they say it will run on a raspberry pi I’d assume any desktop with a core i7 would do the job. If you can find a desktop with 4 ram slots of DDR5 that would get you plenty of expandability. The DDR5 spec is rated for up to 512gb per stick, so assuming the memory controller (and bios) supports it you’d be PLENTY future proof. But even DDR4 with 32gb sticks should be plenty, and those machines are CHEAP.
My home server literally was just my old desktop for the longest time. I upgraded the components in my desktop, and put them into another case and that became my server. Proxmox is based on Debian so any remotely sane hardware should be supported well, then I just virtualize everything else (including the NAS) and hardware compatibility isn’t even a concern.
My current case is a Fracal Define R4 which natively supports 7 hard drives + 3 5.25 slots so I could add hot swap bays there. If I need more storage I have an extra drive cage, and the suggestion from people online is to just zip tie it to the normal one, and that gets me 11 drives of storage. Sure it won’t look pretty, but it works, it’s cheap, and it’s scalable, and that’s all that matters.
Which cards are you using? Just because it’s samsung doesn’t mean it’s good.
My dashcam uses mostly this “SanDisk 256GB High Endurance Video” SD card, and my backup is a 512gb Samsung Pro Plus (not rated for dashcam use). For anything that I want reliability I use one of these SanDisk cards, that Samsung, or a SanDisk extreme that I bought the other day. My “I don’t really care about this, but I’d like it to not fail” cards are Samsung Evo Select drives (or something green and Samsung). Only my “I really don’t give a shit about these” drives are those $3 Microcenter cards.
Why not just buy a good SD card? My dashcam has been recording ~16/5 for the past 3 years onto a Sandisk extreme dashcam SD card and it’s still going strong with no issues. If it can survive the extreme heat and cold of being in a car I’m sure it will survive in a Pi just fine.
All of my SD cards that have failed have been bargain brand cards. None of my high quality ones have failed on me, I lose them before they go bad.

Those PP link routers are both eashmesh compatible so they should provide a good experience. Yes running an ethernet cable across your house will get you better performance, but do you know just how expensive/hard that is? My friend was quoted 2.5k to run like 4 ethernet drops in his house through his attic. Trying to do it ourselves also seems like a nightmare so I’m not really sure if I’m going to have to suffer through that.
Wifi 5 vs 6, 6E and 7 are worlds different. A LOT has changed in that time.
It was either 6 or 7 that was designed with mesh/extenders in mind, and it actually works really well if you have good hardware.
Also even in the wifi 5 days they made mesh/extenders explicitly with duplex issues in mind. Just about every high end wifi 5 system had at least dual band wifi, with most having 3.
And they should be. Toyota spent so long fighting against EVs instead of embracing them that they could become irrelevant in less than 20 years.
China is heavily subsidizing their EV production. US and Japanese car makers are sitting on their hands and bitching to their government to keep the Chinese vehicles out.
CNN heavily censors what they show online. They don’t show an actual beheading, they’ll show a few minutes before it happens with faces blurred, but thats about it. But did you never really randomly get sent some fucked up videos? No 2 girls 1 cup, 1 guy 1 jar, meatspin etc? Kids don’t want to see it, but they’ll accidentally see it.
Honestly what I hate the most about the video is that 3rd places only briefly get a mention. But at the same time it makes sense since the video is about advertising to tweens and not just overall their mental wellbeing. It just happens to touch on the topic pretty well.
