Early Pistol Red Dot Sight (1970s-80s)

Reply in thread

Modern micro red dots are mounted to the slide. And are designed to withstand the g forces from the slide cycling. They will hold zero for thousands of rounds.

The sight pictured here certainly would not be able to do that. But that's what 40+ years of development in optics and materials will do.

TV's are becoming intrusive and abusive; what to do about it?

It's less convenient, but you can just not connect the TV to the Internet at all. You can connect a computer (pi or something similar) to that in order to play videos or stream from. Or an Xbox / PlayStation for ease of use (yes I know those have privacy problems as well but they are much less intrusive).

Another thing you can do is set up a pi-hole on your network and blacklist all the domains your tv uses for ads and tracking.
