Mailbox.org is another candidate worth looking into.

Yes, but most people don’t even have one of those 3, let alone all 3.

Or another TV of the same manufacturer that has Internet access.

Also sick of hearing about it. Not because I want to play it, but because I don’t care about it, at all.
Congratulations, you added to that kind of noise. For no reason, too.

Similar to NetGuard there is Tracker Control. It also uses the VPN “slot” but it can additionally run a wireguard tunnel itself now. So you can combine access control, adblocking on DNS level and actual vpn.

No they aren’t slowed down for “human factors” or safety. They are in cages or behind barricades (at least in Europe). If you open them (like a door or cross a laser barrier), the whole line or at least the cell cell just stops and all of the red lights come on. You can believe what you want, but you can’t speed anything up significantly without massive investment or work. Or they would be running faster, cause money.

I understand what you’re trying to say, and even agree with it, but the car factory example is just wrong. Those have a design speed that is generally limited by cycle times for individual steps. Like a robot has to place say 10 spot welds. You can’t speed that up. To stick with this example: in theory you could add a robot so both place 5 spots, but that rework takes probably a year and costs millions. Plus you don’t have one bottleneck like this, but a lot of them with similar speed (hence the “design speed” of the whole factory).
You can slow the whole factory down to run under capacity (or not run it during night shift), and then you have room to speed it up. But if you’re running at capacity, there is very little you can do.
It’s physically impossible to speed up the factory to 1.5x, let alone 10x.
This is such a weird stance given the actual change that was made. No actual age verification, no external communication of any kind. All that got added is a number field. The ability to store a number labeled “age” for user accounts. That’s it.
There already is a field for first name and last name. You can leave them blank as well (most probably do). If any software requires a number to be there, just enter 99 or whatever. Unless this gets severely worse this is such a nothing-burger.
I’m not happy about any step into that direction either, but pick your battles (or hill I guess). This certainly is a weird one.
