In this context "empowerment" might make more sense than "decentralization" or "democratization"

What is the most advanced and performant processor which may be reasonably manufactured in a home garage?

Which is to say WhatsApp is perfectly secure as long as the hostile actor cannot access the WhatsApp backups. Only nation state actors might be able to do that.

Since it's release in the year 2008, rsync 3.0.0, the recursive algorithm used is now an incremental scan that uses much less memory than before and begins the transfer after the scanning of the first few directories have been completed.

Those first two are claims not facts.

Untrue, a cell modem can attempt an initialization sequence and you would never know about it.

You don't need to leave the antenna unplugged as that could trigger detection or burn up the antenna signal amplifier. You can put a dummy load on the antenna connector instead, nothing whatsoever will be able to detect it, and the radio hardware will never send or receive any signals.

In my experience when I worked for a medical image analysis startup some major vendors such as Philips, Siemens, and GE are developing analysis tools in house as value adds for their existing customer channels and there is no reason for them to open themselves up to competition by increasing interoperability. Hospitals are happy with waiting for your next startup idea to become a feature in their next MRI purchase from the same vendor they have had a relationship with for years.

One way I can think of to disrupt this process is partnering with a new medical device company which is accelerating sales to hospitals. Last time I had this conversation the promising ones were all Chinese, wanted investment solely for development of algorithms under Chinese jurisdiction as part of terms of investment, and carried all the usual IP theft and legal risks you can imagine. Israel has some med tech startups too but they wanted to source talent from within their country and their due diligence seemed to be more of an intelligence gathering operation.

I moved on to working in finance. I don't know what ended up happening to that startup. I left after the paychecks stopped coming.

I registered an account to comment because this made me laugh. One does not simply export images from medical systems. It takes a ton of effort and clicking to get patient images out of most PACS systems IF YOU ARE LUCKY. DICOM images are often high bit-depth JPEG2000 and are hard to get access to because of the way PACS systems and medical devices store data. Screen scraping DICOMs would take ages as each DICOM can have any number of slices. You don't want to lose the original bit-depth either as radiologists use contrast enhancement techniques which don't work with images encoded in 8-bits like screen scrapes. The PACS tech industry is simply painful to deal with.
