Not with that attitude.

ISPs like to offer, say $65 for service (without committing to a specific speed... Their 100/100 service is "up to 100Mbps" and not a guarantee.)
They then want to charge a modem rental fee - another $5/mo. They want to charge a wifi access point rental fee - another $5/mo. They want to charge various regulatory fees, universal access fees, taxes, etc. They want their advertisements to say "$65/mo", but they want to collect more like $90/mo.
You can buy your own modem and save that $5/mo (but they often push back against that, claiming your modem isn't compatible, or that other customers have complained about inferior service with that modem). You can use your own wifi AP and save that $5/mo (but again, they discourage it...) You can't get away from the regulatory fees.
If thr only thing electronics are 100% efficient
Heat pumps are much more than 100% electrically efficient. They are around 300% electrically efficient.
Watt for watt, a heat pump sinks a lot more heat into your house than either a resistive heating element or a raspberry pi.
if you’re actually using the waste heat from a PC does that mean its basically 100% energy efficient?
Yes, but there is a big caveat: Heat pumps are much greater than 100% electrically efficient.
No, that doesn't violate thermodynamics. We don't count any of the thermal energy input into the "source" side of the heat pump, but it ends up on the "sink" side anyway. We are only comparing electrical input to thermal output, and the thermal output is much greater than the electrical input: Heat pumps are much more electrically efficient at heating your home than any form of resistive heating, including the waste heat from your PC.
A mining rig might be able to exceed the economic efficiency of a heatpump, but we would need much more data to attempt that calculation.
That's only true if we're comparing GPU mining to resistive heating. Both are equally efficient at converting electrical energy to heat: 100%.
The numbers don't look nearly as good when we compare GPU mining to a heat pump. Heat pumps utilize an additional, uncounted source of free energy (outdoor heat). Since we aren't counting that additional energy, the electrical efficiency of the heat pump is much greater than 100%.
They don't need the cooperation of telecom providers. They receive the same signal you send to the cell tower. Even if the signal is encrypted so they can't see what you are sending, they can identify that you are sending.
With enough receivers listening, they can identify your location to a pretty high accuracy.
Privacy policies are irrelevant here. They are picking up unique data as your phone communicates with a cell tower. You can do it with a $15 RTL-SDR receiver.
Get a hundred receivers and you can pinpoint anybody in a city.
White House demands firing if deliberate
Ok. You're fired. Pack your shit, hand the nuclear keys to Corporal Couchfucker, and GTFO.
Indeed.
Unfortunately, no matter how well you tune your carburetor, just a change in atmospheric temperature is enough to throw off your mixture.
The only feasible way to adjust it fast enough to keep up with atmospheric changes is with some kind of fuel injection, an ECM, and an O2 sensor to provide the feedback needed for closed-loop mixture control.

Lean burning increases mileage, but produces nitrous oxides.
Rich burning produces carbon monoxide, which eventually converts to CO2 in the atmosphere.
Unit for unit, NOx emissions are 265 times as damaging as CO/CO2.

To successfully convert NOx, catalytic converters need a stoichiometric or slightly rich fuel/air mixture to the engine.
Yes. The relevant metric:
