I've been getting into making and breaking these antibots recently and it's funny to me how the person who wrote this post gave so much attention to what LinkedIn was doing and left the other antibots on the page as a footnote. They grab way more, they just don't let you see it. I haven't reversed PX or Recap yet but the antibot on twitch and Nike similarly checks if you have any of these 53 apps installed (when loaded on a WebKit browser) https://pastebin.com/raw/KACvjpTK
I had to abandon it because of the memory leak, it would fill up all my memory in a matter of minutes. The devs don't seem to pay it much attention: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/5363
As one of said generation, I would chalk it up to instant communication creating innumerable shallow remote relationships that significantly replace time spent with others in person.
For streaming, any mini-PC (e.g. N100 or a used thin client) paired with an airmouse remote (I use a Pepperjobs remote). If you want to use Steam on that machine and play modern games however, then you basically need a gaming PC and an Xbox controller.
Hoarding/archiving/collecting is quite fun. I don't think it's a stretch to say he likely read more then the average person, and from his own collection too!
