I don't know where you are and if you can buy Yeelight. I think they have exactly what you need. https://page.yeelight.com/skylight.html I'd say roughly 400 usd.

“Weakness and ignorance are not barriers to survival, but arrogance is.” You think China can't manufacture good quality mask, a simple mask? You people really are that arrogant?

Just fire up a VPS instance and set up a VPN on it. It's much cheaper, you get more control over it and it's dedicated to you so less crowded traffic. e.g. Vultr instance is just $3.5 a month and they're pay by the hour. There's many one-key VPN script. So set up is easy too.

Another thing to mention, for elder generations like my father, even if you can use Chinese character as URL, they don't know how to input it, because there's IME needed, nothing like native Americans learn how to input ASCII. Obviously, ASCII are printed on most keyboards.

Audio CD is an old technology. It doesn't have advanced error correction method. With poor quality CD-R, it's true that the quality is not the same.
Re:Google will start warning Chinese users about problematic search terms

I think this is quite a brilliant move for Google. I know a lot of Chinese people considering Google inferior, because "I often don't get anything when I use Google. It must be a company of inferior technology." Actually, they have just encountered the GFW's reset, and for common people it's natural to blame the site. Now with this move, these people will gradually know that it's GFW's censorship.

I don't think so. Even desktop OSes are not ready for such vast differences of today's hardwares.
Desktop-PC usually have approximately 100dpi screens, so the OS and the app generally don't consider dpi differences. So, if you've ever got a high dpi screen for Windows, you'll see the icons are frigging small.
Whereas, on mobile platform, we have screens ranging from 80dpi to above 300dpi. Android take dpi differences into account in the first place, to make sure, a same icon have almost same size on different dpi screens. It's a start.
I much doubted Microsoft or Apple would deal better with 'retina' desktop-pc coming in. Real trouble have just begun...
