Eventually at least. Ram loses its contents slowly, and temperature influences the rate it happens at, hence cold boot attacks where you can super-chill ram with some compressed air, move it out of a secured machine and into one you control, and extract in memory secrets.
The problem for me was that it was yet another platform. I already have many games I'd like to keep playing, I don't want to buy another copy that can only be used on stadia. I don't want to buy anything on stadia and then only be able to stream it while I still have a gaming pc.
I say that just to point out that your confidence is probably not false, and neither is everyone elses lack of confidence in touching crypto.
Generally speaking "sound isolation" means reducing where sound can escape from the case, and putting some noise absorbing foam where you can to dampen the noise.
The counterproductive part is that having a lot of airflow would be the opposite of "sound isolating" -- anywhere air flows freely sound does as well. So by definition a sound isolating case has poor airflow. Poor airflow could require you to run your fans at higher RPMs to compensate, which is then introducing more noise than you would have had with a more open case that could run low RPM fans.
Gamers Nexus did a good piece on this https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3391-airflow-vs-silent-ca...
(as he points out, there are still reasons to prefer sound isolating cases, it's just not as much of a clear win as it might sound at first)
Looking at the kernel itself you see a hierarchy where people are only responsible for small segments of the kernel.
Looking at a standard distro like Debian, which makes this easily available at https://www.debian.org/devel/people you'll see that most individuals are only responsible for a handfull of packages, with the bulk having a team responsible for them.
If you were attacking a local webapp interface instead of a non-http daemon like redis, you would need your browser to be able to access the web service. At that point, this kind of attack would still allow an attacker to also access that web service.
The DNS rebinding is a workaround so that you can read the reply of a message.
Enumerating a list of services that are running is something you could do as a precursor to using the dns rebinding attack to attack it. I am not familiar with javascript networking enough to say what kind of rate limiting you would incur, but in theory at least you should be able to probe many IPs at once.
Maybe even a push update you can subscribe to.
For the record, I was a netflix subscriber and canceled a long time ago because of inaccessibility of their instant video service--If it won't run on xbmc, I'm better off getting it somewhere else like amazon Prime. I even told them as much. I still appreciate them releasing all of this stuff though.
