Consent-O-Matic is a massive timesaver and works great on mobile. Not sure if you can install it directly these days, I use my own collection.
btop has GPU stats in recent versions.
Good on you for getting it fixed. One of the reasons Linux is a great OS in my opinion is that everything is in the file system and not in some arcane hidden thing. So every problem is solvable without a reinstall if you're motivated enough to figure it out.
Not sure what you have against minimum wage, it works well in other countries (I'm from the Netherlands). Obviously it doesn't solve everything by itself, but it's definitely a valuable part of a range of measures to treat people fairly. It's a fantasy that everyone can be educated to a level above minimum wage.
Firefox has been able to block all third-party / cross-site cookies for ages. It's just not the default because it breaks some sites. But dive into the settings and you can easily set it to block all cross-site cookies, or even all cookies if you prefer.
Most of the delays are effectively from pre-ordering. I ordered mine just after last Christmas, got it the first week in January. Would have probably been faster without the holidays. Also, get the AMD model if you can, it's much better than the Intel offerings.
Kernel panics are pretty rare though, I've had a lot more bluescreens than kernel panics in my life. If you want to criticise Linux for being complicated go right ahead but implying that it's unstable is a really weird take IMHO.
I've had it for a couple of months now. Sure, it sucks, and I can't work currently, but I'd much rather have this than die though. This will pass (almost everyone gets better in a couple of years max), death is rather final. Also, don't kid yourself about the people that had COVID but don't experience long covid. Many of them have permanent changes to their body too, they just don't know it.
That's not true, "regular" Li-ion batteries have become tremendously cheaper and have increased their capacity by a lot in the past decade. The next jump in their capacity is about 50% more again, and it's already being previewed by the big battery manufacturers. They're not going to be cheap though.
Oh I agree with your post, but I was responding to Valmond who used different criteria.
You can have all three of those, but you won't get great performance. The Samsung QVO SATA drives are a great example. I wouldn't use those for an OS drive but they're fantastic for NAS or media use.
