Solar panels on your roof won't do much good if you're off grid and need to charge your phone. Just get a small, folding solar panel that you can carry in your backpack. A 10W panel will only need a couple hours of direct sunlight to fully charge a phone.

Firefox plus uBlock Origin is what you can do about it. I hardly ever see any ads. SponsorBlock is great if you watch youtube too.

You don't need root access to steal all of the data that your user account has access to.

AI image upscaleing isn't something I would associate with being energy efficient or fast. I wonder how that's supposed to work?

That sounds like a good way to get their employees shot.

If you want rechargeable batteries, just put some eneloop batteries (or some of the cheaper, rebranded ones) in the remote. They are not like the old NiMH batteries, they hold a charge for a years.

I certainly don't want a remote that I have to throw out in a few years because the non-replaceable lithium battery wore out.

If you are just self hosting for your own use, just stick with letsencrypt or self signed certificates.

The paid certificates are for businesses where the users need to trust the certificate. They usually come with warranties and identity verification, which is important if you are accepting payments through your website, but it's just a waste of money for personal use.

The music can be copied to new hard drives without any loss in quality, so why are they leaving their only copy on 30 year old hard drives?

It means the same thing. I would have just drawn a line since they are right next to each other.

There should be a capacitor between REGN and ground and BAT and ground.

My GOG games run great on wine, it just takes a bit more work to install them. Wine has better support for early windows games than windows does now.

If they use a good, 12X bluray drive, it will be quicker to install from a disk than to download it unless you're lucky enough to have a good fiber internet connection. Even then, the servers you download from will often be overloaded and slow on release day.
