HDMI is much worse than DVI. Because of their bullshit licensing, the newer versions can't be used with open source drivers.

Android also shows an indicator when any app is accessing the microphone or camera now.

I still prefer eSATA over USB when using SATA drives. A lot of the USB to SATA chips don't support reading the SMART data from the drive. Now we have NVMe SSDs connected over thunderbolt, which is much faster than SATA or USB3 and SMART works correctly.

I'm sure someone will release an addon or some custom CSS to fix it.

Wow, I didn't realize the windows tax was that high. I thought the bulk OEM licensing was significantly cheaper than the retail price.

It could be a game issue. I remember a lot of games had issues with alt-tabbing back when I used windows. It could also be a Wine issue. I had one game that started freezing when alt-tabbing after a Wine update a couple months ago. Rolling back to the previous version fixed it.

You can't find anything on discord with a web search. You can't even open it without logging in. Once you're logged in, good luck finding an answer to a problem that was posted a year or two ago. That's much worse than reddit.

It could be worse. At least they didn't move to discord or facebook.

Single core? That must be more like 20 years old now.

It's not uncommon for a single web page to use 5-10MB. Shopping and social media sites are the some of the worst since they have lots of javascript libraries and pictures. It's not hard to use a couple GB in a day without streaming anything.

Modern websites are excessively bloated. That data goes fast.

I wouldn't suggest relying on Google for anything. https://killedbygoogle.com/
Search and Gmail are probably about the only thing they won't kill.
