Just require any new operating systems to support 15 year old hardware. We should require manufacturers to provide 15 years of UEFI and firmware updates too.

The VPN is needed for the torrent client. If you use it with the arr programs, you will probably be blocked by anything that's behind cloudflare.

Luckily we have open source firmware and we can build our own printers.

Most ghost guns are not 3D printed so this is nothing but security theater and an invasion of privacy.

It's pretty common to have breakers with built in GFCI these days.

We only just got hardware support for AV1 and they are already coming out with a new codec?

That's what an archiving program is supposed to do.

Earth leakage would only trip the breaker if it was a GFCI, so the problem is something else.

Is it plugged into a GFCI protected outlet?

The power supply will have RFI filters in it and they always have some leakage. They may be installed before the power switch. There could just be too many devices with some earth leakage connected to the circuit, causing it to trip without any of them being faulty.

Bluetooth audio works pretty well these days. I just pair my headphones and set the profile to A2DP in PulseAudio Volume Control and it works. SBC and AptX codecs should just work, but LDAC and AAC may need additional packages installed. All headphones should support SBC, but it has the lowest audio quality.

Any decent password manager should handle generating TOTP codes. A phone is not needed for that.

There's a huge difference between e-mail and a site that is specifically designed to keep people addicted.

The warning won't do anything though. I would be surprised if it takes more than a day before ublock origin has a filter to hide it.

There are also rolling release distros that never need upgrades. You install the system once and normal updates are all it needs.
