Nice, now your computer is mining crypto for someone else or part of a botnet.

Pirated copies rarely contain any of the extras. Some people actually do watch those.

Well, you are going to have to trust someone to store your offsite backup unless you can afford a second house somewhere. It should be a backup service where you can encrypt the data before uploading it though.

You shouldn't be trusting google to store your photos anyways.

A multi monitor setup would be ideal. Get an OLED for gaming and an LCD for everything else. Text looks bad on OLED monitors because they don't support subpixel antialiasing. Panels and window borders will start to burn into OLEDs after several years, so it's best to save them for gaming and movies.

For an ultrawide monitor, you will definitely want a window manager that supports tiling. KDE supports basic tiling functions and there are plugins to make it better.

The latency of RAM has been around 10ns for the last couple decades. The latency of a good NVMe SSD is about 1000 times worse than RAM.

There's lots of demand for large drives, it's mostly for enterprise drives though.

It wasn't that long ago when RAM had similar transfer speeds.

With PCIe 6, consumer grade SSDs shouldn't need more than a single lane. That will be nice since AMD and Intel have been pretty skimpy with the PCIe lanes lately.

There's musikcube if you're looking for a terminal based player.

It still can't sort or browse by album artist, which makes it a real pain to use. You have to apply a patch and compile it from source to make it usable.

Probably E-LORAN. It's ground based and transmits significantly more power than GPS. That makes it harder to jam, especially over a wide area.

uBlock works fine in Firefox and its forks.
