Buy new router, connect via Ethernet, disable ISP's router Wifi to avoid radio interference, share wifi access to family member.

Set QoS rules on your new router to get a higher priority/bandwidth for YOUR devices.

KDE uses less RAM, you can fact check quite easily.

Depending on the distro it ships with more or less stuff, but a few games, an office suite, media players for audio/video and in some cases a partition manager, are all necessary tools in any setup, at least in my book.

I don't see the bloat.

I'm also just a normal tech person, so my answers may be inaccurate.

My understanding is:

1. ARM seems superior in the mobile computing domain where efficiency matters more than raw power. I wonder if that's related to the RISC vs CISC instructions... if that's the case, having an open architecture alternative to ARM would allow any manufacturer to create their CPU designs without having to pay a hefty fee to ARM. Should bring more competition and won't keep manufacturers hostage of ARM. If ARMs raises their royalties 1000x, Apple, Qualcomm etc just have to comply for lack of alternatives, and consumers end up paying the price. This won't be possible with RISC-V
2. I can definitely see this happening, or at least having the option. OSs and apps will have to build for that new architecture of course, which takes time and money. I'm personally particularly excited about laptops
3. I guess. I don't think it's ever impossible to do this, it's always a matter of how much of an impact it has on performances

If I said something stupid, please let me know, I'd like to learn about this!

Let's just appreciate the fact that basically no other browser has this.

With chrome/ium you can't even block ads.

Because Apple wouldn't fucking let anybody else use iMessage.

Whereas RCS is out there for anyone to use.

Well look at that, no one seems to mention opensuse/Tumbleweed.

Great sign 👍🏻

Fedora also unscathed.

Two of my favorites, if not my absolute favorites.

Reminds me how much I hate Apple.

Thanks Google for making Android.

Now please turn the evil knob down a notch and go back being the awesome company you once were.

Edit: typo

Just to state the obvious for the less tech-literate out there: an open source one could do the same.

It's just very easy for anyone to find out by inspecting the code, that's why no developer in their right mind would pull such a move.

Nope.

Invest in a solid charger (30-40€ will do). You'll keep it for years, it'll charge an odd number of batteries as well (unlike some cheap ones that only charge in pairs) and it charges just the right amount, then stops. Some even have battery test/discharge function, and charge more than just AA/AAA.

Then invest in a bunch of rechargeables, possibly Eneloops or something good from Amazon.

Now profit for years to come. The planet will thank you as well.

Honestly single use consumer batteries should be banned.

Isn't zfs out of tree?

Someone finally said it. Can't stand it, sorry.
