articles don't mention mitigation methods.

what to disable in thunderbird to not be vulnerable to "obfuscated JavaScript file that is sent to the victim through emails in archive files." and prevent that "The JavaScript file drops a self-copy at “C:\Users\<Username>” location with random names like “needlereportcreepy.bat”. The bat file is then executed"?

Consequence:

Software can only be good, when enough people WANT to work on it and with it along the complete life-cycle. There's a critical amount of developers/contributors/testers and (feedback providing) users.

Hence a lot of critical consumer stuff is based on popular opensource.

Also, we're entering an aera where the difference between hardware/firmware/software gets increasingly blurred. So all of this applies to more and more hardware, too.

input the PC audio into a home audio receiver/amp and use the headphone output from that to drive the headphones?

You not only can but depending on your amp it probably outperforms the average headphone amp in every aspect.

Also decent loudspeakers + cheap amp (+ cheap subwoofer) will likely outperform your average PC-Speakers.

Not sure if I'd trust an OS named like a Bond villain.

Didn't he prefer theatrical acting & live audience and thus played his TV role like a theater actor would? I vaguely remember reading about it.

Those tend to traditionally exaggerate gesture, mimic and tone so the last row still gets everything even when they're further away.
