CC "debt" that's paid off in full every month is debt in the same sense that eating at a typical restaurant puts you in debt.
Don't get me wrong, unmanageable CC debt is a real thing, but that's not what we're talking about.

A six/seven figure donation for these companies is...nothing. While I'm all for grabbing my face eating leopard popcorn, I'm not sure I'd say this falls under that category. This amount of money doesn't feel like trying to buy favors
more like "please don't specifically target us with your wrath of incompetence."
This title makes it sound like he wouldn't be a good Klingon, either. Which...is definitely true.
I bet he thinks he'd make a good Ferengi. But that's insulting to the Ferengis...

Sounds like you've only ever used desktops and/or laptops...
Here's January of this year. San Francisco, so pretty moderate weather
typically don't run heat during the day, and low 60s at night (if at all) during the winter. Large temperature gradient throughout house, typically.
South facing windows gives kitchen and living room a greenhouse effect, particularly in the winter, hence the large daily temperature swings:
Good point
it is "incrementally free," although I guess if you count tire wear and tear that's not even true.
You're just gatekeeping.
ThinkPad with a generator? Nothing wrong with that
maybe add LoRa, get a ham license and add some packet radio or digital modes and you have a neat disaster setup.
MacBook that you don't want to scuff? Well, I'm not that precious with my gear, but you do you. Many Mac laptops last a very long time, and the performance of modern Apple silicon is really, really impressive
and you have UNIX out of the box. Plenty for a tech enthusiast to like.
Eating this spicy Klingon-Thai curry is an honorable battle; but the battle the next morning...that is a battle without honor.
A lot of non-graphical utilities
basically the *NIX coreutils, plus stuff like rsync, ssh, compression/archival tools (tar, gzip, bzip2, etc.), grep, and the like. Git also comes to mind.
I think part of this is that the UNIX philosophy is "developer friendly"
tell a good dev they need to make a compression utility that follows this protocol, and they will make a compression utility that follows the protocol.
Your local city college may or may not offer free classes (in San Francisco, you just need to show proof that you live in the city with some legal status).
Some public transportation is free for certain groups (youth and folks experiencing homelessness can get free passes here).
"First X of the month" at the zoo/a museum/whatever
lots of venues have free events.
A jog, bike ride, hike
lots of great stuff outside!
