Wait- OnePlus is good, actually? Last I heard was massive disappointment in the company

As others have said, don't buy TVs for their smart features. Just use a streaming stick. They are easier to replace as software changes, and there's practically no real benefit to ever putting a TV online in the first place.

Also, LG panels are the best visual quality. You're doing good going the LG route. Just keep it offline.

Ever since that switch, I've just straight up used a discord bot. Hasn't failed me yet!

Of course, an argument can be made that this is the evolution of the number of companies that used a variance of "AAA" to appear first in the phone books of old

While you're not completely incorrect about it not being Linux's fault, trying to gatekeep "anywhere outside of Steam support" is just as unhelpful as game developers not focusing on Linux.

Does that same logic extend to not-Steam's ProtonDB, a 3rd party website for tracking how well games play on Linux using Proton?

In addition to rsync as phx mentioned, you can use photorec to get a deeper scan

When you need service, but data is blocked by all the steel in the ceiling/roof. I've used it, but with my VPN active. I wonder if they're now going to try to block VPN services?

"Valleys" was the key word there. Even if the distance isn't bad, a mountain between you and the broadcast tower can make 20 miles look like 70 in terms of signal

Yeah, this straight up happened to a dude I was rather fond of. We were working in desktop support for a big fintech company, and he used his not-quite-admin privileges to bypass the bootlock on the laptops for personal use. I warned him that it was a bad idea, he brushed it off. Was gone by the next week.

I would personally take it as a compliment. But then, I like the guy's rants and deep dives into tech. Your mileage (heh) may vary
