After 20 years that account might have escheated.

The 6900HS in the 2022 Asus Zephyrus G14 has a default boosting behavior that keeps it at 95°C most of the time (on the user's lap). It might have a liquid metal thermal interface. Given these two samples, the original story is not surprising.

I made this switch over the last year and can second the recommendation. If you like Ubuntu, you actually like Debian and just put up with Ubuntu.

We need to better define exactly who's tracking we need to get around. I agree that DoH is a better solution to being tracked by your ISP.

Maybe I misunderstood what this does. Is unbound not sending requests to the ISP in this case?

The author states that pihole sending requests to 8.8.8.8 (Google) is worse than sending requests to your ISP. I disagree. I have always had terrible experiences with Comcost's DNS. I trust them less.

I just went through the Simple -> BBVA -> PNC transition. Yesterday when I installed the PNC app on my Pixel, I got the warning that I would need to allow storage access. But then the storage access prompt never came up. I just checked, the app doesn't have storage access but it works fine. Either they ended up not using the storage (maybe using a legitimate attestation API), or the latest (for one week) version of Android has a different, isolated storage API that doesn't need permission.

As domeone coming straight out of college, I disagree with your premise that threading is not accessible anymore. However, one possibility is that a proliferation of new languages brought with them new threading models and runtimes that all behave slightly differently. This makes many of the models look foreign.
