Forge it. Governments mostly take paperwork in good faith, and only question it beyond surface level if they are given a reason to.

This is a lot less true than it was five years ago. Web browsing and basic word editing has not become harder to do in the past ten years, but hardware has made some major leaps. (thanks amd) So as long as it has an ssd and a semi modern (within five years) processor, it will do a great job of handling homework and 4k video. With windows replaced with linux, it'll do all those things and feel snappy while it does it.

Avoid sub 100$ laptops, and keep a skeptical eye on anything between that and 400$, but it can absolutely be done.

I'm biased, but the dell inspiron laptops that businesses offload are perfect for this sort of task. They have connectivity out the wazoo (useful for that outdated projector in the seldom used classroom) and their batteries are easily replaced.

Honestly the biggest issue i have with this is that they put the handle on the wrong side. Opening that will be a huge pain in the ass.

Shit, same tho. They brought him a fucking fish at the end. What. The. Fuck.

Back when OSU! was the big thing for streamers, and I was mainlining adc Draven bot lane in league of legends, i bought into the hype that was disabling mouse acceleration. I thought, surely, since disabling it gives the raw values rather than accelerrated ones, that my game performance would improve and be more accurate.

I stuck with it disabled for over year, thinking that eventually i would adapt to this new method of input and even become a better gamer with more clicks going where i wanted them to.

It never got better. Hell, my performance stayed worse than before the switch to disabled accelleration. It took me a month to go back to my previous level acurrracy once i switxhed it back on, and i have never turned it off since.

What people and apparently large language models don't understand is that mouse accelleration doesn't make the mouse movement unpredictable. It makes it accellerate on a known curve. I grew up with mouse aceleration and by the time i learned i could change it, i was not able to master or even learn this new way of using a mouse.

For those of you who don't want personal anecdotes, turning off mouse accelleration on a three-monitor setup means unacceptably slow traversal, or unacceptably high (skipping pixel levels of too high) speed in the fine movement level.

I can second the Miele purchase. I don't actually use it too hard so I can't speak to it's durability, but it does real well with my stairs, carpets, and honestly, tiles. I do more vacuuming than sweeping - i hate the dustpan lines.

I use a ip link checker - to verify the vpn is working like it should. They're a dime a dozen but this one is the one that showed up first on my search.

basically, you download a unique-to-you magnet torrent, and then the torrent / website will tell you what ip is being shown to the outside world. if you leave it in your client you can see at a glance what ip you are actually using in your client.

I can't speak for the more modern cars, but my 2019 corolla had a cell phone connection which could be cut by pulling a single fuse. Idunno if it's a universal name, but it was called the DCM module. The emergency button in the roof was wired through it, and so was one of the right speakers and the built-in microphone. None of them work with the fuse removed. I'll route the speaker and mic wires around it at some point by going through the glove box, but it hasn't been a priority for me.

I'm happy i did that too. Apparently toyota is still leaking the location history of a bunch of their cars and i'd hate to see that get abused.

if there was an extention that could skip the sponsor segments inside the videos themselves I’d use it in a heartbeat.

sponsorblock does that. it's crowd sourced, so it doesn't always work with the small channel newest videos, but it's very good at what it does considering.

You uh, haven't spent a lot of time around active military members, have you? This is a rather common feeling for them, especially the marine corps. Like, people don't praise Lee Ermy for how wild his role was, but because of how accurate to reality he was.
