In your settings you find a special url that contains your session. If you set that as the search engine, it also works as expected in incognito mode. However, when you log out, the link expires if I'm not mistaken.

Well, I just went for the 100 search free trial, liked what I got, and am now a paying customer. I rarely switch back to Google for specific local stuff, but for 99% of my searches, I prefer what I get on Kagi , and even more what they offer me besides that: privacy and no ads.
Believe what you want, but I'd say give it a try and see for yourself.
If you like modifiers, privacy and no ads in your search, try out Kagi. Since you don't pay with your data, you do pay with your money however, but I find it worth it.
At least unsolicited duck pics aren't very likely to get you on some list 😅
Just to make sure... Did you check whether the LED can be turned off in the monitor settings?
If that is not the case, I would suggest getting a smart plug, and specifically one that can monitor the power consumption. That way you can automate it in such a way that it switches the power off when the power consumption drops below a certain value and stays there for a bit. I set this up in multiple locations in the house and it helps save on standby power usage. I use node-red to monitor and control the plugs, but other options like Home Assistant would work as well.
The plugs (Shelly) I use even have the option to set up the automation in the app (which requires cloud connection to be enabled), or run scripts on the devices themselves (no cloud required, but not all their devices support local scripts. You typically need the newer "plus" devices for that. You can then easily set up an automation that switches the plug off if it is powered on and the power consumption stays below 10W for 5 minutes for example. You could put your whole desk on that plug, which should save you some money on your energy bill as an added bonus.
Indeed, I'm as pleasantly surprised by the surprise as by the quality of the search results that Kagi offers me.
Since they announced their AMD based system, I was waiting until they would become available where I live. As soon as they did, I ordered one and it's without a doubt one of the best laptops I ever had (the surface pro is also very high on that list), and on top of that it's very customizable, repairable and upgradeable.
Framework uses 3:2 displays in their 13 inch model. Great little laptop and easy to repair and upgrade as well!
If you move to the EU, not only your skillset will determine how easily you can find a decent job, but also how well your diploma translates to the ones we have here. My guess is that for technologically or scientifically oriented degrees, that's probably not too much of an issue, on the condition that the level of education for the degree you have in your country of origin is good enough.
If you're seriously considering this, I'd suggest finding some people who made the same decision and talk to them about their experience.
The EU has its own problems of course, but I have the feeling there's generally less inequality than in a lot of other first world countries. Access to good education and healthcare is generally cheap or at least affordable. Some countries cope with waiting lists for specialized healthcare however, although that differs from country to country.
As a Canadian, the language shouldn't be an issue. In large parts of Europe, you can get by with French and English. In a larger, multilingual company, people usually default to English. I know a Syrian family who fled the war with their kids (the youngest wasaround the age of yours), and the kids learned the language (Dutch) very quickly and did well in school, moving on to university education. The parents had a harder time adjusting, since their degrees weren't very compatible, but also the language remained an obstacle for them.
So, offer the car back to Tesla at 1 cent under purchase price, then sell to whoever you like if they refuse to buy it...
That was my initial thought as well. You may or may not find it worth it for you. Time will tell I guess.
