Windows 10... I have Mint dual booted, but couldn't bother to make video games work on it and have used it maybe a few dozen hours at most. School had some fairly Windows-centric materials as well that made it hard to transfer over.

Sadly superfluous meetings is a time-honored corporate tradition across all age groups.
At least for utilities you can reframe it as paying for parcels of utility, and then consuming them, like you do for food. Middleman bullshit like cloud services that refuse to let you just self-host can screw off. Having to spend money to spend extra resources to deal with a 3rd party is obnoxious, doubly so when they just decide they don't want to support it anymore and pull the plug.
Only because the late fees and collection agencies are to die for :)
But at the same time, deflating the sales of the product has the risk of prompting the company to not continue with a franchise or employ those developers in the future.
Wireless charging?
Really just depends on if users can maintain composure in the face of disagreement (and barring that, moderation that can temper the more... rambunctious members effectively and consistently) as the community grows into a more broad audience. Otherwise the community will just fragment as they always do once civil discussion breaks down from bad faith actors of one flavor or another.
Only reason I didn't go to lemmy.ml is because their top post was "please go somewhere else." Lol
Isn't Spez the guy that stealth edited some user's negative comments about him?
Was going to make it a sort of central computer that could centralize all the computing for several members of the family. Was hoping to get a basic laptop that could hook into the unit and play games/program on a virtual machine with graphics far above what the laptop could have handled, plus the aforementioned spin up of more machines for friends. Craft Computing had a lot of fun computing setups I wanted to learn and emulate. I would have also had the standard suite of video services and general tomfoolery. Maybe dip into crypto mining with idle time later on. Lots of ideas that somewhat fizzled out.
Yeah, I was trying to go all the way when I should have compartmentalized it a bit and just had two computers instead of one superbeast. The server PSUs aren't super expensive relatively speaking, 1U hotswap 1200W PSUs with 94% efficiency are like $100. Problem was that the power distribution board I had didn't have GPU power connectors, only CPU power connectors, and tired me wasn't going to accept no for an answer and thus let out the magic smoke in it. I got lucky and the distribution board seems to be the intended failure point in these things, so the expensive motherboard and components got by unscathed (I think, I never used the GPU, and it was just some cheap Ebay thing). Still a fairly costly mistake that I should have avoided, but I was tired that night and wanted something to just work out.
That always confused me as a child, since it was super easy to just test it for yourself. Turned out salt tasted salty regardless of where on your tongue it was, the same for the rest of the flavors.
