I have some concerns.

Nothing wrong with hentai...

They sell for about $1.50 on Ali Express. It's hilarious.

Kind of crazy that I can get a large pizza and a 2 liter from Pizza Hut for the cost of a single meal at Jack in the Box.

According to economic theory, "when price exceeds value."

Probably because LTT has been shown to be deceitful, unethical, and unwilling to take steps to ensure accuracy. These two videos from GN explain: https://youtu.be/FGW3TPytTjc?si=b8UhcBFU9eo0DPv0

Prior to that I found Linus smug face intensely irritating. And when I went looking for information on stuff his videos would always pop up but they never actually helped.

So while I mildly disliked Linus prior to the GN investigation, now I've actually blocked his YouTube channels.

YMMV

It depends. Some state police or local government have S&R helicopters for use. They're typically cheaper by an order of magnitude than a commercial medivac heli. Or so I was advised by a DPS officer.

Coca-Cola argued in court that "no reasonable person" would believe that Vitamin Water was healthy or good for you.

Dick Cheney is alive and well. Just biding his time ...

I'm running Fedora 40 on a Surface Pro 5. The problem is that you need a custom kernel for the Pro 5 and later. You can get the kernel from the Linux Surface GitHub page. Arch, Debian, Fedora, Opensuse Tumbleweed, Gentoo, and NixOS I think all have repos set up for it, so I'd recommend one of them. Fedora works for me, noting that there was a problem installing 39, so I had to install 38 and then upgrade. On 40 now, and it's absolutely stable.

My android tablet is dying and I decided to buy a used Surface Pro 5 off of eBay. I'm putting Fedora on there and since it's not going to change much after I install it, should I try Silverblue? I'm going to need Antbox, Wine Bottles, Only Office, possibly Calibre, Cozy, and others. I primarily use my tablet for reading, streaming video, and music. No games. Any real disadvantage using Silverblue?
