I miss print coupons. Hearing "get the app" or "there's an app for it" makes me flinch these days.

Ideally, 256 GB + microSD. 128 GB today gives me ample room for my offline maps, music collection, podcasts, and Kiwix libraries. No gaming, only the occasional video, and one photo per day on average, so 256 GB would future-proof it.
As for a minimum, 32GB. For several years, I had a phone with 4GB of internal storage. Didn't use the microSD slot since it seemed to drain the battery. Android takes up much more space nowadays, but I wouldn't be too upset having ~16 GB usable space for myself.
The SD card would be separately encrypted as a portable backup of everything important to me, accessible on-the-spot whenever I need it.
I'm curious, how did you build the BMS with a cheap controller? I won't judge. I've always wanted to build my own battery pack that reports percentage back to the machine, without worrying about killing the BMS if it loses power.
School is where the passion for learning goes to die and the desire to cheat is born
In this day and age, hobbies are the last bastions of passion and curiosity. One who is engaged in a hobby is intrinsically motivated to learn and apply what has been learned in novel ways, just as the scholars of old have done. School, reviled by many a student, has earned its reputation by perverting the concept of learning and exploiting students' passions. The desire to cheat is most unnatural among students, a telltale sign that one's passion and curiosity for the topic at hand has been extinguished, replaced with a desire to rid oneself of a burden, the burden of learning only for the sake of becoming learned.
Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months
Makes me wonder how far the closest alternative, glim, could be upgraded to match Ventoy given the confines of GRUB.
Someone had mentioned that Fedora fails to verify when booting from Ventoy. Now I'm thinking if I could dd the media loaded via Ventoy and compare with an original copy to see what changed.
They sell finished motherboards with the upgrade on eBay and Aliexpress. Nothing newer than Ivy Bridge though.
Is that with the 3612QE or the 3615QE?
What did it in were the semi-annual mandatory feature updates, which restored the invasive settings and bloat I worked hard to remove. Already being acquainted with Linux at that point, I began dual-booting and later having Windows on an entirely separate machine for a few stubborn programs I needed for work.
What made me acquainted with Linux was looking for alternatives after the loss of theming options and the start menu in Windows 8. That eventually brought me to my present Debian setup with the Chicago 95 theme, which recreates (and even improved) the workflow and stability I had grown to love in Windows 2000.
The first time I ever booted into a Linux iso, however, was to migrate files off of my machine, which was excruciatingly slow to transfer files under XP.
