Plenty of people are now old enough that they can go see a doctor themselves and get the diagnosis that their parents never bothered to or were unable to bring them to get when they were kids.

I have had the Sandisk Ultra Luxe 512GB version for a few years now with Ventoy on it and have been very pleased with it. I keep a cheap USB-C to USB-A attached to it and that lets me use it with my phone or on any computer.

Matrix (federated) or Briar (multi-modal P2P) are both good options for getting rid of dependency on central organizations.

That's news to me considering the EPA-rated fuel economy of vehicles with both hybrid and pure ICE drivetrains is universally higher for the hybrid versions.

An ICE vehicle needs a much larger engine than is truly necessary due to the inefficiencies and limitations of mechanical transmissions, whereas a hybrid can have a much smaller, more efficient engine.

A hybrid can potentially act like a 'perfect' transmission, capable of taking in power from an engine running at its single most efficient RPM and, with the aid of battery storage, produce any combination of speed and torque that has an average power less than the output of the ICE.

Realistically, the target audience are organizations as nowadays most business laptops are being carried between docking stations with the occasional meeting or air travel in-between and 13" is an excellent size to meet those needs.

When hooked to a docking station, the screen size and keyboard is entirely irrelevant and modern laptop performance is...honestly crazy good.

When in a meeting, it's probably being either used to take notes fullscreen or show a presentation, so pretty neutral.

Finally, when traveling, you can really can feel the difference between a 13" and a 15" when you're running on too short of a layover between flights.

Oh nice a nicely-formatted list of reasons I don't switch phones more frequently than once every 5 years: I loathe setting them up as specifically as I want them to behave

And if they somehow do, rest assured that red states will use it as an opportunity to disarm LGBT folk for being 'violently mentally ill' before the ink is dry on the decision.

My partner and I use a git repository on our self-hosted gitea instance for household management.

Issue tracker and kanban boards for task management, wiki for documentation, and some infrastructure components are version controlled in the repo itself.

Home Assistant (also self-hosted) provides the ability to easily and automatically create issues based on schedules and sensor data, like creating a git issue when when weather conditions tomorrow may necessitate checking this afternoon that nothing gets left out in the rain.

Matrix (also self-hosted) lets Gitea and Home Assistant bully us into remembering to do things we might have forgotten. (Send a second notification if the washer finished 15 minutes ago, but the dryer never started)

It's been fantsstic being able to create git issues for honey-dos as well as having the automations for creating issues for recurring tasks. “Hey we need to take X to the vet for Y sometime next week” “Oh yeah, can you go ahead and put in a ticket?” And vice versa.

Is there a non-video source for this information?

That's a pretty silly headline for an article that quite clearly states that the issue was with the router's data usage reporting capabilities.

Virtualizing applications that use 3d graphics can be a pain

I'm personally a fan of plaintext accounting tools like ledger and moved to that from GNUCash several years ago after fighting with the DB getting corrupted repeatedly. There are a few tools for importing from GNUCash as well as many tools for interacting with the ledger on mobile devices, so perhaps worth looking into.
