Run the BIOS self tests.

Something's definitely broken (TPM errors, self test errors, graphical artifacts), but I can't tell what from the image. I would guess motherboard problems, or a subtly damaged CPU.

Could also be more then one problem in the case of over voltage (worst case consequence of PSU damage), or intermittent failure from under voltage (should be fixed with a new PSU).

OTA TV will probably work, depending on how close you are to a transmitter, you might even be able to get away with an unbent paperclip as an antenna.

The GDPR is not "cookie law", it only prohibits tracking users in a way not essential to the operation of the site using locally stored identifiers (cookies, local storage, indexed DB...)

Storing a cookie to track login sessions, or color scheme preference does not require asking the user or allowing them to decline.

These people could have checked a weather forecast and had a lot of advance warning to GTFO. If you go out to the desert without doing anything to ensure your safety, it is mostly your fault if you get screwed. Same reason it's funny when antivaxxers get measles and when COVID deniers get COVID. Of course it is still sad and the people responsible for spreading those theories should be punished, but it is sort of funny.

Check out OpenAssistant, a free to use and open source LLM based assistant. You can even run it locally so no one else can see what your doing.

Counterexample: the many cases of large companies (Best buy, Cisco, Skype etc) being sued over violations of the GNU GPL. The original authors of the code often get awarded millions in damages because a large company stole their work.

A lot of people have old phones whose batteries are to degraded to be useful for much, those could be used as servers with much less problems then any other phone (no spotty connectivity, no changing mobile network ips, no cutting into the battery life of your phone)

With the amount of ads I see for things like NordVPN or PIA openly advertising bypassing geo blocking I doubt many people haven't heard of them. (Those who haven't will soon hear about them from friends)

Same for C, & yields a pointer to a value, and * allows you to access the data. (For rust people, a pointer is like a reference with looser type checking)

Pay Microsoft a subscription fee or use libreOffice or another free and open source tool instead.
