I personally tend to get cautious when there is a proposal that x will solve the problem that occurred on y date, especially 3 days after the failure.

Microsoft has been working on eBPF for a few years at least.

If you're really concerned, they have discussions and communication channels where you're invited to air your concerns. They're listed on their github:

Who knows, maybe they already have answers to your concerns. If not, they can address them there.

It's been a minute since I've used Librewolf so maybe things changed, but I remember that not being able to sync between devices was the biggest difference. There wasn't an account login option in LW, but there is in Waterfox.

Other than that, I dont remember any real differences. Waterfox has been fine for me because of the sync, but if you don't need account syncing, LW is fine.

It seems I'm wrong, but I always thought it was a given that a company's main goal is to make money, so the mission statement is used to define how that's going to be done. (Whether they follow it or not is a different can of worms.)

McDs customers mostly know what they want: _cheap_ burgers, fries, and sodas. If one wanted healthy food, they'd go elsewhere. In the area I live in, very few want a salad from McDs, they instead go to sweetgreen, tender greens, moonbowls or any # of salad specialty shops around here. If one wants a good juicy burger, they go elsewhere also. L.A. is not short on great burger and salad joints.

For many people, McDs will never be equated with healthy food no matter what they try. That ship sailed a long time ago.

I asked for better sources not more vague gossip articles. Did you even read them?

The only better source would be from the "married" couple. But you can't get that so internet confirmation it is for you. Sad. Not even a good "sleuth". No wonder you avoid the privacy aspect.

You know what would have avoided all this? Minding your own business.

Have you checked out older and/or discontinued stocks of name brands like dell or HP? I've seen those for $50-$100 on Amazon and ebay. I remember seeing an older 2021 dell (or possibly hp) touchscreen 2 in 1 for like $80 or so (I think it was on amazon). Might be worth it more than a random brand.

Amazon has a ton of cheap laptops w/10-12" screens priced around $250 or less, including some touchscreens and older big brand manufacturer models. There's a few that are $100 or less. I'm definitely not vouching for the quality or usefulness though.

Those aren't conflicting statements.

It started off as a project made solely for SerenityOS (as in no relation to other OSes). Now they switched and have been working on Linux/MacOS/Unix versions. The development thing is that they're not ready yet for any release.

maybe it's just the post offices around where I've lived that don't bother selling the "temporary" ones.

Are we talking about US? If so, it might be your office. The one near me tries to sell me all kinds when I actually go in to do stuff. USPS still sells varying rate stamps ranging 1 cent additional postage to $30 priority mail express stamps.

Since the source seems to be social media posts, there's a small possibility that theft may be some kind of portion of the number, but I'm not sure due to the questionable accuracy of source data.

Semi-related: I work for a homeless service agency and a few of our clients were arrested for a tiny luggage theft ring at LAX a couple of months ago. One of the detectives said that some of the luggage they found was reported missing and it was luck that someone else had airtags hidden in their luggage to be able to track the item which allowed them to discover more items from others.

Forgot to address this:

Is this some kind of USA mentality that use meter to define inch at the beginning but refuse to just use meter?

Probably yes, considering it was made in the US, using North American physical printing standards. I'm sure there's other software you can use that uses ISO standards.

When I looked a couple of months ago, the Katana from Titan and Osaka might be comparable, but it's only $100 cheaper. The others I looked at were over $1000 (Thermaltake, Sidiz, and Xchair). The Xchair has a cooling/massage/heating system you can buy separately and add to their chairs, but it will still be over $700, I think.
