It seems your assessment is correct. You’d be surprised at the speeds you can get on poor wifi when you don’t care about latency. The average speed marching up with your download is a dead giveaway too. The fact that maximum over 5 minutes exceeds it is a bit weird, but it could be explained by some networking equipment in the middle (probably at your ISP if I was to guess) terminating MTUs for whatever reason. A common one is misconfiguring various solutions for capping internet speeds to subscribers, where your local MTU will be set correctly but the outgoing ones will be set to the maximum speed of the link.

Pretty sure the TOR user agent is just default firefox, by design. It’s very easy to detect OS with very rudimentary fingerprinting techniques, a lot of which are blocked by the TOR browser but they can never get them all.

It’s a misnomer. It’s actually a slur filter

Also consider that Roquefort-sur-Soulzon, of cheese fame, has 528 inhabitants.

That’s constructive dismissal

It’s… Not great? Sure it’s performant but that’s there is going for it, the rest is really not that good for a tablet. They should have made this a gaming laptop and it would’ve been fine.

Protondb says to use proton 7.x, but the rest doesn’t seem to happen to anyone else:

A few years ago there was a fantastic video detailing thorvald’s PC and it is a beast, crazy how far we’ve come

While Microsoft and Google merely pretend to like open source but transparently hate it, it is (was) not quite as obvious that red hat wanted to capture the enterprise Linux market wholesale. What red hat has done is terrible for the ecosystem, much more so than Microsoft just throwing out worthless tokens of appreciation.

Apart from the mouse thing (which I’m skeptical about), cloudflare also correlates your traffic with other sites hosted on cloudflare. Bots typically don’t visit many sites, click around there, find another one, etc, whereas humans will have visited other sites, will be slower at clicking the button, will have left comments on some sites.

So obviously this sucks, however.

Look into timewarrior+taskwarrior. They’re the only tools I’ve ever seen for these types of tasks that don’t fucking suck ass.

Notion syncs using https. It’s safe to say that as long as you haven’t specifically installed weird apps (notion is not a weird app) nothing going on on your PC is visible to anyone else.

This is of course, not true of enterprise and school devices, which usually have very powerful antivirus solutions installed that allow the work/school to see whatever you do (though they mostly don’t care, as long as you aren’t causing trouble on the network or doing things that might get them sued)

This is a classic move to not get sued, exactly like airlines do. If you try to sue them after redeeming the gift card, they can argue that you’ve been made whole, and do 'ot 'eed additional compensation.

No, not really. Of course if you are using a disk that’s full you’re going to have issues but as long as you have 16Gb free the performance will largely be the same for gaming.

I mean, the 64 Gb emmc does have lower performance on load times which could pose problems on certain games beyond just lengthening loading times, but NMS isn’t one of these games.

What does the 500 Gb model have to do with anything?

The YouTube music app has one today.

It kind of needs that (you can use trucks to make it go away) because of the android model of apps where an app may get yeeted off a cliff if it’s not currently showing a notification. Again, you can pull some tricks but for the average user they have to do it this way.

If you turned off battery optimisations globally, it might still kill it. You specifically have to go into app options and allow it to be always on, as well as allowing all it’s notifications

Kde connect is great.
