Any second-hand business class laptop, i.e. HP Elitebook/Probook/Zbook, Dell Inspiron/Latitude/XPS, or Lenovo Thinkpad.
Businesses tend to get rid of them after 4 years, even if they’re still in good condition. Great bang for your buck and easily repairable if something does end up breaking.
Does it work well?
Here in the Netherlands my level of German is widely called “steenkolen Duits” (coal German) because it’s course, harsh, hard and dirty)
That’s actually not the etymology. Steenkolenduits (spelled without a space) is a riff on steenkolenengels, which was the basic/broken English spoken by dockworkers with sailors on incoming British coal ships (steenkolenboten).
AFAIK you don’t have to use it as a router. If you configure all the interfaces to LAN it should just act as a switch/AP combo.
IME those can be unreliable though, and they’re barely cheaper than Zigbee bulbs
That’s how Fairphones have worked since their first model I think? It just means you can replace specific modules if something breaks, rather than having to replace the entire mainboard. They’ve also done a camera upgrade for existing phones in the past that way
Or they just expend their effort on the browsers that 96% of people use and not the one that 4% use. I love Firefox, but I don’t think this is the conspiracy you’re claiming it is.
You definitely shouldn’t need to do that, one account is enough.
Maybe you’re confused because communities can be on different instances (servers). But you don’t need to make an account on those instances, because all the instances are federated together. That means you can just have your account on one instance and follow and participate in all your communities from there.
Between 6-10 hours of what?
edit: oh, you mean the xkcd, LOL. Well let me know if it works out for you haha
Some BIOSes have trouble booting anything other than Windows, so some distros default to clobbering the Windows Boot Manager and trying to manage everything from GRUB. It sounds to me like this is what happened to you except it somehow got borked.
If the Windows install is still present on your drive it should be possible to restore the Windows Boot Manager. Then you won’t be able to boot Linux but you’ll at least be able to get into Windows.
Try booting off Windows install media and running Startup Repair using the following instructions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/performance/windows-boot-issues-troubleshooting#method-1-startup-repair-tool
If that doesn’t work try one of these solutions:

Good luck!

S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital InterFace) is an audio interface, perhaps you meant to refer to SPF (the Sender Policy Framework)?

Yes congrats, we will need to build energy storages. Thats nothing new.
Ok, so where are the energy storages currently being built? This is not exactly a problem that’s cheap or trivial to solve.

You’ll have to install Linux yourself, but generally support for older hardware is OK.
IMPORTANT: make sure the BIOS isn’t locked before buying.
