I hear ya, looking back I think went thru a similar thing in my 20s so I can understand that feeling.
It must be hard to dig out of if you're surrounded by a bunch of people who are buying in or supporting that behavior

So cute of them to pretend that they give a fuck about kids or anyone outside their ridiculous worldview.
Yea. I'm diligent about the phone staying in my own pocket while I'm driving. I forget I can't always give others the benefit of the doubt.
That's fair. I can understand your view.
My biggest gripe is the "safety" features that just enable bad driving. Too lazy to shoulder check? don't worry, blinky light on the mirror has you. Don't bother looking back when backing out? camera has you. veering off the road a bit cause you're not paying attention? lane keep assist!
Any one of these things can fail and the shit driving habits are all some of these people have to fall back on.
Let's go back to roll up windows, standard transmissions, and using your eyes to see where things are.
I didn't think of the always online games.
Sounds like we just need to start a federated network of classic games sharing. Can't sue a protocol, right?
( I know nothing of how any of that would work)
Ugh. I barely want to live my whole life on this planet with the ways it is going.. let alone reverse back into my 20s with no actual "new game+"
AMD 5600g CPU and 5700xt gpu. No issues here.
I was running into this a lot when I had gnome tweaks installed. After removing it all my problems with slowdowns "after x amount of uptime" went away.
It was to the point where moving my mouse would freeze videos and dragging windows around was like a slideshow
Audio Technica m50x with Bluetooth. I bought them for tracking when recording guitar or just jamming music. They have a flat response so it doesn't add lows or highs or scoop mids. The Bluetooth option works great with pop os and is easy to switch between headphones mode (stereo audio) or headset (mono sound +mic) mode. Never worked on win10 for some reason.
I started getting mini PCs when raspberry pi prices were peaking. My favorite mini PC I have was a bit expensive at around $200 CAD at the time. Its an hp elitedesk 705 g4 with a Ryzen 5 pro 2400g. Runs just about any server I need and does great for audio recording in Windows.
I also snagged a lenovo mini thinkcentre for about $100 CAD. It's a bit older with a 4th gen i5 ( I think) and 8gb of ddr3. It sits in the data closet for contract work that I do and has all my work stuff, office 365, Visio, affinity designer, cloud connections.
I use a remote connection with my main PC ( running pop!_os Linux) to connect to either of the two instead of buying extra monitors or any peripherals. At the very least, It's been a fun experiment.
