    As someone who has owned a mobile phone of some sort since about 1998, I can tell you that I never once swapped out a battery on one. Only reason I ever had to remove the battery was to reach the SIM card slot.

    This is obviously anecdotal so take it as that.

    Same. Only Nvidia card I ever owned was a 9800GTX. Excellent card but it died after I gave it to a friend. He managed to revive it for a while by baking it.

    So it’s not Debian based, but I’ve been using CachyOS for the last few months and I really like it. It’s an Arch based distribution that comes with a nice installer and by default uses the KDE Plasma desktop. I think Plasma is one of the best options for anybody migrating from Windows. You should feel right at home.

    It's bonkers to me that a 2.5L engine is considered "tiny" in the US. My first car (a Peugeot 205GL in the UK) had a 1.1L engine that produced 54 HP.

    Is it just me or is it huge compared to the Grumman? Did it need to be that big? Has mail volume increased that much?
