Comment on Google is killing Retro Dodo and other independent sites in ~tech

Also, and maybe I'm wrong, but the articles read like undeclared sponsored posts.
I looked up Morrowind, and found this article for best magic games of all time: https://retrododo.com/best-magic-games/
The very first result is: Spellbreak
The Vowkeepers have taken all the magic in the world, and it’s up to you to take back what is rightfully yours.
Using your gauntlets, you must become the battlemage you were born to be, chasing a class from Frostborn to Pyromancer and harnessing the elements to bring about your will.
Unleash your inner battlemage in Spellbreak.
I've never heard of Spellbreak, it has mixed reviews, and it's cancelled. It also reads like an advertisement.
Basically, was there really a need for another Top 10 ___ website? And why would I choose this website over a subreddit for retro gaming if I wanted a top 10 list of games?
I don't think Google is to blame here (as a proud Kagi user).

Comment on Help: iPhone SE (2020) home button not working; “Unable to Activate Touch ID” in ~tech

I did some googling and can't find any reports of someone fixing it.
You cannot replace it yourself to remove the warning as the Touch ID is paired with the motherboard when built. If it's not working at all, and you just want it to work as a button, you can technically replace it with a universal Touch ID, but it'll continue to pop up the warning that it cannot activate Touch ID. Here's the guide for this: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+SE+2020+Home-Touch+ID+Sensor+Replacement/133868 and there is a comment from someone else in the same situation as you.

Comment on How to learn chess as an adult (or, how I went from 300 to 1500 ELO in nine months) in ~games.tabletop
password1 LinkI play chess every day, but I've lost almost all interest in playing longer time formats. I only play bullet 1/0 games, and shuffle between a few fun openings.

My rating will bounce between 800 and 1100 month to month which is a huge swing. I really should get back into learning and playing longer time formats, but bullet is just so much fun, even though there's no actual improvement in actual chess ability from playing it.

It's a bit odd that you're getting an IPv6 address for DDG on the ping command, in my opinion. I assume something somewhere is not working on your setup with that.
You could try disabling IPv6 on your router.
