You can scrub shorts on mobile (might have to pause it first), but not desktop for some reason...

I feel out of the loop, what's Slackware?

To be fair, you should always think twice about devices like that. At the very least, put them on their own VLAN, or at least have Pi-Hole running

BlendOS Will let you install virtually any package format through containerization, but it shows up just as if it was a native app. It's pretty neat to see and I hope more distros adopt this

I would also suggest looking into GrapheneOS if you're looking for something new. I've been running it for 6 months on my pixel 6, and I have really enjoyed it. Apps just work, you can still use Google Play services in a sandbox, it's smooth and gets good battery life. The only downside that I have run across is the lack of Android auto support, but everything else just works

Godot is going to see a massive migration, I can already feel it. No huge company behind it, waiting to do a rugpull.

The Pro is faster from what I understand, it seems to support 3.0 or 3.1(?)

Admittedly, NixOS fixes this with a single config file that can rebuild your system in minutes, then the built-in backup tool can restore your files. So yes, absolutely. That being said, that's limited to a few declarative distros

Same as previous models, it's an antenna gap (for mmWave I believe)

They are slower, produce more heat, and waste more energy. Not to mention the fact that you're actually more constrained on where you put the phone, you can't pick it up to use it while it continues charging. Wireless charging is worse than almost every way, save for the magsafe mounting system they developed. I'll give them credit, that's pretty handy, but in general I don't understand this push for wireless charging

I'm lucky - I'm in a Midwest town as well (between 1500 to 3000 people) in the US. A couple of years ago, fiber got installed. I'm getting about 900Mbps down and 99 up, no data cap, for $84/month. Before that I also had Mediacom, and the data cap was infuriating. So glad I could switch!

I agree. If you want super fast storage, totally fine! Just don't remove the option to expand later.
