Aside from negative nature consequences caused by humans, they also eat themselves…so yea…sad.

My only concern to these machines is that if theyre running an intel chip, its most likely to have intel ME which is a QOL stuff but a potential backdoor. Luckily, these cheap mini pcs has most of the time, an unlocked bios, so it is easier to pull the bios bin, patch it with intel ME removal and then reflash the patched bios.

I find the US branded ones (HP, DELL, etc.) more pain in the ass to patch the bios because most of them has locked bios. Doable but a pain in the ass for sure.

Both looks inbred, but not too inbred to have genomic erosion

Im really glad that most distros nowadays are somewhat user friendly

I agree with what you’ve said about enforcement and also as an ex smoker 🤝

However, I don’t agree with total ban of stinkies and vapes, etc(as much as i also would like to) because it will cause a fuck ton of new problems, just look at US alcohol prohibition during 1920s and wow, that was wild (feel free to watch oversimplified video about it, i find it as a good reference material)
