If you are within visual sight of the mainland, you can use a pair of point-to-point communication dishes to get internet from the mainland and beam it to yourself. These dishes, only having to communicate over a few miles and with direct line-of-sight, are pretty reliable and not terribly expensive.

looks at Cragslist

I see hundreds of cars in my area with a 4-digit price tag. I'm not sure where their info comes from, but used cars under $10,000 (hell, they say under $20,000) most certainly have not "almost vanished from the market."

"Gaming Distro" just means some various gaming softwares are preinstalled, like Steam and Heroic (for GOG, Amazon, and Epic games). I mention this just to keep you from overly worrying about picking the "wrong" distro.

• Bazzite is basically SteamOS.
• Mint Cinnamon was my choice as it feels very familiar to a Windows user, and comes with a bunch of desktop productivity stuff pre-installed. It tends to remain on more time-tested, stable versions of software.
• Fedora Plasma is also very popular, and will feel familiar coming from Windows. It tends to have the latest and greatest version of softwares.

and maybe a guide on removing windows entirely once its all said and done

If you plan to switch over all at once, during the install, tell Linux to use the entire drive (ie, do a full format). That will completely remove Windows during the install.

If you are going to dual boot, you can format the Windows drive at some later time.

do’s and dont’s

If you are going to dual boot, don't dual boot on a single drive. Windows likes to fuck with other things on the same drive as it, including other Windows installs.

If you get a prompt about codecs during the Linux install, install them.

Any sat internet that does not use low earth satellites is a giant pain. Pings measured in seconds, very low bandwidth, and very low data caps.

Pick basically anything else if you have the option.

It's fine, no reason to sell the data, the service was literally just breached!

It would seem so.

The Treasury has run this program for years, and people have donated $67.3 million since 1996

It seems to be tax deductible, yeah.

You don't need a gaming specific distro. Those just mean some apps are pre-intalled, like Steam and Heroic (for GOG, Epic, Amazon games). If you like Fedora, keep using Fedora, it games just as well as any other distro.

Nice!

If someone is going the wrong way down a one-way, you really want to know about them.

Nice hits!

the Pentagon has told Switzerland it will delay a previously agreed-upon delivery

Yeah, ASUS is in an awful state. Their Armory Crate malware* really just takes the cake on the whole thing.

*It literally survives through a full format and will run and create popups on your computer without any human interaction if you buy an ASUS motherboard. It's malware.

China's birthrate is 1.15 children per woman. Replacement birthrate is 2.1 children per woman.

If each woman is having less than 2.1 children, the population falls.

Heavily underutilized for now.

China has a birthrate of 1.15 children per woman. When is this later time you allude to when there will be more people to utilize the heavily underutilized network?

China has quite a number of trains already. Arguably they overbuilt their train network as much of it is heavily underutilized.

Better than VII!
