Lots of people that aren't me are going to make the choice to purchase Apple hardware. Some of that hardware will eventually be sold, donated or gifted with many years of use left. Thanks to projects like Ashai, recipients of the second hand hardware can spend those years on Linux instead on Apple software.

I would much rather the original purchasers buy open hardware but until that becomes their priority there will continue to be an endless stream of proprietary hardware ending up in the hands of people who had no input on the purchase decision.

Samsung OneUI collects telemetry which they use for ad targeting and sharing with third parties along with other uses. They've also had multiple leaks in their software adjacent to OneUi.

Lead, opioids, and pfas come to mind.

The established date doesn't mean much if you've laid off the employees that helped created your big titles.

I'm interested in the answer to this as well. I navigate exclusively with comaps but I still have to keep google maps to discover restaurants, hotels and attractions.

You may like an outdoor festival instead. You can get as close to or far from the stage as you like and you usually can bring your own seating. They last all day and can have multiple stages with food and vendors in between so if you get tired or overwhelmed you've got somewhere to go recover. You get exposed to a lot of bands in a short amount of time so you can get an idea of the different ways they perform and may discover music you enjoy.

Some 2 or 3 day festivals offer camping on-site and keep the music going from 12PM to 2AM. Being surrounded by music like that for days in a row lets it start to feel like a normal thing instead of the condensed experience of a concert.

They were trying to dismiss your comment with an appeal to ridicule. Basically saying it was immature or naive instead of actually engaging with the topic.

Comments like that can be dismissed with as little effort as the author used to create them.

I've already decided to move away from Bitwarden for these reasons but I'm still looking for what comes next.

Do you think you may be using USB sticks with a small SLC cache? If this is the case I would expect the transfer to be fast until the cache fills up then it would slow down to the speed of the rest of the NAND for remainder of the transfer. You wouldn't experience the slow down unless you were transferring files larger than the cache. This could explain why the issue has followed you across so many computers.

More affordable USB sticks may have cache sizes of 1 - 2 GB. I've seen high performance models available with 64GB caches.

If this is the cause of your issue, using a USB stick with a faster cache would be a solution.

I would be so excited for this if I was still willing to support Nintendo

I think it's pointing out that people will ask still themselves, "What was I waiting for?" even when there were valid reasons to wait. It reminds me of internalization or self-blame.
