I am limited to information gathered pre-2021.

Neat! Tool batteries are a great choice.

I got a framework 12th gen Intel. I love it. One flaw is their board design with batch 5 and 6 boards can drain the RTC battery dead so you need to jump start it with a dumb USB brick on one side and fast on the other. I just got a RMA board from them no cost and I think it was my fault (plugged something into USBC port that I should not have). The big downside is not everything works perfectly like something from Microsoft when using windows OS. There isn't the army of developers for the hardware and stuff. Idk. I love mine. It is hard to justify buying another laptop when there are upgradable options.

Have you tried Brave? Idk the full story, but it is basically chrome with more privacy stuff and is way faster than normal chrome. Feels just like using chrome but faster.

Neat! I just started using my surface pro 6 because my framework laptop is waiting on RMA parts. Truthfully, I'm surprised at how well surface pro 6 performs. Having a machine from the OS OEM makes a big difference.

In middle school I would send popup notifications to classmates.

The only other I found easily in the play store was Connect for Lemmy. Idk how to collapse comments in it though.

Hello!

I wouldn't recommend this with the sole reason being to get back into gaming. I started taking THC gummies and it is like being a kid again playing video games.

Nice! I was going to do something else tonight, but you reminded me I need to give Diablo 4 a try.

I need to listen to some of these recordings. It seems like something that could be relaxing.
