I dont think it's about housing/shielding, just the lack of being powered on over many years.

Many of my drives are also nearly 20 years old

I've heard usb flash memory can degrade over time, but refreshing the cells by plugging it in once in a while can mitigate the potential data loss.

I have a few USBs like that and i plug them in once a year for about 5 minutes. I don't usually even mount the data. Not sure if it makes an actual difference, but nothing lost so far

Grammatically, I like "DDG for X" rather than "DDG X". It sounds more natural and also more silly to me

It's stupid but so is using "Google" for "search"

I had some friends that used to hit the albuterol after the bowl.

I do not think it had any effect on coughing during the session. Perhaps coughing afterward was reduced, but not noticeably.

Boxes is very clean and functional. I even use it on Plasma. Great app

About 2 years for me. It's a better experience than vanilla Android except that tap to pay doesnt work.

Other than that one downside it's been nothing but an improvement. so much more control over what apps can access, and what Google services to use (if any). Google services are treated like any other app, and can therefore be easily sandboxed.

If you have a compatible device i highly recommend GrapheneOS. I'm pretty unhappy with the build quality and camera on my Pixel (7 Pro), but that was all the same on Android.

I really wish GrapheneOS supported another brand of device. Pixels are way overpriced for how cheaply put together they are, but i'd rather have a meh phone with real security than a nice one with just security theater

It works great with Linux for me, i expect Debian will have no issues

it's derived from the second one

The modern concept of race was invented in 1684 by this guy:

It's been utter bullshit from the start

True, but almost nobody uses Wine by itself when Proton is so much more convenient

A backyard is the perfect place to start building a connection with your ecosystem. Your kids are lucky to have that access, and lucky to have you to show it to them

Wine is still a thing, but most people prefer Proton for gaming.

The easiest way is to install Steam and play your games through that. Non-steam games can be added with "add a non-steam game", and then you can choose to launch them with proton though the settings for the shortcut you created.

I can count on one hand the games that havent worked for me using this method, and it applies to any distro. I've never even considered doing a full VM for a game, i'm not even aware of a game that would work under a VM but not Proton.

Check out ProtonDB to see if your games work, and if any tweaks are required.
