Recent versions of Android make it much more difficult for a background app to access the microphone. There will be a notification if any background app is using the mic or camera.

The windows uninstaller is in the Linux ISO.

Sure it can, you just uninstall the entire OS and replace it with Linux.

I would be worried about water getting into the voids in the infill. You would probably have to fiberglass it to make it actually usable.

Streaming sites are the source of the TV torrents until the season is over and the bluray is released.

AV1 is really only practical for content that has a high quality source like a bluray release. Most streaming sites aren't using AV1 yet, so anything from them would have to be transcoded. Transcoding a low bitrate source to another format will cause a loss in quality. It's not really worth it unless you want really small files to watch on your phone.

AV1 hardware acceleration is becoming fairly common, so I wouldn't be surprised if the streaming sites start switching to it soon.

It won't take long for a bunch more sites to pop up to replace the ones that were taken down. The worse the legal streaming sites get, the more pirate sites there will be.

Significantly less than the extremely toxic, hypergolic fueled boosters China drops on their villages.

Most graphics cards have massive air coolers that block other PCIe slots. I want more water cooled options since they are low profile. I just don't want to have to void the warranty on a brand new card to install a water block.

Donate to FOSS developers if you find the software useful, but don't give a cent to big tech companies.

The SD card probably crapped out because someone didn't know how to make it read only.

What's even worse is that Apple is not fully erasing the phones that they refurbish.
