When they were installing the alarm at my house I noticed that the main guy had nextcloud on his phone and it sparked a nice conversation about privacy. He has no technical background but managed to self-host it on his old laptop with one of those distros that have an easy UI for self-hosting (don't remember which one exactly). He's a pretty cool guy.

Imagine using pirated software and allowing it to go online. Loco 🤯
It means it's what we in the trade call "a nothingburger". On Windows you need to explicitly install a malicious driver (which in turn requires to you to disable signature verification), on Linux you'd have to load a malicious kernel module (which requires pasting commands as root, and it would probably be proprietary since it has malware to hide and as every nvidia user knows, proprietary kernel modules break with kernel updates)
It's just bait for investors. This is the kind of crap that gets people with money and zero understanding of computers to buy stocks.
The problem with 5Ghz is that it doesn't go through walls very well compared to 2.4Ghz, resulting in APs having less range (or having to use several times more power)
I don't use MS Office but I think it looks good and slightly easier to read than Calibri.
If you have 2FA enabled they won't be able to get in, but if you change your password and they're still trying, that means that somehow they have your new password, which means you probably have a credential stealer in your PC or one of your devices. I would reinstall windows immediately then change EVERY password.
The electromagnetic field generated by headphones is miniscule and the frequencies are very low, whatever's causing your headache is not a tiny electromagnet. Depending on the type of headphones and the volume used, however, the sound itself could be causing it, especially if you're using some 3D spatial filter, those don't always play well with how our brains and ears work.
Some crackers remove network features from apps but most leave them intact so YES, it will send your data to all of them.
I've also personally seen two people get threatened of legal action after installing a cracked copy of solidworks, the company used the cracked software as a trojan to get identifying information from their computers, so ALWAYS USE A FIREWALL.
As much as I dislike Microsoft, back in 2015 I used Windows Phone 8.1 for about 6 months and I absolutely loved it, the UI was so smooth and polished, even on low end phones, until WP10 came out and it ran like trash and I went back to LineageOS.
I like EDM and electronic music so I just leave the radio on with Tomorrowland One World Radio while I work. I also browse sites like beatport and look at their charts and if I find something I like I check out other people are buying, sometimes I pirate, sometimes I buy if I want to support a small label or a lesser known artist.
The first time I heard about programming being obsolete was when I was taught UML in university. That was over almost 15 years ago and it didn't happen, if anything programmers now also had to know UML, which isn't all that bad but it definitely didn't replace anything, it's just useful for designing and documenting projects.
I also heard from colleagues that in the 80s and 90s people said that SQL was supposed to be used by users directly, making (some) programming obsolete.
Now AI bullshit claims to be making programming obsolete. I won't hold my breath.
