You could take it a step further and set a temporary network name & password for the hotspot, and then change it back afterwards
that way you can use your hotspot near your TV in the future without worry

Well this is duck duck go, I don't think that is personalized?
I believe the issue is that both settings change at the same time, so either the mouse feels backwards or the trackpad does.
There were some third party tools to change that
See if you can find guides for "Wi-Fi card replacement" for the model that you are looking into. For guides, try https://www.ifixit.com/
If it is a simple matter of unplugging a card (like the image above), it should be easy enough to undo if something goes wrong. Then instead of replacing the Wi-Fi card, just leave it out.

So what's our timeline here?
Not long! It will probably happen in our lifetimes. We just need to figure out... how to make it work
Finding the setting:
- tap profile to open the sidebar and use the gear there (the one on the homescreen is only for notification settings)
- data privacy
- data for generative improvement
Part of it is also because you will notice the people you recognize, but scroll past the people that you don't.
Having to check over usernames from the moderation side, I notice a lot more variety than I'd think about otherwise
There is nothing inherent in knockoff that says it doesn't work. That would be a fake.
While I can find definitions that call it "an inferior copy" (link), that's not the point. Common usage has made it so that people will assume things about the quality or efficacy of the medication when certain words are used. Even if a word is technically correct, perceptions about the word can make it a bad choice.
Often when patents expire and other options emerge, they are called "generics" or "store brand" versions. Those terms don't carry the negative associations.
The original comment you replied to said
Yeah, they aren't "knock-offs" or "imitations." That is some bad reporting.
They used quotes to point out that those words usually imply an inferior quality, something which doesn't do what it says that it does, something that is produced without permission, etc.
While the drugs may still be copies, word choice can affect how people perceive the quality / efficacy of them.

A few points brought up in the comments
- The shortage isn't necessarily over, and an obvious downside is drug prices / abuse from the manufacturer
- This mostly affects larger pharmacies that can do compounding (ex. CVS, Walmart) since smaller independent pharmacies usually don't have the means to do it. However, the specifics will vary depending on where you are.
- A more reasonable concern is that the compounded drugs don't go through the same quality control. So while they should act the same and be safe, it's possible that some pharmacy company (see above) is cutting corners for profit.
My thoughts:
- the US has a drug price problem
- it's possible to get safe and quality controlled pharmaceuticals without restricting it to one company, especially if that company can't handle the demand

Educational apps for children: What parents and educators should look for and ignore
(theconversation.com)
The article doesn't make any recommendations, but rather what to look for /avoid.
Who the authors are:
Emma Liptrot; PhD student, Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology, McGill University
Adam Kenneth Dubé; Associate Professor of Learning Sciences, Faculty of Education, McGill University
Relevant sections:
What to ignore
- User ratings & reviews:
Popular EduApps in Apple’s and Google’s app stores typically have very positive ratings (above four stars). Yet, experts still raise concerns about their quality and expert-approved apps do not necessarily receive the highest star ratings. Written reviews are rarely more informative. Research shows most reviews simply praise apps rather than explaining specific features. [...]
- Apple or Google rankings
Educators and parents may visit an app store’s “top charts” lists to find EduApps. Yet, how Apple’s and Google’s algorithms determine which apps “top the charts” is unclear. [...]
- Recommendations from app review websites
Educators and parents might look to external app review websites like Common Sense Media for recommendations. But research shows many of the apps recommended by these websites still need substantial improvement [...]
What to look for
- Curriculum: What apps teach
At the bare minimum, EduApps must include content that is covered in an established learning program. Yet, many EduApps are what researchers call “educational misfits” because they are only weakly related to education, if at all. Look for apps that clearly state which curriculum their content is based on (for example, a particular provincial curriculum, a supplemental curriculum for learning an Indigenous language) or detail the content (suitable for grades 1–3 math). Don’t bother with an app that doesn’t tell you what it covers.
- Learning theory: How apps teach
[...] Look for apps that describe how they teach. Choose ones using approaches that align with your needs.
- Scaffolding: How apps support learning
EduApps should include supports that help children build their understanding and accomplish learning goals. These supports (called scaffolding) can include hints or instructions when children get stuck and breaking down complex tasks into smaller chunks or adapting difficulty to match children’s abilities. [...]
- Feedback: How apps correct learning
If we want children to learn from their mistakes, feedback is essential. Look for apps that give children informative feedback so they know where they went wrong and why.
- Educational expertise: Who made the app
Many app developers are not education experts, and their priorities may not align with those of educators and parents. [...]
