I'm not sure why the article doesn't mention this anywhere, but the legislation is concerning Australia, which currently has zero fuel efficiency standards.

Because of the lack of a standard, Australia is currently a dumping ground for inefficient trash that other countries won't take, and ICE car companies don't want to lose that. Electric vehicle makers prefer the regulation because it puts them on a more equal footing.

Yes, many of these ICE companies are transitioning away from fossil fuels, but they are being dragged kicking and screaming, and any delay in legislation means they can continue to profit from these outdated cars a bit longer while they catch up on electric cars. Pretty much the same type of delay tactics that the fossil fuel industry is pushing across the board.

Oh and I can’t get windows subsystem for Linux to work in my windows VM on my Linux machine.

You need nested virtualization since it's a VM within a VM. It's supported by KVM/libvirt but may need additional config. I believe virtualbox now supports it too, but that it's a bit undercooked.

or running multiple monitors with different high refresh rates and freesync simultaneously are still rocky.

Not really an issue anymore with most Wayland compositors (KDE and wlroots, soon to be fixed with Gnome). That's mainly an X11 specific problem.

Maybe just buy a monitor, particularly if you only need streaming.

Yeah it's fine, especially with recent codecs like AV1 and you'd expect future codecs to improve further.

Try jellyfin-mpv-shim. It directly uses mpv (either a built in version or even your system mpv) and if it doesn't play well there, it's likely not going to play well anywhere.

Just to add to the other comments, you probably want to use a wildcard cert so you don't need to individually certify each subdomain (or expose them at all).

At the same time, I hate Apple the least of big tech, since they actually do give a crap about building good products and have done quite a bit of that.

That's an incredibly low bar. There are exceptions of course but I'd argue there really is no need to use "big tech" software much of the time. Smartphones are probably the most challenging, but desktops and laptops? Easy to avoid.

They might mean it's happening even with requests routed through the VPN.

~~Look at mini-PCs like the Lenovo Tiny series. These can be had for very little on the used market, and don't use much power (<10W typically, although I don't have any mechanical HDDs in mine).~~

EDIT: Obviously missed that you meant just a single device for everything. SFF PCs usually have a few SATA slots, and their power usage and price on the used market isn't too bad.
