Nvidia laptop by the sounds of it?

Anything with an AMD GPU is going to have a better time (or even just a dedicated Nvidia GPU in a desktop).

Having an excess rather than barely enough is pretty important for long term sustainability. But there are smaller projects that need it more for sure (but few quite as important as wikipedia).

Most plans are 1 up even with 100 down

That can't be right. I thought Australia's 100/20 plans had pathetic upload speeds but that's unreal.

I suspect in the long run it will be doable due to advancements in bandwidth, computing power, disk space and compression efficiency but it's probably more than a decade away.

And even then it might be the case that it's only viable to do 1080p while the big guns can do 8k at 120fps.

Republican states have already been chipping away at child labour laws. Not quite the same thing, but abhorrent nevertheless.

You can buy laptops with it installed, is what I meant to say.

almost every home computer you buy is running Windows Home edition

Windows Education is fairly common on laptops (kind of a hybrid between Pro and Enterprise from what I can tell). But even in the case of Pro it would be up to the OEM if you're buying a pre-built. This would mostly only affect people who have gone out of the way to install Pro themselves, and don't know how to bypass it (although maybe some prebuilts have it used as an oversight, or intentional feature).

We're not talking about mount times here, but read/write speeds. They might be slow too, but that's a different issue.

Dealing with Metadata has been such a pain and it rarely works properly lol

Try out beets if you ever want to fix it. It's a pain to setup the first time (make backups for sure) but once you do, it's easy to maintain.

Desktop linux doesn't have any of this. And one day we'll get real linux on phones too (with full featured support).

and partially because the developers are insufferable dickholes.

Is that guy an official developer? It looks like he's just a developer of one of the add-ons, but I haven't deeply researched this. Gross behaviour nevertheless and seems to stem from a misunderstanding of what a FOSS license means.

EDIT: I see what you mean in this thread: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/consider-to-avoid-adding-library-dependencies-from-frenck/315185/33, although that was a couple of years ago so maybe things have cooled off a bit.

There's Leechblock NG for Firefox and Chrome which is an active extension that achieves this.
