Depends on how its sold locally. I can get pints and half-pints of milk at the local gas station, even sold in your choice of white, chocolate, strawberry or a seasonal flavor

Yes it is a different CPU, of almost the exact same age and architecture. I don't have a 5300u otherwise I'd be able to compare directly. I'm pointing to similar processors (remember this was about the time that Intel stagnated. They didn't improve much from Haswell (4th gen) until about Coffee Lake, and kept continuously refreshing Skylake (6th gen) for years. By memory 5th gen was just rebadged Haswell as well) I do have that I have relevant experience with.
On the Minecraft front I don't think it's the processor, I suspect you either have a configuration issue, or a thermal budget limitation. I had a Ryzen laptop that was really good, except it did not have the thermal capacity to maintain a workload, and would throttle itself all the way down to 600Mhz if I was doing something CPU and GPU intensive for a long time (such as running a bunch of VMs and trying to browse the web while using an external monitor)
it took so long to compile a diesel-actix rust project that the battery died before it finished
Wait why are you compiling on battery?
and it can’t even run fucking Minecraft.
In what way? My wife plays minecraft with several hundred mods on a (desktop) i5-4560 and I have 5 Minecraft servers running on a desktop i5-4590, and I've played plenty of Minecraft on my laptop with a i7-6700u (vanilla, lightly modded, heavily modded, etc.) so I'm confused by what you mean by "can't run Minecraft"
4th and 6th gen intel isn't too bad yet (which would be early 2010s), especially for a Linux desktop/laptop. I wouldn't go older than that just because 4th and 6th gen is so readily available for so cheap, but they certainly aren't anywhere near e-waste yet. Mid-2010s would be more like 7th-9th gen Intel which is newer than all but one of the computers in my home.
I literally use a laptop with a mobile i7-6700 as a daily web browsing computer (and I tend to keep over a hundred tabs open) and really don't feel any slowness. I've got a desktop with an i5-4590 running 5 different Minecraft servers (a couple of which have over 300 mods running) plus most of my homelab services as well. They're not for the graveyard yet!
refurbished thinkpads are no longer what they were they are no longer a good deal nor particularly good quality
Off-lease enterprise laptops are generally the best deals available for a good laptop for not too much cash. When you can get something 3-5 years old for 1/3 the price of a brand new laptop and know it still has quite a bit of life left, its hard to beat.
If there's a decent (even online) used market where you live buying a refurbished computer that's just a few years old can be amazing bang for your buck. 9th-11th gen Intel or Ryzen 2-4th gen. Any of the more business focused lines tend to be fairly well-built and are designed to be relatively long lasting while being relatively well-maintained during their service life. HP Elitebooks, Dell Latitudes, Lenovo Thinkpads, etc.
I've been slowly digging through their discography and holy crap
so all rules would have to be applied on the Pi itself
Sounds like you'll want to setup IPTables
I for one welcome our new drag queen overlords
Real talk, is the AI going to write faster? 95% of the time, I'll see my answer in the more traditional results before Bing AI has even typed out a single sentence. If they're going to switch to AI appearing before you can see the traditional results, that'll make it a lot slower to use...
Bing got really good really recently, and since DDG is to a large extent a frontend for Bing presumably it recently got really good
Extra fiber that way!
