Cars aren't being eliminated completely, but we can significantly reduce their usage if we look to your home city as an example. In Copenhagen, only 44% of commutes are made by car. In the Bay Area, probably the least car-centric area of California, 85% of commutes are by car (I removed the 33% WFH, so 58/67=85%).

Isn't the whole point of BitLocker protection from direct access? When a computer is turned off, encryption should keep the data safe. Also when a computer is turned off, basically no remote vector is going to work. AFAIK, when the computer is on, the drive is mounted and BitLocker provides no additional protection over an unencrypted drive.
What about Ubuntu derivatives for desktop? My go to recommendations are Pop! OS and Linux Mint (which I use).
Yup, the Climate Action Incentive is a Pigouvian tax, so the government estimates the revenues, divides that up to comes up with a number for each resident, and we receive it back in quarterly payments.
If a currency is agreed upon being valid by multiple parties, I'd argue it is "real money".
That right there. The vast, vast majority of people don't think it's valid, therefore it's not real money.
Sales suggest, "Yes."
@davidpierce@mastodon.social has been pretty bullish on the fediverse for quite a while now. It's come up a few times on the vergecast over the last year or so. I'm not surprised he wrote this decent explainer!
If they're getting a used desktop (unless it's really old), it probably already has an Intel CPU with a decent enough integrated GPU to do transcoding without the GPU. Not only will that save OP money on their setup, but also on their power bill.
Per Jellyfin's hardware guide, that's only for recent AMD CPUs. If we're looking at budget options (as OP seems to be heading), then we can go with older, used Intel CPUs.
Jellyfin server itself isn't all that intensive. My "server" is running on a 13y/o low-end desktop CPU (Pentium E5800, in case you're curious). However, if you noticed your laptop struggling, as others have pointed out, that's probably when it was transcoding. While I want eventually update my server with transcoding hardware, I just disabled transcoding completely for now, and it's pretty workable.
Interesting, I've never had any issues. Have you had better luck with other distros? What WiFi card(s)?
A little column A, a little column B. Mostly, we can have gentle changes to our cities, like removing Single-Family Home and other exclusionary zoning, removing mandatory parking minimums, as well other initiatives to encourage higher density, mixed-use buildings, and active transportation usage.
