An email client gives you a backup, if/when your email server cuts you off.

If you've no valuable emails, then webmail works just fine.

Thunderbird & Betterbird also offer useful plugins, such as DKIM validation & calendar reminders.

Lithium batteries should stay between 20% & 80% charge to maximize recharge cycles.

It's not clear, if the protective mechanism ensures this. The author did not have the patience to count the limit of recharge cycles. Neither do I :)

The downside of this flat voltage performance is that devices cannot inform you that batteries are low. Not clear, if amperage performance is also flat.

Note that NiMH also optimize at 20-80% capacity. However this depends on whether you seek frequent use or long-term storage.

Any email with a variation of "noreply" goes into my noreply folder, marked as not important. Unless I was expecting such email, I look at it when I'm not busy.

Anyone who doesn't want to hear from you also has nothing to say to you.

I got a similar email in my spam folder from questionprof03184.com broadcast to a googlemail.com email address. I use a DKIM validation plugin for my email. Valid DKIM does not mean it's not spam. Invalid DKIM, like this email is a sign. Check if your email client has a DKIM | DMARC | SPF plugin. Also check its settings.

I'm trying to understand emails bouncing "back" to me, that I did not send. They are usually sent to a misspelling of the first segment of my email address.

Microsoft has gotten better, except for your privacy.

For devs & admins, running a web or email server is harder. Same with Gnu tools.

WSL2 is an improvement. If you can get Docker started, then its good. Else, not at all.

ARM support is lagging. Infrastructure as Code, also not great.

One issue is taking your USB-A drive to Staples or Kinkos (self-service printers). These require a FAT formatted partition (not even proprietary EX-FAT). This is essentially limited to 32G.

Be sure to scan your usb drive for viruses!
