You copy pasted 3 possible answers from the font of infinite possible answers. OP could have done the same themselves but chose to ask humans.
Those cost money too
To be fair, LLMs are very good at this sort of associative lookup. But I agree that it doesn’t add much to thr conversation. It’s like the modern equivalent of letmegooglethatforyou
Do you have a source for the CIA backing claim? I can’t find anything substantiated with a quick ddg search.
Four months of prison? It sounds like the man is disconnected from reality but hardly a real threat to society.

Honestly the LCD decks are so cheap, especially with sales, I don’t think you could build a gaming PC for that price.
Call people? For database software??? I’ll install postgres from my private dark corner tyvm
It works in KDE + Wayland… mostly… for applications that support it… and there was this update that ruined my color profile for a while but they fixed that now!
Kinda depends on where you live but there often is an excess of hydro and wind power overnight.
It’ll depend on how efficient your phone charger is vs your PC PSU. Looking at some charts, it’s a very close battle but generally the phone charger seems to win out. Probably because it’s more optimized for its max power output, whereas the PSU needs to support a wider range of loads.

The amount of heat this will add to your case is negligible. We’re talking 15% waste on a 20W load, so 3W worth of extra heat. And that heat is produced in the PSU.

Or just don’t use it
Ah I did some more research and what I said only applies to the older Elgato devices. They did use h264 as the format over usb and you could use that directly without recoding. But they moved to a custom format due to delay and decoding overhead. And ofc you’d want stream ovelays and such which also requires reencoding.
You are correct that the Elgato does video encoding. And that if you use your GPU it’s putting a little bit of extra load on the GPU. But it’s negligible since the video encoding is a separate part of the chip. Maybe you’ll lose a percentage of FPS due to power usage snd bandwidth, but honestly the same is probably true for the CPU load caused by USB bandwidth.
I will always downvote articles with “slams” in the title. It is undoubtedly low effort clickbait. …unless someone actually gets a door slammed in their face.
Revanced still works but it’s a cat and mouse game. Sometimes it will stop working but the next day someone will have found a workaround. Bit of a hassle to patch the new APK each time.
And if said tradesperson doesn’t want their equipment to get wet in the rain they get a van instead.
