I'd pay extra to have that removed...

WiFi, BT and touchpads have IME always been wonky AF with Linux, and they still are. I had massive issues with my last thinkpad, and was never able to get BT or touchpad working consistently, but my "new" one (it's 6-7 years old) works just fine without a single driver issue whatsoever.
Wish it had an Ethernet option, not sure how that would work on a door though
You'd just run a cable to the door from the hinge side, preferably inside the door through the hinge so it's not visible on the door itself. This is a very common solution for electronic locks in office buildings for example.
I would reall love to have an open source watch, but unfortunately both the pinetime and bangle.js 2 lack severely in the activity tracking, which is the primary reason for me to have a smart watch.
I'm not sure how the screen is on the pinetime, but on the bangle.js 2 it's surprisingly bad. Not a deal breaker by itself, but combined with a sort of limping experience on other parts, it's not a good product (yet).
Any day now...aaaany day...
Well it was probably coined by the "master race", so obviously they called it something positive.
A huge part (maybe the most important one) of academic work, is to argue why your ideas are worth listening to and discuss and present them. This is not the same as writing fiction where you can just use a pseudonym, people will be looking you up to see what kind of educational background you have, which university you got the PhD from etc. No place worth having a PhD from is going to let you use a pseudonym, let alone hire you under a different name than your legal name.
I'm sorry, but if using your real name is a deal breaker for you, even with an employer (I.e. the professor example you're giving), you're very unlikely to succeed with this.
The people who saw the post before the "correction" are not likely to ever see it, and since it's deleted no one else is going to see it and won't benefit from the "correction"...I simply can't see why this causes distress unless you're really just doing it to correct someone and feel superior, and the deletion robbed you of that.
Engaging with obvious trolls is stupid...but getting upset that you don't get to jump on their bait before it's deleted is really stupid and an incredible waste of energy.
Capacitive sensors are looking at capacitance of a material, everything has this not just living things and it certainly doesn't require putting current through the material. You can for example get capacitive sensors for sensing the presence of cardboard, and they're often used for detecting metal parts (obviously tuned to the specific material). This is also why water droplets mess up touch screens (and the biometric sensor), because it's close enough to the capacitance of a finger (we're mostly water after all) to trick it and create false triggers.
Luckily modern cars are generally a lot safer to drive than your old magna. Air bags (not new, just better), crumble zones, automatic emergency braking, lane assist/departure warning etc. have come a really long way in the past 30 years. They're not only less likely to be in major crashes, they're also safer for both people in the car and outside the car (bikes/pedestrians) if it happens.
