The official problem with Hamilton's jewellery was, in case of fire they are between the fireproof underwear and the skin. Vettel protested against that rule this way, as he doesn't have piercings.

Those are update services. Upgrading your os is a basic security measure nowadays. You recommend to sacrifice some security because of a minor inconvenience. It's alright if you can live with that tradeoff, but please don't recommend it on the internet. Windows assumes a user is not knowledgeable enough about this topic, so it's enabled for them.

Other hint, because it seems you are also not very knowledgeable about this topic, usually you can disable these things with group policies if you really want to, so you don't have to run it after each boot. Or you can also set up a scheduled task or create a service with nssm.

Windows is messing with that. A feature of modern UEFI boot, that OS-s can change boot order. This can be useful, after OS installation you don't have to manually change back boot order from the usb to the internal drive. The problem is usually windows like to reset this to itself...

Arch wiki has an article about this, try to set this options in your BIOS: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface#Windows_changes_boot_order

I guess with the bios update some settings were reset to default, that's why the behavior changed. Maybe reset your bios settings, and try to set up everything again from scratch, some old settings may be still active from the old firmware, etc.

This is a nice website.

For dealing with timezones, I usually use timeanddate.com, because they have a very good meeting planner. You just select the time zones or cities, and it shows graphically when people usually sleep, it's easy to find a common spot: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html

I haven't used any google services for ages (except yt and search occasionally), so I don't follow it's development

Excel is the one I don't hate, all alternatives suck way more. Active Directory is also ok, but you have to click more than in a moba game, it can become annoying.

IIRC I had an fx 6100 than upgraded to 6300 and the last one was 8350 or something like that. It was awfully cheap, and they used the same socket, so I didn't have to replace anything beside the cpu. I did a lot of cpu rendering, ray tracing for uni at that time, in 3ds max and vray, gpu ray tracing was very limited before geforce rtx. They were relatively good in that for the price, ray tracing could use all small cores.

Asking good questions is not easy.

If you ask a question which was already answered thousand of times you should search for the answer, not ask it again. Obviously from your point of view it's a new question, but if someone replies to a lot of threads it can become annoying to see the same thing again and again.

Other common wrong question is when you don't give enough details.

If you experience that your questions are downvoted frequently, please read this old guide "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way". If you ask good questions, there is a bigger chance someone will help you

But they already have a "Nothing OS": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_Phone_1#Software

And they are calling that an "OS":

“If you think about the tech stack for what an OS is, I don’t think we need to work on the lower parts of the stack — drivers and how hardware connects to software and the kernel,” Pei added. “I don’t think we need to work on that, but we should work on innovating the user experience, because operating systems haven’t really changed for 40 years.

Yeah, they speaking about another freaking skin...

The problem is not building a new operating system, but app support. We have and used to have a lot alternatives, but because mainstream apps are missing no one wants to use them. They don't have enough users, so developers won't develop for them, egg-chicken problem. Everyone tried to solve this by android compatibility layer, but android apps will always run better on android...

I use microG since years at this point, and while most things are working, I always find some quirks, and some random apps not behaving as they should. I'm fine with that, but a non-tech guy would freak out from that. And it's not even a completely different os, only an alternative implementation of GMS aka Play Services.

See previous and current examples, all of them was/is a good or at least usable as an os, but if you can't use your bank's app or whatever app you need in your daily life, you won't switch to it. Even M$ couldn't solve this problem, why Mr. Pei could solve it.

Edit: Obviously in the article they don't speak about an actual OS, but one more Android skin... So Mr. Pei is not planning to solve this, they are just redefining the meaning of words, Android skins are called "OS"s in entrepreneur speak nowadays.

I'm a happy user of input-remapper (AUR). I use it to replace PageUp/PageDown with Home/End keys on my Laptop. How does your tool compared to that?

Feedback: Can you add an example systemd service? Or it would be even better if the PKGBUILD would install it, I've seen a lot of software which adds a disabled service, so you just have to enable and start it.
