Exactly, the same way I handle all my credentials.

Take a look at motorcycles. They tend to be far behind the curve technology wise, and only Zerocycles have a telemetry system afaik.
I prefer Oregon Trail generation.
Even if you don’t have anything material to leave behind, there are still a few questions that it’s good to have the answers written down for, mostly advanced directives. You can find free AD forms if you live in the US at https://www.aarp.org/caregiving/financial-legal/free-printable-advance-directives/ and most other countries have a similar system.
Nope. They do require some form of 2FA, but that can be any of: phone number, security key, authentication app, or a secure device. They also support one time use backup codes that you print out and keep secure. Personally, I use security keys for day to day and keep the printed out backup codes with my will.
I know that’s supposed to be a jokey edgy comment but advanced planning is really important for those you leave behind. They will absolutely appreciate it if you have done the basics of estate planning (will, advance directives, digital account planning) so that it’s not one more burden during one of their most difficult time in life.
In my filing cabinet that contains my will and other emergency documents I have a printout of the emergency backup codes for my password manager and my google account. That should be enough for my heirs to get whatever they need and want.
Oh, nothing about it sounds unrealistic, just kinda pointless. There absolutely are rugged laptops and gaming laptops and probably even some combination of the two out there somewhere. But they both tend to be quite expensive and nothing you mentioned seemed to indicate the need for portability. So, why a laptop and not a desktop? You’ll get a lot more bang for your buck and can have the exact keyboard, cooling system and whatever else you want, plus a much more repairable system.
With those requirements why bother with a laptop? Just build yourself a desktop and setup up ssh and/or Remote Desktop if you really need access on the go.
I’ve only worked on a few embedded systems where C++ was even an option, but they allowed 2, 4, 5, and 7. Though, for the most part most classes were simple interfaces to some sort of SPI/I2C/CAN/EtherCAT device, most of which were singletons.
Take a look at what even the proposer is saying wouldn’t be allowed in:
(1) new and delete. There's no way to pass GFP_* flags in.
(2) Constructors and destructors. Nests of implicit code makes the code less
obvious, and the replacement of static initialisation with constructor
calls would make the code size larger.
(3) Exceptions and RTTI. RTTI would bulk the kernel up too much and
exception handling is limited without it, and since destructors are not
allowed, you still have to manually clean up after an error.
(4) Operator overloading (except in special cases).
(5) Function overloading (except in special inline cases).
(6) STL (though some type trait bits are needed to replace __builtins that
don't exist in g++).
(7) 'class', 'private', 'namespace'.
(8) 'virtual'. Don't want virtual base classes, though virtual function
tables might make operations tables more efficient.
C++ without class
, constructors, destructors, most overloading and the STL? Wow.
According to the github analysis, the kernel repository is:
So yeah, its basically all C, plus a tiny bit of assembly for very low level bootstrapping and some helper scripts.
There is no C++ allowed in the Linux kernel and Linus has gone on several major rants about how terrible a language it is.
There are lots of options, use a CD changer, burn a mix CD, listen to the radio, run a pirate radio station. I’m not saying that physical media is always better in every situation, but neither is streaming. I like having the option depending on the situation.
I love physical media because it’s just much easier to use. If I want to play some album in my car I put the cd in and press play. No fumbling around with search or menus, just put a disc in a slot and done. If I want a friend to listen, read or watch something I hand them a small object and they have it. No need to text them the title so they can search for it later and then forget it.
Civilization 4 is cozy gaming.
Medicine. The house brands and generics are the exact same, tested the same, made the same.

Dating apps are deeply, deeply enshitified because the economic incentive for them is the exact opposite of what monogamous users want. Specifically, the apps want you to keep subscribing, plus buy the super platinum plus extra added packs, but never really find someone and date them, because then you stop paying. Old school pre-sellout OKCupid had a great analysis of this in their blog, which was taken down the day they sold out.
This is why the few sites/apps that cater to non-monogamous or event based communities are still reasonably decent, e.g FetLife, Bloom and Feeld, though Feeld is partially down the enshitification pathway.
I'd be really interested in seeing what a fediverse dating app would be like, something that didn't have the financial incentive to enshitify, and maybe had a match/search system like old-school OKC.
EDIT: missing word.
This seems both awesome and dangerous. The two analogies that come to mind are home canning and home brewing. They’re both generally safe and easy. But every so often someone gives their family botulism.
