I’ve a number of 1GB + 2GB models. Admittedly none in the last 3 years but some are 8+ years going strong. I know of some others with no issues but maybe I’ve been lucky

Do you want reliable, or do you want cheap? You must choose 1 from that list.
If you’re not planning on putting anything critical on it and you’re doing backups, and you don’t mind being without its use for however long it would take you to replace it if it dies, pick anything.
I’ve never had an SSD die on me Yet but I don’t buy cheap brands though I don’t buy top of the range and I usually buy at a good deal. Crucial MX has been reasonably priced in the past.
Get thicker skin. You’ve no problem criticizing windows, so have some humility and realise Linux is not perfect. And it’s a joke. Learn to laugh at yourself
Driving fast can be enjoyable, ask a professional or even an amateur racer, but that’s not what I’m saying. A legally mandated limiter is going to cost drivers money to have it installed on cars that don’t have it. Governments aren’t going to pay to have it retro installed. Or if they did, there are better things to prioritize first. It’s also going to cause an increase in the price of new cars as well (because any reason to jack the price) though I suspect retro fitting is more expensive.
People doing 90 in a 30 or drag racing down a street, rollin coal, etc etc - totally disagree with that sort of thing, I just don’t think punishing everyone else is the way to stop that issue. A fair and just legal/justice system that isn’t hobbled by bullshit partisan politics and lobbying would do wonders.
Yeah let’s fuck it up for everyone because it would amuse you. I wonder why we can’t have nice things? 🤔

Not sure what your coding level is but you could interact with and scrape the sites with python. I’m sure other languages have similar frameworks.
Even if you aren’t very familiar and don’t know any pythons, it’s a good one to learn and though it could take a while to learn enough to do what you want, you would be more motivated to figure things out and it would save you a lot of time (and money) in the long term.

I wouldn’t view India as a world leader in any field but may be ignorant of some specialities? I know there is innovation but nothing major springs to mind. I’m being lazy though - that can likely be looked up and verified with stats.
Technology wise, it appears to depend on western countries outsourcing work, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but isn’t a good thing either since the draw to using India isn’t skill but cost. If the cost goes up, the west will stop outsourcing there and go to some other low cost base. (I’m not saying Indians aren’t skilled, just that’s not the primary reason why outsourcing there is happening, it’s all about exploitation from the west in search of more profit).
Politically it seems to have been a dumpster fire for some time and looks like it’s trending towards more national extremism. Though that doesn’t seem to be unique at all - feels like the world is shifting to more fascist tendencies.
The caste system is especially cruel and I regularly read stories that it’s going strong with no signs of stopping. I find that morally repugnant.
The amount of scams against innocent people that originate from India is shocking, and it really appears as though corruption is so high that it’s not going to get better any time soon.
Professionally, I deal with Indians semi regularly and it’s overall positive. Personally, I’ve come across a few assholes but the majority have been decent people and none of the issues above ever come up.
You used that term, and frankly I recoil a bit a this term because of the implication that it’s not a deficiency of the software but that it’s the users who are wrong.
I wouldn’t say FF is deficient in this case - not being designed for your exact use case doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with it.
As for opening 500+ tabs to buy a thing.
You do know that sellers now use algorithmic pricing and often there will be hundreds of sellers for the same thing.
Plus the price will be obfuscated with various artifices that all have to be overcome to find the best seller with the best price.
Defeating all of that means openning a shit-ton of tabs.
I usually only buy things if I agree with the price it’s being sold at. If I don’t I will look elsewhere but ultimately I value my time more than money. Extra money can be earned, time cannot 🤷♂️ If you have to drive 100 miles to a fuel station to save 2 cent per gallon, are you actually saving money?
Here’s an example of the process I’ve designed for aliexpress
https://github.com/igorlogius/gather-from-tabs/discussions/8
So it’s a script generating all the tabs?
The solution to write your own application that does what you want because your workflow is not a use case that browsers are designed for. It’s not bad to wish for features but your workflow is never going to be catered for in a browser and it’s both unreasonable and unrealistic to expect otherwise - hence you need to do it yourself.
If you can’t or don’t know how to do that yourself, I suggest you listen to the advice everyone else is giving you. Organisation does require ongoing work and given your comments it will likely require a lot of upfront effort to change your browser hygiene habits but once you are more organised it becomes a lot easier and a lot less work to stay on top of things.
It’s none of my business but I wonder why you feel it’s so important to open 500+ tabs just to buy something small online. Doing research and being informed is good but it seems disproportionate and perhaps talking to a professional might help you with that.
Yeah, even more than 10 years really - maybe OP was in a coma 😅 or just didn’t notice until someone made a comment and then couldn’t stop seeing them. Kind of like when you a buy a certain car you suddenly start seeing them everywhere because you’re more familiar.
No clear answer for sir and ma’am honorifics
I feel there is no need for them so just dropping them is the best solution - anyone who expects them or is insulted by not using them is an entitled ass.
Yeah, somewhat, because I’m not some entitled ass when thinks I’m better than you, I’m not a military officer in charge of you, and I’m not so old that you need to be deferential because I come from another time and expect it.
Fwiw, nothing to do with gender but I hate being addressed as sir/ma’am, especially by people I don’t know. It’s unnecessarily formal and I know most people think it’s a respectfl thing but to me it’s somewhat insulting and makes me uncomfortable. Thank you is plenty.
It is extremely irritating - admittedly I used to do the same many moons ago but then I grew up.
I think with experience/perspective people can see that windows is needed. There’s just no way all the computer illiterate people (most people) will be able for Linux, not unless it’s simplified to be exactly like windows… (I don’t want to hear about how your 120 year old grandma learned arch at 100 having never touched a computer before and now teaches software dev - exceptions prove the rule)
I also grow tired of every year hearing it’s going to be the year of Linux desktop.
There should be a sub or something for people to link up 6 people so they can all save monies
That’s exactly what they don’t want though. I wouldn’t say they’ll never offer that but if they did it would be short term until they have enough marker share and the they’ll do what Netflix did. Google (or insert prettyuch any company here) doesn’t want you to save money, they want as much of it as they can get.

This doesn’t demonstrate any familiarity with 1st amendment of the US Constitution.
Again, it doesn’t mean what you think it means, and would not be of any use applied in the manner you suggested.
Don’t have much personal experience with BX but they’re probably fine. But once you have backups of anything you care about the worst that can happen is you need to restore those backups. If its running a service you can’t do without then maybe a backup pi?
I have RPis running on SD cards for years with no issues so realistically you probably won’t have any either but better to be prepared than not. And it also means that if you mess something up you can restore it to when it worked.
