Mica cover does not stop radiation whatsoever. It stops boiling grease from your overheated sausage from drizzling onto the electronics.

It’s still a bad idea to use a microwave without a mica cover, it’s gonna stink with burning grease after a few uses.

Most microwaves do not have waveguide nowadays, the magnetron sits right behind the mica cover.

Not standing on my palm exactly, but the plug is definitely pushing into it.

And forget about playing games in landscape orientation, the USB cable is totally in the way, while it’s manageable with headphone cable.

True.

Ｂｕｔ！

USB port is invariably at the center of the bottom side, there’s no industry standard but it’s a popular convention. Which means it’s inconvenient to hold a charging phone with either right or left hand.

Headphone jack is near the corner of the phone, top or bottom, it’s convenient to hold with one hand - left or right depends on the manufacturer, but many opt for the jack to the left for right-handed users.

3.5 mm headphone jack is much 𝕞𝕦𝕔𝕙 𝖒𝖚𝖈𝖍 more robust than USB-C port. You can slingshot your phone by the headphone cable, and both the phone and the cable will be fine.

USB-C socket gets slightly bent and you cannot charge your phone.

It’s also at the bottom of the phone, so you cannot hold it normally, while the headphone jack is at the top.

Just wait for a few months for an existing stock of prebuilt PCs to run out, and you’ll see their price jump even higher.

Cheap Chinese Pi knockoffs like OrangePi are also becoming more expensive, it’s because the cost of the components increases. AI companies now buying all RAM and every RAM, even ancient DDR3.

There’s also 3 inch Unihertz Jelly Star. Did anyone actually bought it?

Separate box with Raspberry Pi and Kodi, and don’t connect your TV to WiFi or any other network connection, just an HDMI cable.

Or buy a TV box specifically supported by LineageOS or other opensource Android TV ROM.

In theory you can try to root and replace your TV firmware, that gets messy fast because most of them do not have any custom ROMs.

Smart TV are trash of the trashiest sort. Cheapest components, painfully slow, 4 GB flash stuffed with outdated buggy Android and preinstalled adware, with 200 MB free space for anything usable, zero chance of updates, tons of security holes, and pretty much abandoned by Google.

Sounds like you don’t have the motivation. Maybe stop thinking about learning programming specifically, and change it into “what cool things I can do with technology”. Set up some project with actual goals, like a motorized bird feeder with remote controls on your phone. Look up the simplest and cheapest way to do that, and programming will naturally come along, because you’ll 100% won’t find a working market solution and would need to create some 100-line Python script, via AI or not it does not matter, the important part is that it does what you need and you know how to fix it or add new things.

Future genetically enhanced super-soldiers: bulging bicepses lined with testosterone ampules, merciless eyes with sclera flooded red, and permanently wrinkled butt cheeks, for better grip of course.

The best I can offer is ꙮ

Did you know? Typing man tool in your web browser will bring you several websites with online manpages for tool and an useless AI overview on the top!

It won’t, because there’s no graphics display, so SDL won’t initialize.

You need to install and launch Termux:X11 to provide a video surface, and it won’t support GL acceleration.

It’s trivial to make the battery thicker to match the camera bump. Thin phones have thin camera bumps that still stick out, it’s totally a design choice.

I would expect something worse than bubble sort. No idea whether it will even work:

void reverse(auto A, int start, int end) {
  for (int i = 0; i < (end - start) / 2; i = i + 1) {
    auto tmp = A[start + i];
    A[start + i] = A[end - i];
    A[end - i] = tmp;
  }
}

for (int j = 0; j < N; j = j + 1) {
  for (int i = 0; i < N; i = i + 1) {
    if (A[i] < A[i + 1]) {
      reverse(A, i, N);
    }
  }
}

I’ll check them out

For ages it was safe to download and open random files on Linux, because they simply would not run. Now Linux is a very desirable target for criminals, so they learned to write multiplatform viruses.

The best option would be an automatic sandbox for running random crap downloaded who knows where, and Android does that automatically, but on desktop Linux you need to either create a new user (and remove world-readable permissions from your main account files), or create a custom Docker container, or create a chroot, or launch a VM, all of which require half a day of learning new tools, and then debugging why graphics would not work.

standing uncomfortably close It’s called 𝔓𝔩𝔞𝔰𝔪𝔞 now

Only on the kernel ackshually. Most packages are GPL3 or BSD or Apache.

If you don’t plan to edit source files, Linux distribution licenses boil down to “do whatever just don’t sue us”

That would be true like 200 years ago, every guy would know some woodworking because you are a farmer and you are poor.
