If you want to be strict about privacy, in F-Droid turn off all anti-features and you'll see there is no version of Firefox available to install. You have to make compromises if yo want to install any off-shoot of Firefox.
The 4K Freesync isn't going to provide much because the evidence for pushing that says there wil not be an 8800 XT or 8900 XT. Maybe in 4 to 5 years there will be a 9900 XT 4K Freesync graphics card.
I'm going 4K but that will wait until after I buy 5080 or 5090 to push 4K everything. Right now, only 4090 can do it and nothing less than 4090.
Given the future of game engines, I would recommend 4080 over XTX to power future games. You will have to replace the XTX sooner based on the newest game you have at anytime. Watch the price of the 4080 in 2 to 3 months for a good sale.
For VMware, beng productive work, what do the benchmarks show for Intel vs AMD with VM?
Having 2 1440's, yes, you badly need to upgrade video card. Something like a 6800 XT, 4070 may work or might not be strong enough but 4080 is a lot of money, or 3080 Ti.
After you buy a GPU, save up for new board and processor, your 6 cores won't always keep up with graphics card
Why side note to start, why do people like start a conversation with "I mean...." when there was nothing said previously? That is a phrase usually reserved for when someone is clarify a previous statement regarding what they meant to say beforehand, that's why I ask, how do initiate first contact with "I mean..."?
For LMG, the position of the person in contact with Billet Lab is irrelevent. In a healthy company, there is frequent contact between the different deparments during work. Interdepartment agencies. When someone at LMG got the request for the prototype to be returned, it would be their duty and responsivility to pass the memo on to the person(s) involved and notify them in the appropriate position of the request with a statement that it has to packaged up so the individuals who handle all incoming and outgoing packges can get it sent back to Billet Labs. It's not the person who received the request that is then responsible for the packaging and mailing of it.
It's different employees in that chain who are responsible and as they complete it they pass it on to the next in line in the process for getting it ready to go out.
Billet Labs asked for it to be returned. LMG agreed the their request and told Billet Labs "Yes, we will return it to you." Then LMG auctioned it off. LMG committed theft. There very well may be a valid legal case for Billet Labs to sue for punitive damages if LMG does not give them a sizeable amount of money.
Seeing Linus not address about LMG agreed to send the protype back to Billet Labs, plus Billet Labs publicly stating "No, we never agreed to financial compensation, we asked for it to be returned" and Linus saying it was auctioned for charity makes Linus Media Group a thief.
Yes,I'm saying LMG stole the protype from Billet Laps since it was sold and not retuned.
No, it will never be used anywhere in any business.
Everything GNU and FSF does is driven by ideology, and there's billions of dollars that will will make sure businesses never use or accept anonymous payment services of any kind of those businesses don't want to be charged with money laundry and all properties confiscated.
But only if they use payment services that are not part of the banking networks with verified account names.
