I haven't had any device that wasn't recognized by Linux in 15 years. Do you have examples of hardware that "normal people" use and does not work?

You'd need to have a job first

I also hated it when I had a OnePlus 8. Luckily it fell in the floor and the screen broke. My insurance repaid me the full price and with that I bought an Xperia 5 II. It is sooo much better with its small form factor, flat screen, its stereo front facing speakers, it's headphone jack and its long battery life!

Have a look at the Xperia 10 Series (for example the Xperia 10 VI), they have all those features for what I find is a reasonable price.

Sony Xperia still have front facing speakers.

I really like that Sony didn't abandoned good features just to follow the hype. Some of those features are a headphone jack, an SD card and a small screen (big screens also available in the 1 series).

How do you know the "average person" doesn't do childish things when out in the wood by themselves?

Looks to me like a real hat you could see at a German music festival... if it were built out of empty beer cans and duct tape of course.

I'm curious, do people do this kind of stupid things (though funny, I must admit) at festivals all around the world?

There are some reactor designs that run on waste of standard reactors. It would solve two of your points for at least some decades.

What about selling your muscle for construction work, your face for an advertisement or your voice for airport announcements? Maybe selling your naked body is not much different than these apart from the bad connotations that you have about sex.

You could actually break bitcoin with enough computing power. Bitcoin works on the fact that most of the miners are honest. Someone with enough processing power could rewrite the Blockchain as they want.

My request from Switzerland was accepted. It's almost EU though.

I do actually use variables before I declare them most of the time. IDEs make it so easy to then generate the declaration with the correct type.
