For the past few weeks, the download speed on steam via USB-Tethering on my Linux distro (Arch, btw) has been steadily going, barely reaching 2 MB/s right now. I thought it might be the ISP slowing Steam specifically down, since every other download worked at the expected speed (~15-30 MB/s).
Just because I was curious (and wanted to exclude Linux as the issue), I booted into my Windows and started a Steam download, which surprisingly reached 30 MB/s.

When using home wifi, every download has the (approximately) same speed, only with USB-Tethering and only on Linux is Steam much slower than anything else.

I'm at a loss here. No idea what the issue could be.

Update while writing this: I noticed my Wifi was still connected while USB-Tethering was active, disconnected and now Steam downloads with ~10 MB/s. Still slower than Windows but at least some progress and hopefully insight into what could be causing this.

I recently noticed that Firefox for me has pretty high battery usage, more than twice of what Connect (Lemmy) has at ~75% the screen time.
Could this be because of extensions? I'm using Dark Reader and uBlock Origin

So I've been wanting to switch from Google, but Calendar is the one thing keeping me from doing so, mainly because of Tasks. I only use Tasks and I use them multiple times a day. Are tasks coming to calendar any time soon? I saw them being mentioned in a post a year ago but it seems nothing happened yet.
