There are a lot of atom or mobile i3/i5 powered mini PCs that actually are powered with a 12v brick, in fact most of the industrial ones are. Small form factor, passive cooling, can play media for you and usually comes with 4x 1/2.5gbit Ethernet, so it can double as a router/switch. Usually 10-15w power draw.
Go to AliExpress and simply search for minipc and make sure it has a SATA connector for your hard drive.
Yes. PSN is only available in about 70 countries (out of 190). E.g. in the entire continent of Africa only one country has access.
Even some members of European Union don’t get PSN.
Same. I’ve switched to Arch from Ubuntu as my main os almost 10 years ago and in all that time I’ve had a problem that goes beyond inconvenience level maybe twice. In fact Ubuntu broke more often.
Workstations/laptops at my current job in order of popularity: nixos, arch, macos. Windows is around 2%.
Napoleon sent polish troops to fight a slave rebellion, poles declared they were supposed to fight for freedom not against it and changed sides.
Well, it definitely would not be easy to use in Poland: according to the last census out of almost 38,000,000 people fewer than 200 are black.
Unless you are trying to get a job with min/max age requirements, like airline pilot or us president, age provides no valuable information to potential employer other than a factor to illegally discriminate on.
I don’t even have my age on mine.
Netflix limits you to 720p even on windows, unless you are using Edge: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742 (expand HTML5 browsers and scroll down).
This limitation doesn’t apply to all content - it’s the worst case scenario if copyright holder really put their foot down.
I’ve had a drug test on most vyvanse refills. The doctor had a checkbox to confirm a negative drug test that showed up when Vyvanse was selected because of either legal classification (schedule) of the medication or internal procedures of the clinic - I’m not 100% sure which.
Canada is way more strict about prescribing most controlled substances - you wouldn’t get opiates unless you are recovering from major surgery and even then only enough to get you through the worts of it. it’s generally accepted that certain things will hurt and unless it’s a chronic or debilitating pain you are supposed to deal with it with minimum pharmacological assistance.
E.g. getting wisdom teeth pulled would get you high dose ibuprofen (Advil), maybe something a notch stronger than that.
In some places such tests are recommended if not mandatory for all controlled substances, even if their potential for abuse is minimal - vyvanse is an amphetamine precursor, so it’s classified like that. It’s a class above antidepressants for example - more tightly controlled.
I’ve had to submit to a drug test on most refills and I’ve had it explained using the exact same wording, so I suspect that was a standard script he was following (in Ontario). There was even a difference when getting the pills because of their legal status: pharmacy was allowed to courier antidepressants for another family member, while vyvanse was in person pickup only from the same pharmacy.
Also AFAIK Vyvanse can have a nasty interaction with meth.
tl;dr; this is likely a standard procedure they use for all controlled substances
Edit: I just remembered my doctor showed me he literally had a checkbox in their filing system to confirm a drug test and it only showed up when a controlled substance was prescribed.

TP-Link omada line is basically a bunch of ubiquity clones at much lower price
Same setup, a bit more shaves - I’d say 6 on average
Something more like this https://a.co/d/0bgPCSvQ - it should use half the power, it’s way smaller, 2x SATA if you want 2 drives. I haven’t checked if this specific one is 12V, but there are dozens in the same form factor and with similar specs.
