That wasn't the point. The point was that the terms as written would allow them to.

The date/age is in the title. How much more clarity do you need?

I think he was referring to the fact that the website has no dark mode, not anything related to content.

Is the same checkbox in the settings that Firefox has, it's just on by default. Have you considered just turning it off?

Seems like a much simpler solution is to just use LibreWolf where all these things are removed from the program already for you. That's the point of the fork.

Also said "we will never share your data" and now they've removed that from the terms. I assume you're aware that they just had a change in leadership? These decisions come from whichever is in charge. New leadership might still agree enough with it to not change it, but what about the person after, or the one after that? As they say "never is a very long time".

I'm also not saying it will definitely happen, but my confidence in it not happening is now low enough that I switched to LibreWolf.

... yet

Bit late as a reply, but I remembered your post when I came across this fully open source MP3 player. It does not even appear to have BT, so might be an option.

As that might be relevant, I came across it from this youtube video here (got it in my feed, haven't watched it yet).

Edit: nevermind, has wifi and bt after all. Not surprising as it's ESP32 based, so it's literally just there.

Rechargeable batteries have been a thing for 30+ years. We have old battery collection points in most super markets.

What problem does this solve?

An FM receiver is purely passive. I mean there might be places with rules against it, but why? It doesn't influence or affect anything...

You kinda missed most of my points. Because a core advantage of building a PC from individual parts is that you can buy some parts used, or adjust them to what you actually need. You can't buy the PS5 used cause it just came out, but the components are actually relatively old.

A case can be had for cheap (often with fans). Also a used GPU might allow you to get a bit more performance for the same money (or the same perf for less money). Keep in mind that the hardware specs of the PS5 aren't exactly cutting edge top tier performance. You can also find a complete used PC with roughly the right specs, and a quick check showed an eBay listing for case+PSU+mobo+3700x+16gb and 512gb nvme + 2tb HDD for 309€. And that was the first hit, with "buy it now", after 30s on the site.

You can also tailor what exactly you buy to your needs. Maybe 1TB nvme is enough for you, or you can even start out with 500gb. It's a PC, just buy another m.2 when you really need it, takes 5 minutes to install.

But all that is kinda not the point either. Mainly the advantage is that it's a PC. It's not just a gaming thing (though it can be). That is what makes it worth it, also obviously depending on the individual needs. And that's the point. The PC does what you need, and can be made to change to whatever that is.

When you said "from a pure budget standpoint, no PC isn't worth it" you also one again COMPLETELY IGNORE that you need to buy games to play. Those are so much more expensive (and have a much more limited selection) on console. And over the lifetime of the console, game costs will have been much more than the device. That's the point, and why they are relatively affordable, they are subsidized by the manufacturer who makes money on every game bought for it. When a console comes out, they typically loose money on it.

Finally, once a few years have gone by, you can actually upgrade PC parts individually where needed. You don't have to buy the next generation new one, like with consoles. Again, much cheaper. For people who are on tight budget, this is or should be a huge consideration. Once you got a PC, the next upgrade is so much cheaper than a new console, yet it'll be equivalent to that new console.

Consoles are cheaper the day you buy them (and not by a lot). Even just weeks or months later the PC is cheaper. Years later it's cheaper by a lot.

Unless I misunderstood something, the PS5 isn't "true 4k", but uses upscaling just like any semi-modern GPU can do as well (DLSS and FSR I think is the AMD version). That changes that equation quite a bit.

I would argue that reocmmending a PC over a (new) console has gotten easier, especially for someone on a budget. Because you can actually get an incredibly competent machine these days (used of course). Even if you decide to pay more to get a better PC, you then have access to the vast PC library with all the bundles, frequent and often deep sales, giveaways, ... The cost of the console isn't just the console, but also what you can play on it and what it costs, and this aspect has improved massively on PC in recent years (and was already pretty good before then).

Of course, if you're interested in exlusives or first-party titles (like nintendo), or you generally play mostly AAA games, the console might just be the better or only option, but you better bring the wallet for the whole journey.
