DDG proxies Bing results with extra privacy. Startpage proxies Google results with extra privacy (it's a bit slow in my opinion though).

Ecosia proxies both with a bit oft extra privacy, as long as you don't click or block the advertised results.

SearX proxies whatever you want, but its kinda slow last time I tried it.

Brave Search builds their own index, which is pretty good (on par with Bing) even though they're only about a year old at this point. The company is a bit sketchy though.

Idk about coffee as I don't drink it, but if a drink is too hot or too cold the temperature tends to mask the flavor.

Wow, we only vacuum once a week, that's it. Maybe its because my tower is on my desk? Or our air is just really clean for some reason...

The latency isn't an issue, the timing becomes an issue because you don't have a clean signal at some point, meaning the signal will arrive "spread out" over time. If it spreads to the next signal, your GPU isn't recognized anymore.

But as long as.that doesn't happen, there is no latency or performance decrease.

Depends in how clean your room is. I have a case without dust filters and it's been running for over a year without any visible dust accumulating.

Also it's mounted up high, the further you can get from your floor the cleaner it'll be.

Nope. As long as your signal still gets through without timing issues, everything behaves fine.

You don't really need any airflow there. The only thing that gets hot there is memory, but that is already cooled through the PCB (good heat conductor because of the copper), which is cooled by the regular heat sink.

Sorry for the late reply but yes, this works on Lineage, one of the reasons I'm using it!

SEO isn't something google invented, it was just a result of their actions.

A lot oft ROMs allow you go completely disable Internet access for a certain app. Disabling the data collection toggles in GBoard and disabling internet access for GBoard, Play Services, Play Store and the Google App should prevent most logging.

Lead engineer was a (really good) engineer at some point. Also lead engineer still needs to understand a lot about programming and the project they're working with

Yes, which is what I use. I don't really like the company and people behind it, and they've did some shady stuff but the other chromium browsers aren't really any better.
