The big problem is that the telecoms still charge by the minute to call a landline so most businesses have a Facebook page and use messenger as their primary form of contact.

I’m literally going to a vet now and they had messenger, WhatsApp or telegram as their contact method

I don’t think that’s the case, I just think it is old people not know how to use technology.

Additionally, all these people in power are using signal, how is that not a loud endorsement that everyone should be on it.

Sadly, my contact list remains mostly on WhatsApp and Facebook messenger only.

I’m at the point where I am only interested in handheld gaming.

The only reason I’d buy a dedicated gpu these days is to run AI stuff locally.

For the US, my understanding is that citizens can refuse, but if you do they may hold you for some time.

Non-citizens may be denied entry if they refuse to hand over their device.

Also want to add that you can add a non-steam .exe and install some windows applications too, not just games. After installing you just remove the installer from steam and point Steam towards the installed applications .exe

Just make sure to tell Steam to use proton to run it. By default, it does not turn that on.
