Lots of stuff here, assuming you are a minor because if not you should move out immediately.

First about the AC, I would recommend you ask to turn it on when the temperature is at a certain level in your room, say 80 or whatever your parents can agree to which is a more reasonable way to control it.

Next, I think daring your father to disown you sounds like a bad idea, I would not recommend you to escalate the situation since it sounds like a very poor relationship. If your mom can’t help, maybe you have grandparents that can help you? Good luck, try to hang in there.

I was about to say Samsung, but then I just googled and found they were bought by HP lol… So no idea.

Have you tried foo2zjs? I used to use that years ago for my old HP:

Next time don’t buy HP, :(.

Well passed time to do some monopoly busting.

Is this an anti-meme?

I’m an old school emacs guy, I prefer that for c++/python/etc and run KDE Neon because I like KDE and I’m used to ubuntu (and Kubuntu has some issues). For c++ I use CMake, google test. Not really a fan of docker etc. but I have used Kubernetes and docker in the past. Those types of containers just create new and more complicated problems than just testing on the target platform, but in some niche cases it can be useful.

I can’t stress enough how awesome emacs is, but it takes a serious investment to get efficient with it.

HVDC links between countries will also make renewable energy transmissible to places around the globe that need it, so sun shinning in one country can be transmitted to where the demand is.

Ugh, how can a US citizen not be a doomer these days.

Yes this is the anti cancel tactics that many companies use and the ftc is working on it: https://www.npr.org/2023/03/23/1165527249/ftc-rule-charges-cancel-online-subscriptions

I recently canceled surfshark too (i hope) and I recommend Mullvad if you need a vpn in the future, you pay for one month at a time, no subscription bs.

I use kde neon, I much prefer it to Kubuntu.
