Tell them how much power the TV and radio broadcast towers put out and watch them freak out. The analog TV stations ran even higher power than the digital ones do now.

No, you can copy wine prefixes around all you want. You may have to adjust the graphics settings in the games though.
Movies are not sold on recordable media, they are sold on pressed discs. There are a lot more manufacturers than just Sony too.
X11 isn’t secure and it can’t be fixed apparently
Which is why so much work has been going into Wayland, which will replace X11.
I see an LG WH14NS40 on amazon for $55 US that will write triple layer discs. Where are you finding $130 drives?
Blurays will be much more reliable and will write much faster than cheap flash drives. A double layer disc only holds 46.5 GiB though and triple layer discs are still somewhat expensive.
OK, now ban bootloader locking next.
Don’t use more than one ad blocker extension on the same browser, it can cause conflicts.
It sounds like he wants everything done server side like they did in the mid 90’s. It’s certainly possible, but it won’t result in a very good user experience. The whole page would have to reload to change anything on it.
Just make sure the VPS will shut down if the bandwidth is exceeded rather than giving you a big overage charge.
If they don’t want to maintain the copper lines, they can always replace them with fiber.
8GB would be fine for basic use if it was upgradable. With soldered RAM the laptop becomes e-waste when 8GB is no longer enough.
I typically look for 1080p X265 encodes around 2-4 mbps to save disk space. I will download higher bitrates for anything with a lot of film grain since it will get very blocky at lower bitrates.
I can’t tell much difference between 1080p and 4K unless I’m very close to a large screen. Also, most 4K files are HDR and I don’t have anything that supports HDR.
They will usually block port 25 so you can’t run a mail server. It’s unusual for an ISP to block everything unless you are on CGNAT.
All of the mirrors listed on their website are safe. Just pick one close to you. If it downloads too slow, you can try a different mirror. If you know how to use bittorrent, you can use their torrent link. It will typically be the fastest.
With Wayland, programs still can’t restore their window position or size. It sure would be nice if they could get basic functionality working.
If your ISP provides IPv6, set that up. Everything will have a globally routed address, so your domains will work from your LAN and the internet. If you don’t have IPv6 available, get a free tunnel from Hurricane Electric.
That will add extra latency from USB. Old programs are not likely to be very tolerant of that.
I would only recommend using it if a native package is not available or you need a newer version than what’s available.
Half the time I will just compile from source when I see how much space a flatpak and its dependencies will take up though.
Lutris uses separate prefixes and doesn’t do any deduplication. You will need a separate tool for that or just use a filesystem like btrfs that supports deduplication.
I’ve never used bottles, so I don’t know how it handles deduplication.
