How about this. If self check out is a problem go back to paying cashiers.

None of that makes sense with how taxes actually work. For every $1 donated to charity, the maximum you're getting back is 0.37 from the tax deduction. That's assuming you're in the max tax bracket. The higher your tax bracket, the cheaper it is to give to charity, but it's never better than keeping the money yourself.
There are games that can be played with charitable donations, but cash to a foundation is not really the way. The real games are played around with hard to value assets like art/jewelry where massively inflated values and weird lease terms can lead to some really questionable outcomes. For example "loaning" art to a museum and writing off the "rent" after having it appraised for some insane value.

Plex is overhauling its apps with a redesign and under-the-hood upgrades

I abandoned jellyfin shortly into my self hosting setup. Plex just worked, with Jellyfin I spent an hour trying to figure out how to get it to serve an acceptable to Firefox codec and never succeeded. I'm sure with more effort I could have figured out what the magic combination was, but it wasn't obvious and I had too many other things to set up.

Itch.io Re-indexes free NSFW content, are in ongoing discussions with payment processors to re-introduce paid content
Reply in thread
Steam's bans were (as far as I've seen) far more targeted at content that is a lot tougher to defend. It's a lot tougher to defend rape and incest content than just all porn and nsfw. Obviously it's all fantasy and fiction, but it's still more difficult.
Itch.io went full into banning everything labeled nsfw, LGBTQ, violent, etc. The fact that Steam had a much more targeting impact implies to me that they used their stronger position to negotiate prior to the ban rather than itch.io that banned first and is now trying to walk that back.

A very small minority of lawyers work criminal cases.

What do you think have we taken for granted before it was enshittified?

There's plenty of stuff dropped, a lot of it is dubious tbh.
My older phones had: IR blaster for controlling TVs FM radio tuner Replaceable battery's Headphone jack (as you noted) Expandable microsd storage Physical Keyboards (no real loss imo)
Probably some others I've forgotten. Honestly, I slightly miss the IR blaster on occasion. I haven't listened to FM radio in ages, but could see it being useful. Replaceable battery's would be nice from a longevity perspective, but I prefer battery packs to device specific batteries for longer life in general and battery life is more than a day for me anyway unless I'm going nuts. The lack of SD storage is the one that bothers me the most.
Keep in mind phones have gained at least a few things in that time. Simple reliable waterproof is a huge one.

Worse. Exposing Jellyfin to the internet is a bad idea given the teams stance on security. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5415#issue-824791596
The only safe way to host jellyfin is with a vpn.

It's a very dumb saying. If you don't have the volts you won't get the amps to kill you that's ohms law.
However, there are plenty of harmless high voltage scenarios as well. Situations with high voltage, but no power.
So really you need both.

US citizen here. Stayed in many hotels. Never once tipped for housekeeping. I've tipped for lots of small extras, like bag service, valet, etc. I know it's a thing some people do, but it's certainly not standard or expected. Cleaning the room is part of the stay price.

Quartz? Quartz clocks are about 100 years old. You make it sound ljke we went from sundials to Casios lol. Mechanical clocks are around 1800 years old. Pendulum clocks around 500 years old and spring mechanical slightly younger.

As a pilot...the real faa maps take training to read, but they are quite accurate. But maybe they publish something useless and contradictory for drone operators.

Conceptually, LoL filled a hole. DotA was DotA, complicated, hard, lots of nuance. Some people wanted an even more complicated DotA. Heroes of Newerth filled that hole. Some people wanted a simpler DotA. LoL filled that hole.
I personally preferred HoN, but I can't fault people for preferring LoL.

That is not the definition of escape velocity. Escape velocity is the minimum velocity to escape a body's gravity well entirely. Orbital is much lower

Or just a dynamics dns service like duckdns. Point a CNAME at your duckdns name. Or better still, a cron running locally and updating cloudflare dns etc. Lots of better options for home hosting than hoping your ip stays static.

Yup it will. In fact well before the water boils the chlorine will have come out of solution.
