I'd kind of imagine that he's not developing these ideas on his own, that rather some media that he's consuming is providing him with them.

DNS requests shouldn't contain search terms.
-
On some systems, DNS requests might expose the hostname of servers that serve sites for results that you're clicking on. Firefox and Chrome at least, probably others, defaults to use of DNS-over-HTTPS, so the hostname shouldn't be visible in plaintext even then.
-
Depending upon how the HTTP server is set up, due to SNI, it may be possible for the VPN provider to see the hostname to which you are opening a connection during the TLS handshake by looking at the HTTPS traffic. AFAICT, this is the common case today.
Reading these comments, I have to say that a number of users of this community have very strong views on batteries.
Like, I would not have expected as many people to get upset as did in a discussion over batteries.
You do if you want it to connect to the thing you're playing on.
Unless you're ok with a shitty Bluetooth connection. But I'm guessing few people comparatively are using that, at least as their primary use case.
Okay, but I think that that kind of misses the broader context. This only came up as a hypothetical for how one could discharge a controller. If you're playing on a wired connection, then the console is charging thr controller and the issue never comes up in the first place.
Maybe it's a bad translation of something that approximates "junk food" in French?

There are 1.65 trillion barrels of proven oil reserves in the world as of 2016.
So another extra 30% or so.
I don't use Windows, but I've used fdupes on Linux. The WP page says that there's some Windows build, but I don't see Windows binaries on their release page.
When I hit alternativeto.com, it listed Czkawka as a graphical alternative to fdupes, and it looks like that does run on Windows. I have not used it, though.
EDIT: Ah, here's the Windows-compatible fdupes fork, jdupes. I do see Windows binaries on their releases page.

The Pink Pistols is an LGBTQ gun rights organization in the United States and Canada. Their motto is "Pick on someone your own caliber".[1]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_Shooting_Sports_of_Utah
Stonewall Shooting Sports of Utah is a group of gun rights advocates in Utah. It supports the Pink Pistols' idea that was described nationally in 2000 by writer Jonathan Rauch for the legal, responsible and safe use of weapons for their self defense, recreation and shooting sports.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Rifle_Association
The Socialist Rifle Association (SRA) is a socialist gun rights advocacy group based in the United States, which is dedicated to "providing working class people the information they need to be effectively armed for self and community defense."[5][6][self-published source] The group advocates for Second Amendment gun rights from a left-wing perspective.[7]

Official Statement on Recent DOJ Discussions
The Socialist Rifle Association opposes in the strongest terms the stripping away of gun rights for our trans comrades. Trump's DOJ is far beyond the pale having floated the idea.
It's also worth noting that the major gun rights groups, which tend to be on the right side of the spectrum, also condemned the Trump administration for suggesting that trans people should be disarmed:

The National Rifle Association insists the Second Amendment "isn't up for debate" as senior Justice Department officials have reportedly held internal deliberations about issuing regulations restricting transgender individuals from possessing guns in the wake of a shooting at a Catholic school in Minnesota that left two children dead and 17 others injured on August 27.
The Second Amendment Foundation, a Washington state-based gun rights advocacy nonprofit group, also blasted the Department of Justice's reported consideration of new firearm restrictions, saying it "stands resoundingly in opposition" of any such policies.
Gun Owners of America, a Virginia-based nonprofit with more than two million members and supporters, also denounced the Trump's administration reported plans.
"Gun Owners of America does not compromise with our support for the right of all the People to keep and bear arms," GOA senior vice president Erich Pratt told Newsweek in a statement. "That means we oppose any and all gun bans — whether proposed by Republicans or Democrats. Anti-gunners would happily label every gun owner 'crazy' in order to confiscate our firearms and infringe on our rights. We're not going to give up an inch."
The National Association for Gun Rights, meanwhile, noted that only a Title III court can adjudicate someone as "mentally defective" for purposes of firearm restriction.
"It is a judicial branch function, not an executive branch function," NAGR president Dudley Brown told Newsweek in a statement. "This process — and only this process — is available today as it may apply to transgenders or to any American suffering from mental health issues, but taking rights away from any American without due process is an affront to the Constitution. All ex parte gun bans are unconstitutional."
The head of Swiss chemicals producer Clariant said the company would expand capacity in China and warned of “more production shifting away from Europe” because of the continent’s higher energy and labour costs.
I can believe high labor costs in Switzerland, but Switzerland is a country that I think of when I think of having a ton of hydropower, like Norway and Austria. I wouldn't have thought that they'd be impacted much by fossil fuel transition. Might be that they're selling hydropower to neighbors or something.

According to this, it actually has fairly expensive electricity.
Despite its abundant hydropower resources, Switzerland's electricity prices remain among the highest in Europe, causing distress for both residential and commercial consumers.
The drivers behind these elevated costs are multifaceted, encompassing renewable energy investments, energy market price fluctuations, and emissions reduction regulations.

According to this, all Lunar Lake CPUs have 4 performance and 4 economy cores; none have a single core.
I will carry around a huge power bank before I buy a laptop with soldered RAM.
I carry a ~300 Wh power bank with my laptop.

They also have a less-elaborate, smaller, lighter, less-expensive ~200 Wh model that's probably more actually-practical:

Note that you can't take anything over 100 Wh on a flight in the US. I also have a 100 Wh power bank that I keep around for flights.
