IIRC chvt is a privileged command, which makes sense (if an unprivileged user could execute this command they could effectively brick the computer for a local user).
That said, my understanding is that modern DE's are given a lot of access, so presumably chvt is allowed (and in this case, is required because as others mentioned, password is required). So the only other option is to fail unlocked, which is all kinds of Bad.
No longer available I guess, but I got this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DDX1K5S1
Only complaints are that it will thermal throttle on long workloads (e.g., transcoding or facial recognition on my entire Immich library), and the SSD slots --- it comes with an mSATA drive in the first slot which is 4 lanes (I think?) and supports mSATA and NVME. The second slot is slower (1 lane?) and only supports NVME. So I had to put my nicer NVME SSD in that slot if I wanted to use the included mSATA drive, but consequently the NVME speed is slower than it should be. (I could swap it to the fast slot but then I couldn't use the included mSATA drive.)
For my use case, both minor issues.

"No I'm just cheap."
That's...pretty believable.

No judgement here, you just keep doing what makes you happy.
While neat, this is not self-sustaining --- it's taking more energy to power it than you're getting out of it. (You can build a fusion device on your garage if you're so inclined, though obviously this is much neater than that!)
One viewpoint is that we'll never get clean energy from these devices, not because they won't work, but because you get a lot of neutrons out of these devices. And what do we do with neutrons? We either bash them into lead and heat stuff up (boring and not a lot of energy), or we use them to breed fissile material, which is a lot more energetically favorable. So basically, the economically sound thing to do is to use your fusion reactor to power your relatively conventional fission reactor. Which is still way better than fossil fuels IMHO, so that's something.
If you exclude blocked instances, you're a lot higher than #5...
My home town is in bald eagles' historic habitat, but there were never any growing up. In the past decade or so, they've started to reclaim it, which is pretty cool.
Yeah, we're destroying the planet, but we are doing some things right. And this sort of good stuff only happens because we fight for it.
The amount of money you save (and invest) isn't accurately depicted with this though. Living expenses don't necessarily grow with take home, if you keep lifestyle creep to a minimum.
So what this means is that if you make $100k and save $10k/year, if you start making $200k you can save the same $10k/year, plus the entire additional $100k after taxes (let's just say that's $50k+). So you doubled your salary but your savings went up 6x+.
Not sure why you're saying Python forces everything to be object oriented...?
Wouldn't 25 year olds still be in school for their doctorates though?
Yes, I think that's the point --- they skew the numbers upwards.
"Chain migration" is how many people --- myself included --- get jobs.
I went to a very good school, and while I like to think the quality of education is what makes a school "good," let's be honest --- the value is largely in your connections. Friend lands a good job, recommends you when there's an opening, and bam, you're already at the top of the pile of the CVs (better yet, they're the hiring manager).
Friends from school --- peers and mentors alike --- are a great place to start, if you can. Ask to grab a coffee and chat about their career, and be clear that you're in the market. Most people are happy to chat (at the very least, it's flattering).
It's the way the world works...
Costco focus on quality over quantity
...which sounds hilarious, given it's Costco! But I agree, at least in their stores (as in, they don't necessarily offer a huge variety of any particular items, but the one they have is --- for my money --- usually good quality).

But "included" doesn't mean free. You still paid for it.
Baking is chemistry, cooking is jazz.
I'm curious how the battery percentage went up
Physicists hate this one weird trick...
Exactly. And it includeded a 500GB m2 (SATA, not NVME, but still), with a spare m2 slot available. As opposed to an SD slot + USB port...
Dual gigabit NICs and importantly can be configured to boot after power loss (which the pi of course also does).
And Intel QuickSync may not be perfect but it is well supported with mainline kernels.
Only drawback is that it draws a few extra watts compared to the Pi.
Is that true though? As in, is it really that dangerous? It seems that you'll dissipate power equal to the inefficiency times the nominal charging power, so something like 5V x 2A x inefficiency (inefficiency being 1-efficiency), which will probably be of order a watt.
I can use my car battery to charge itself without any issues --- I just plug the red terminal to itself, and same with the black, which is to say, a battery is always connected in a way that "charges itself."
I think the key is that the battery probably isn't really playing a big role in OOP's setup --- electricity doesn't "go through the battery," it just goes from the charging input to the power output circuits, with the additional power (due to inefficiency) being provided by the battery.
