They say nothing about their distro having no upstream. If they make a distro based of Debian/Arch/Fedora I don’t see that as dismissing their efforts anymore than Nobara/SteamOS/Ubuntu/Mint does.
I rather they enforce their requirements on their own spin then try to force existing distros to implement said reqs. They should obviously donate to the foss community when using the technology the community maintain though!
EU is behind the restrictions for vaping liquids, not Sweden. :)

Yeah, they had started limiting what you could buy in Sweden as well. My last time mixing I bought a silly amount of 18mg/ml 10ml strong menthol bottles and large 70/30 PG/VG bottles and ended up with my own 3mg/ml mixture that still tasted menthol, although not as overwhelmingly so.
I think part of it is something else - ease of use and ease of access.
The “world that makes sense” product exists already:

While I was vaping I mixed my own liquids though, as the cost savings was immense and I could easily lower the nicotine mg/ml on my own until I quit it altogether.
Yeah, if there’s a full system failure without any backups and no option to get the system operational again then I would land in clone the drives before trying to restore data from them.
If it’s a good old game, check if gog.com sells it. That would probably be the easiest way for a non technical user.
Many of their old games run using Dosbox, but without the end user having to set it up, f.e.

If the leaks are correct we’re talking about 120W TDP and higher power and thermal efficiency than the 7000 series of X3D CPUs.
L2 8MB, L3 96MB(32MB + 64MB) for a total of 104MB according to Toms Hardware

Priority one for me is that the motherboard allows for BIOS Firmware updates from a USB drive without having to boot an operating system. The user manual is usually the fastest way to verify that one.
Then I would look at PCIe slots, if I bought a new motherboard today I would want to have at least one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 5.0 m.2 slot.
Oh, and searching the net for people having trouble with the motherboards networking or bluetooth when running linux distros is always a good idea.
CPU
Some games benefit a lot from the large L3 cache in the X3D cpus, f.e. the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Check whether it is true for the ones you play.
GPU
I’m running an AMD 6650XT GPU in Linux without any trouble, I even use vfio to use it in a Fedora VM without errors.
RAM
Buying 2x32GB gives you enough RAM to run a bunch of VMs while gaming. 2x16GB is more than enough for a gaming rig.
Here’s another one putting the blame on them not investing in OpenAI:

At the same time Intel is definitely entering the race, and more competition is always nice:
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also appeared at the Intel event, where he announced that his company will use Intel’s relaunched foundry to make future chips.
In 2022, the US government passed the CHIPS Act promising $52 billion to reinvigorate domestic chipmaking and secure silicon supply lines.
According to a Bloomberg report, Intel is in line to receive $10 billion of that money.
Or this piece about creating an open-source software competitor for Nvidia, among other things:
Also importantly, Intel is spearheading a consortium of heavy hitters that are developing open-source software which can interface with all AI chips.
Such software would eliminate Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) biggest competitive advantage: its software, which enables its chips to be easily managed simultaneously.
Intel’s consortium also includes Arm (NASDAQ:ARM), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, GOOGL), and Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO).
It expects to unveil a finished product by the end of this year.
Corporate / Enterprise AI solution with quite a customer/partner list:
[…]customers and partners, including Bharti Airtel, Bosch, CtrlS, IBM, IFF, Landing AI, Ola, NAVER, NielsenIQ, Roboflow and Seekr.
They’re starting to release tools to use Intel ARC for AI tasks, such as AI Playground and IPEX LLM:

Personally I wouldn’t count Intel out of the game just yet, gonna be interesting to see what happens during 2025-2026.
So it’s a lightweight laptop but lacks the battery time to work on the go. (6 hours)
I imagine the youtube link is about the following:
Discord is firing back against MapleStory devs over copyright infringement and users are caught in the crossfire.
All those wives and girlfriends in denial even though the rape is documented with photos and video. Kudos to Gisèle for making the trial public.
In some cases they look for generic virtual hw devices, in other cases things like available cpu flags or BIOS version.
There are ways to hide it though:

After browsing through Subscribed/New I usually check out All/Top 12 hours and All/Active. If I still feel the need to doomscroll I might venture into All/New. My Subscribed list isn’t moving very fast…
It’s even easier to simply visit the community, if you aren’t subscribed you get a big nice block button in the sidebar.
No idea to be honest, been a long time since I ran Windows at home.
I’d look at wireguard / tailscale / headscale and hide your services behind a vpn
