I think it's a bit of an unfair comparison because rental places had more overhead. Location, employees, physical media purchases/storage, etc etc

I pretty much always use an external mouse with my NexDock, cause the touchpad is pretty unusable imo. The keyboard is.. okay. I wouldn't really have a good place to put an external keyboard without pushing the nexdock screen too far back.
My NexDock doesn't charge the steamdeck fast enough with the single cable solution, so I end up using a USB-c hub and power it separately which makes it extremely clunky. You end up with: 2x usb-c cables for power, usb-c hub, hdmi cable, usb cable to nexdock<-> steamdeck. You can get it down to 1x usb-c cable for charging if you alternate between the charging the steamdeck and the nexdock.
I use my NexDock + SteamDeck when traveling and LAN parties. It works fine, a little clunky. I haven't tried resolutions above 1080p, but as long as you're not trying to play AAA games, I don't see it being an issue. Personally I would go with the external monitor. The Nexdock keyboard and mouse is horrendous.
I'm not sure what definition of UBI you're using, but not all forms of UBI need to cover the entirety of living expenses. UBI is just having income without strings attached. This very study is showing that even small amounts of money can help people get out of shitty situations.
Also as someone who lives in Dever, it's not that expensive. Sure $1500+ is what you'll pay around LoDo, but there are plenty of cheaper places.
What? This is one of the most ridiculous things I've read in awhile and people are up voting this misinformation. No rover that's on Mars is using a rpi. Here are the actual specs: https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/spacecraft/rover/brains/
I googled around to see where you could have gotten this information from. You might be thinking of this educational rover: https://github.com/nasa-jpl/open-source-rover/blob/master/README.md
Sort of, they also use the local price. So tarrifs play a role.
I'm on lemmy.ml, looks to still be federated?
A solid that isn't undergoing any sort of chemical reaction isn't going to smell because there isn't anything to smell. You need a molecule to enter your nose to smell. That's my basic understanding, someone smarter than I can explain it better.
Also I'm not sure any country still uses iron for coins.
I agree with the other posters, your hardware is going to hold you back. But you could try switching to a lighter desktop environment like LXDE instead of GNOME. This user found a small increase in performance: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/dg87jp/does_the_desktop_environment_matter_for_gaming/
But they had somewhat beefy hardware. If you're truly at the limit of your specs, 100% CPU/RAM usage, your performance increase could be even more.
After going through a couple of cheap $20-30 bidets. I got a toto washlet for about $300. Definitely worth it.
