Maybe a stupid question, but have you power cycled your networking equipment?
Google (The company behind Chrome) wants to create a type of DRM for web pages. Google claims that this will help with things like bot traffic, spam, etc.
Mozilla (The company behind firefox) is opposed to creating this DRM because it has no benefit to the end user and is likely to be harmful to the openness of the internet.
You likely know more than me about doing it, but this is my source

Single GPU passthrough
Currently, PCI passthrough works for dual-graphic cards only. However, there is a workaround for passing a single graphic card. The problem with this approach is that you have to deattach the graphics card from the host and use ssh to control the host from the guest.
When you start the virtual machine, all your GUI apps will be force terminated. However, as a workaround, you can use Xpra to detach to another Display before starting the virtual machine and reattach the Apps to display after shutting down the virtual machine.
If you have NVIDIA GPU, you may need to dump your GPU's vBIOS using nvflashAUR and patch it using vBIOS Patcher.
NVIDIA vGPU
By default, NVIDIA disabled the vGPU for consumer series (if you own an enterprise card go ahead). However, you can unlock vGPU for your consumer card.
You will also need a vGPU license, though there are some workarounds.
Follow this guide to manually setup a Windows 10 guest with NVIDIA vGPU.
Once I got my virtualization settings set up correctly in UEFI, and KVM was my hypervisor instead of QEMU TCG, my performance did seem pretty good. Maybe it's just working correctly without having to follow these steps?
Can I get the STL for your (comb style? Arch style?) cable organizer? I really dig it
For gaming? I haven't really run into any issues. If you're trying to virtualize your GPU for VMs and stuff like that, Nvidia is a lot more locked down. I use the proprietary drivers - the open source ones don't seem to perform as well. Most Distributions will just give you a prompt where you select which drivers you would prefer to use.
Right, they did it for fun. Not to keep COLA low, or any other perverse incentive the government has.
The CPI has been changed over and over to deliberately understate inflation. Hedonics and owners equivalent rent stand out particularly strongly
This is just a lack of finance skills.
You're paying $88 dollars a month forever? Why not just put that into a savings account and easily beat the amount of the coverage without having to go through the struggle of fighting an insurance company that is clearly ripping you off.
And roping your children into the same bad deal? Why would a parent pay for an adult offsprings funeral insurance to begin with? And for more than a decade without sitting down and thinking about it.
Because "real work" trucks have 4 doors and a short bed, right?
Moderations who weren't cowards got their subreddits quarantined/banned. Only Mods who agree with the admins politics or are too weak-willed to resist remain.
I'm not 100% sure what you're really trying to get here, especially about a "philosophy for myself when approaching tech".
What I think you're going for (And please correct me if I'm wrong) is how to figure out solutions to issues when you come across them. So to answer your questions:
When to use the internet? After you have already read whatever documentation you have on hand - things like man pages for a command, readme docs that come with a program, etc. A few minutes of really diving into documentation can save you hours of looking on the internet sometimes.
How to use search engines? In short, use keywords, and not normal language. If you are having a blue screen of death in Windows when you launch a program, you would look up "Programx launch bluescreen" instead of "When I launch programx, I get a blue screen"
Where to look for forums? I think any forum you find relating to your issue would be fine. Even communities like this can at least point you in the right direction when you ask your question. I think what's more important is what you post to the forum. All too often, there are posts like "steam doesn't work, please help" without even basic information to help troubleshoot the issue.
Better requests for help with have things such as "In Garuda, when I try to launch steam, I get this error message. I have uninstalled steam using pacman & re-installed without any change, my system is up to date. Here are my system specifications and my installed drivers"
I would recommend looking at other posts when you are on a forum to see what extra information is commonly requested and to put that in your post. Even if it's not related to the issue at hand, it shows that you are trying to help them help you.
