I'd say lack of marketing and higher price tags. Money / Performance ratio is also better with a decent Thinkpad.

Some of these options can't (or not without high markups) be bought and shipped to Canada.

Because it use common hardware and bought "en masse" by enterprises; they tend to be more supported with FOSS than other options.

I've been happy with my used T480 so far.

There's KOHO for Canadians, still not a proper Privacy.com replacement but you get two Mastercard cards (one physical & one digital) and they are refillable via Interac payments.

When doing trials, I set a few dollars on the card to ensure if they try to do a 1$ transaction to verify the card and I'm good to go. Even if I forget to cancel, the payment won't pass.

Recently used Porkbun for a .xyz domain for reverse proxy / DNS challenge. Price was about 2-3CAD$ for the first year, renewal at +/-10CAD$/year. My usage is pretty simple, but it's been great so far.

From NH Switch Guide, this guide shows how to do it if you have emuMMC or not.

They also have a Discord channel if you need additional help.

They owe you nothing, stop sucking corporations balls. You won't be compensated for your "efforts".

Bought a second drive to run Linux on my gaming PC. It's been a month and I haven't had the need to boot into Windows yet. I had some initial troubles during installation but it's smooth sailing since. After owning the Steam Deck for 1+ year and already running Linux on my laptop, it was the last step towards ditching Windows entirely.

I paid for Tilla, it's a great app to manage subscriptions. I get notifications when the next payment is due. Pretty simple UI but that's what I like about it. You can check how much you spend per week/month/year.

You could use LimeWire to get LimeWire Pro. Good times.

Go build a gaming PC.

Don't forget the table and to use a Swiss Army knife that hopefully has a screwdriver in it.
