I wouldn't call it incidentally. It's actually a very important story. It tells the tale about the early days of the Rebellion and how they sniffed out the construction of the Death Star, eventually leading up (and connected) to the events in Rogue One and A New Hope.
Why do people keep comparing Apples to Bananas (pun intended)?
To be clear: These two are based on completely different system architectures. Ofcourse performance is different, and probably in favor of Apple. Especially because everything running on top of Apple Silicon is heavily optimized from the get-go to do so (due to hardcore system level optimization by the build chain and kernel engineering groups at Apple).
If you want a excellent quasi open and self repairable/modifiable laptop running Linux there's probably nothing better on the market than a Framework laptop. But I might be a little bit biased because my main system is a Framework 16 running Gentoo with OpenRC.
I can do everything I want with it including local AI, since the 6.x kernel series - including AMD NPU support - was released to stable, and AMD creating a excellent runtime to serve local AI models through AMD NPUs and GPUs called Lemonade (https://lemonade-server.ai/) a little while back.
It's part of Vanguard. As Vanguard hooks itself into the Windows kernel through a low level (ring 0) system driver and all partitions except the system / UEFI service partition are not available at boot/init time (which is the moment Vanguard is loaded and activated) it uses the UEFI service partition to dump files it temporarily or permanently requires.
If you no longer play any of Riot's games (which you should if you really care about the integrity of your system) and Vanguard is no longer active on your system you should be able to safely remove it.
In fact, a lot of companies throughout Europe do. Either through a fuel card (when leasing a car) or a travel allowance (which can either be used for gas or public transport).
Some governments, like in the Netherlands, also allow a percentage of travel costs to be deducted from yearly tax if a employer does not reimburse costs directly.
They do read the appeals. I know this because I was falsely permanently suspended, without lawful reasons and without prior notice, with an account in good standing, a few years ago.
After writing several appeals over the years, in which I even mentioned article 19 of the UN UDHR (which pretty much mentions everyone has the right of freedom of expression and freedom of speech), and after receiving several rejections with the standard boilerplate text I got a very angry human written reply from somebody working at the Safety and Security team mentioning amongst other things I should never try to appeal again, and that they would automatically reject every appeal if I would. Or at least, that was basically the gist of it.
And I tried it once afterwards, and they didn't lie about that.
This was after the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk, by the way.
So yes, they do read appeals (even before the Elon purchase likely). But they don't care.
Indeed. Most neurodivergents I know in my country are on government benefits because they are unable to work -- or rather "incompatible with the modern workplace", because they can but not allowed to.

If Trump is truely insane and his plan "to bomb the living shit out of Iran's energy infrastructure" includes the Bushehr NPP, mainly operated by Russian nuclear scientists and engineers, the world will likely face even bigger problems than they are facing now.
Nvidia's infrastructure is somehow whitelisted. They support pretty much every game with invasive kernel level anti cheat, at least those from Microsoft / Xbox Game Studios (notably Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty series), and Electronic Arts (Battlefield, FIFA and the like).
