"any you don't recognize or need."

Good advice, keep your extensions to a minimum and there's also a thing called javascriptlets: Small scripts that can be used to replace unverified, etc., extensions or if you principally don't trust any extensions. Here is an example to increase YouTube playback speed. You can set any speed:
1. Create an empty bookmark.
2. In the "URL" field enter:
javascr1pt:(function(){document.getElementsByTagName("video")[o].playbackRate = 2.25})();(correct the 1 with an i)
3. Open any video and click the bookmark.
It may not work on other websites.

"When it comes to ad blockers, stick to well-known, open-source solutions. "

Another good advise.

"Finally, treat AI chats as semi-private services, meaning you shouldn't enter any passwords, identification details, or sensitive company data you wouldn't reveal to a stranger. "

Well, the AI company has the prompts and is going to do with them whatever they want, to a certain (high) degree, so in this sense it's not private at all. This is trivial. If you don't trust any extensions, you can create a second browser profile (firefox -p).

Quote from: true - haha on Yesterday at 14:19:06Maybe it's time for Intel to move their CPU to TSMC as well. Intel can still put their backdoors on a chiplet made by them XD

It is not problem of intel process. You can compare apple chips made in TSMC and intel once they will start production in intel.
I would say it is problem of x86 architecture and dumb managers in intel, who cannot understand that they can not compete with low power x86 cpu with low power arm cpu. Arm cpu will always win because of better efficiency. You can see that wildcat lake and low tier panther lake need 2 times more power to achieve same results as apple a18 pro. It will be much worse for intel if intel use a19 pro in neo next year. because it is 20% more powerful than a18 pro at same wattage.
In my opinion intel should totally abadonn low power laptop cpus, because they cannot compete with arm. second option is that intel will start manufacturing arm processors too. Once mediatek and qualcomm step into low power segment of laptops intel and amd are done. mediatek kompanio ultra 910 and snapdragon x2 alternative of X1-26 will crush whole line of panther lake with fanless design, half power consuption and price under 800 usd. Even neo will be not able to compete with them since price increase.
I dont understand why it didnt happened, but i assume it is because of windows, which still do not support mediatek cpus and they do want to  x2-26 to be made now, because it will redirect customers from their expensive surface laptops to other manufacturers which can made laptops with lower prices.
They only allow nvidia sparx with mediatek cpus because it will be even more expensive than microsoft laptops

500 Euro, warum nicht, aber nicht für den aufgerufenen Preis.

My desktop PC is quiet in idle and even while gaming (absolutely most of the time, depending on how many things are going on): The AMD X3D CPU is all cores undervolted using BIOS's PBO feature + a Macho CPU cooler, and a dedicated GPU is at -45-50% power, all in an open case. Only if the CPU utilizes like more than 4 threads, do I hear the fan.

If you need a room with 0 guaranteed noise, where also the water cooling fans would have to be outside, then this makes sense.
