Some recent asus ROG/TUF 2022+ models have fine tuning available via "armoury crate" or "g-helper" (non-proprietary, fan/community supported, code on github).
Disabling a dGpu and reducing power can yeld some impressive results for battery life. Allows also defining fan speed curves depending on temperature.
They did publish the code for World in Conflict online server (initially made by Massive Entertainment), and a few other tools https://github.com/ubisoft
There are some apps (like Intra) which allow you to connect to a built-in (cloudflare, google) or custom DoH server (your own or other providers which support DoH).
Nextdns have their own app for this as well.
For android 9 or higher there should be an option in network settings.
Tried to lookup some info, but it's not there. Maybe it's from some web scrapper which collected public info, or other means (some ambiguous mobile app which had access to contacts?). Or the leaked files are incomplete.
Yep, this has happened when putting it into Sleep mode. Might as well happen in Hybrid Sleep. And in advanced power settings you can disable wake timers, but I'm not sure if it helps.
Tried automating the removal of scheduled tasks (like the Compatibility runner which made the laptop sound like an airplane) and snoozed the updates for a few weeks. In the end, it broke the Scheduler, the task was still launching, and had to reset the OS to a proper state. It's a love and hate relationship with this OS.
NetGuard. Creates a local VPN through which the internet is routed. Shows the domains each app is accessing, can be blocked per app, or forbid internet at system level (breaks things, require fine tuning).
Also you can configure a non standard DNS (like adguard, which can block some things at the DNS level).
EDIT: or NextDNS, since it comes with some additional features.
Always makes sense of having a separate card for online stuff (shop, subscriptions, etc). But having to go to the bank and renew, create a new one, the waiting lines.
Some banks have web/mobile banking where you can restrict actions/limits/transactions, so it's a good option too.
Others have virtual cards for this purpose, but these are not offered in a lot of countries (revolut, privacy, yandex money, etc).
