Yup that's exactly correct. I will say one of the benefits of the AC finity is the alarm. If the temp gets too high it beeps to let you know

They have a lot of products, including other fans and thermostats. I've had their media cabinet fans running 24/7 for 4-5 years now with no problems. Highly recommend it.

Otherwise you could use something like this and a standard 12v power adapter https://www.tindie.com/products/mmm999/dc-12v-four-wire-thermostat-pwm-pc-cpu-fan/

This isn't a joke. Often times rewriting features like this will allow the code to be more streamlined and use the latest KDE library features. This is brining new features using modern and more maintable code that solves long standing issues. Fixing the old code sometimes isn't worth the effort for a variety of reasons (based on unmaintained libraries, the original code might have been written a while ago so it's had many revisions of fixes that necessarily complicated the code, etc.)

When my pixel 5a decided to stop using the screen, I was able to do a full phone backup using the OTG to plug in a keyboard. Ridiculous but was a fun troubleshooting moment

Maybe the most impactful, easiest, and most expensive thing is to get your information off of the internet. There are a few services that do this like incogni but I'd recommend kanary. The gist is they have a list of known data brokers and they send out requests to them, on your behalf, to remove your information from their services.

The command was rm -rf $pathvariable

Bug in the code caused the path to be root. Wasn't explicitly malicious

Did you expose your router login page to the open internet? How'd they get access? Why are you chmoding anything to be 777?

It's disappointing to see so many commentors arguing against you wanting to do this. Windows has it through bitlocker which is secured via the TPM as you know. Yes it can be bypassed, but it's all about your threat level and effort into mitigating it.

I am currently using a TPM on my opensuse tumbleweed machine to auto unencrypt my drive during boot. What you want to do is possible, but not widely supported (yet). Unfortunately, the best I can do is point you to the section in the opensuse wiki that worked for me.

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Encrypted_root_file_system

If you scroll down on that page you'll see the section about TPM support. I don't know how well it will play with your OS. As always, back up all your files before messing with hard drive encryption. Best of luck!

The "real" way needs the corresponding Wayland protocol in order to work. The protocol is under development/review, but involves a lot more moving parts that requires coordination and approval from multiple people. This "fake" way was able to be implemented faster and by fewer people as a stop-gap measure

With temps that high in Linux and Windows, it almost sounds like the AIO water block is falling off the CPU.

Plasma 6 is built using QT 6, currently plasma 5 is using QT5. This is a huge effort to move the code to the new version of QT but it brings many improvements behind the scenes. Once this is done a lot of the code is going to be cleaner and more maintainable, which should translate to a smoother user experience.
