Does DDG still have the same upward trend that they used to before Brave caught on?

Native Firefox? I would suggest using Librewolf or Icecat.

Are Honey’s and Mello worth the price? I went to Cartems once and I never went back because of the price.

I’m concerned that fresh made donuts, no pre-mix, are becoming a rare special treat due to how expensive they’re becoming. At a certain point the taste of something does not justify the cost.

Minifree is between double to triple the price of the same laptop on eBay. Libreboot is strictly an ideological matter, it doesn’t help with privacy if software installed isn’t configured a certain way and also what software is installed.

BIOS is not the bacldoor is. Also, if you don’t build your on router, you can’t garauntee who your router is sending packets to. Also DNS makes a different. Libreboot does not provide the protection think it does.

It doesn’t help that Libreboot laptops are at least 10 years old. Those are some low resolution LCD screens compared the LED and full hi-def.

A T570 on eBay or where you can find it.

You should look at benchmarks in 2 weeks between the 770 and 4060 after it is released. Your 3600 is going to hurt performance if you buy really high end. In today’s money, the price of the 4060 matches the original price of the 1060 6GB.

Beyond a new GPU, I would suggest building a whole new computer. If I can partially guess, I would say the 4 core i3 121000 would beat your 3600. I do know that the 12100 matches the 6 core i7 8700K.

One option is buy the best GPU you have extra money to spend on, and then in a year buy build a Ryzen 8000 system when those get released and then put your new GPU in your next system.

To give you an idea about performance, the 4060 Ti beats the 1080 Ti.

You can live at ease with not having any debt weighing on you.

I was thinking maybe you could do a 4 core i3 13100, B660 board, 16GB DDR4, and RX 7600.

That would beat a 8700K and Radeon 580.

Both of those statements stand on their own, one does not cancel the other, so there is no contradiction.

In fact, one statement holds true with the other.

How old is your system? Would it not be inexpensive enough for you to build a new cheap system for a performance upgrade? What hardware do you need to have a fully functional system working again?
