I believe one of Graphene OS's main features is that they allow you to run google play services in a sandboxed environment, so you can run your standard google apps but without the standard android deal where google play services has unfetteted access to all your phone's location/data/etc info

The much greater risk is burnt meat like chargrilled chicken etc. Yes sure, burnt toast is carcinogenic, but relatively speaking it's not going to cause much harm.

What ddr5 speed are you running? 6000 is technically an over clock, AMD only guarantees being able to run at something like 4800 or 5200.

You may need to bump up voltages slightly for your CPU's IMC (I needed to on my ryzen 8700F to run 6000 stable). Its CPU sample dependant.

Also as other commenter pointed out, typically 4 sticks will achieve lower stable clocks

Some people simply have better hearing than others.

Also, you can train yourself for what to listen for, to a point.

ReactOS also deserves an honorary mention. A lot of knowledge from that project feeds into Wine.

Unfortunately it's the only viable (if only somewhat) non-blink web engine that is designed to be easily embedded in other software.

I don't know why, but architecturally Mozilla has gone down the route of making gecko tied to Firefox, and not easily embeddable.

This is compounded by modern lifestyle factors such as staying indoors more, keeping the windows closed to help the aircon/heating be more efficient, etc.

I think a lot of people would be surprised at the CO2 level in different indoor environments they spend time in each day.

It's not just an assumption, there is research that shows this.

For example: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/as-co2-levels-ris...

More specifically, yes, protein content decreases with rising CO2 levels. Maybe not enough to cause obesity on its own, but enough to be a compounding factor. Especially when your staple is, say, rice -- which is what the paper linked above looks at.

I think for Firefox to be successful in breaking free from google funding is to make gecko easily embeddable in other apps, ala WebKit / electron / etc. I think it would get more funding from a wider variety of independent parties that way. Unfortunately they seem to have gone in the opposite direction... Although I am sure they have their reasons.
