Unless you're into code golf or other forms of "art", a software developer is first and foremost a craftsperson, depending on the position maybe even an engineer, leader, or scienctist.

Ideally you build things you're proud of, because they're useful and maybe even beautiful and masterfully crafted.

Example devices are: LattePanda Sigma [0] and AsRock Industrial NUCS BOX-1360P [1].

Unfortunately they are quite expensive and enabling in-band ECC lowers performance significantly. So my next server rig will likely have an AMD PRO CPU instead.

To my surprise it was possible to get a code from Microsoft to access the laptop's disk again, as one of the admin accounts was a Microsoft account.

I strongly suspect, Microsoft does only activate Bitlocker during the OOBE if it can set-up this kind of Bitlocker recovery mechanism, storing an (indirect) decryption key at Microsoft.

E.g. the newest NetBSD still supports i486 class processors: https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/i386/

I'm aware that chances of becoming rich as a creator are minimal, but it may develop into a worthwhile hobby with an active community nonetheless. And if I utterly fail, I still have some experiences and a story to tell.

I'm sure success will heavily depend on my personality and the topics I choose. I may not ever reach 10 subscribers. But every shot you don't take is a missed shot.

However, I've seen enough people babbling into a 720p web cam already having a 10k subscription base to assume it's possible to start something without spending whole days every week on the channel.

I mean, what do I loose? 2 to 3 hours per week, half of it for editing? Some $$ for equipment? If I get some 1k subscribers, it's already worth the ongoing effort. If not I can still drop it and look out for another hobby.

If the revenue numbers are right, I'm strongly considering opening my own Youtube channel.

Edit: And if the numbers are right, why are so many mid-sized creators begging people for more money on their Patreon?

Especially chapter 5 with all the nice graphics commands.
