Any second-hand business class laptop that fits your budget, i.e. HP Elitebook/Probook/Zbook, Dell Inspiron/Latitude/XPS, or Lenovo Thinkpad.
Businesses tend to get rid of them after 4 years, even if they’re still in good condition. Great bang for your buck and easily repairable if something does end up breaking.
You’ll have to install Linux yourself, but generally support for older hardware is OK.
IMPORTANT: make sure the BIOS isn’t locked before buying.
Don’t really know about the US, sorry. eBay might be a good place though.

Windows: “I gotchu, fam.”
Jerboa, because it just works and doesn’t overcomplicate things.
Does it work well?
Here in the Netherlands my level of German is widely called “steenkolen Duits” (coal German) because it’s course, harsh, hard and dirty)
That’s actually not the etymology. Steenkolenduits (spelled without a space) is a riff on steenkolenengels, which was the basic/broken English spoken by dockworkers with sailors on incoming British coal ships (steenkolenboten).
AFAIK you don’t have to use it as a router. If you configure all the interfaces to LAN it should just act as a switch/AP combo.
I think OP is referring to NAT hairpinning though.
IME those can be unreliable though, and they’re barely cheaper than Zigbee bulbs
Or they just expend their effort on the browsers that 96% of people use and not the one that 4% use. I love Firefox, but I don’t think this is the conspiracy you’re claiming it is.
You definitely shouldn’t need to do that, one account is enough.
Maybe you’re confused because communities can be on different instances (servers). But you don’t need to make an account on those instances, because all the instances are federated together. That means you can just have your account on one instance and follow and participate in all your communities from there.
Between 6-10 hours of what?
edit: oh, you mean the xkcd, LOL. Well let me know if it works out for you haha
You really just need, like, a screwdriver set to get into most laptops. Maybe you can search online (e.g. on YouTube) for tutorials for your model. Then you can buy a replacement fan and also replace the thermal paste, because 13-year-old thermal paste surely isn’t doing you any favors in the performance department. Altogether it shouldn’t cost more than €50 (if you’re careful not to break any internals).
BTW, if you want to watch YouTube videos with less resources, you can also copy the video URL into VLC
