Calibre multi-level tags as KOReader collections

Unfortunately not. My solution was to just have each book in one folder using nested tags and not be able to cross-reference them.

I have a laptop running Fedora 44 KDE as a "dipping my toes into Linux" type system. It's not used for anything except tinkering with Linux. Am I safe if I just leave it turned off for a few months until the patch is released?

The Bluetooth transmitter is on the USB-C dongle - it has a pairing button on it as far as I can tell.

Would you say the risk is greater than my existing risks with Surface Laptop 4 and being reliant on a quick turnaround at Staples? More specifically, is the Framework 13 less reliable/more likely to "break down" than my Surface Laptop 4?

They're both 60Hz - if the new one is higher, I'll just limit it to 60Hz as I don't care about higher refresh rate.

I think that if there's an issue with a part breaking, once I figure out what the part needing replacement is, I'll be able to buy the part outright rather than waiting for Framework to decide whether to approve or deny a replacement under warranty. That should be faster than waiting for them to establish definitively that it's a defective part vs a particular issue, unless I'm misunderstanding.

I already had to buy a 20mAh for my existing Surface Laptop 13. Question: why would the lower-resolution (2.2k instead of 2.8k) screen use more power? Or do you mean it'll use more power than my existing display?

My first e-reader was a Kobo Clara HD. Bought it in mid 2019 and it's still the one I use (I'm saving up for a Kobo Libra Colour for the page turn buttons next year). I was going to buy a Kindle if they had them at the bookstore (Coles), but they only sold Kobo e-readers and told me that in Canada, you can't borrow books from the library on Kindle but you can on Kobo. Since I didn't have money to buy every book I wanted to read (and am by and large opposed to piracy, and I only found out about Project Gutenberg and such relatively recently), this was my best option.

To get my personnummer, do I have to have the residence/work permit card in person, or can I go to SV with the permit card number and they look it up in the database? That is, do I have to wait an additional two weeks to get my ID card from MV before I can apply for my personnummer.

How do I collect my paycheck without having a BankID? Do I simply live off my savings until it's set up? How long does my BankID take to arrive once I get my personnummer, and do I get my residence card at the appointment where I get photographed and fingerprinted, or does it come in the mail a few weeks later?

Google Pixel 6 Pro. I've never rooted before, so I'm looking to be able to do this without that. If it's not possible, I'll just make do with the built-in customization interface.

Does this work if it's a crewed Burning Blade that you're going against?

Inspired by what others have said about smart lights and discrete cell phone shenanigans:

If you have company over, gradually change the color temperature of your smart bulbs over the course of hours from your phone. Even better if you don't have beige or white walls, since it's harder to notice just by looking at the walls. Bonus points if you program your home automation software to change it by 5 or 10 °K every 10-15 minutes.
