One of the media players I used (on Android) had a bug in which it was susceptible to getting put to sleep when in the background - it would promptly be reawakened by the player service, but that would cause a glitch each time (especially at the transition between tracks). Once I removed the player from the power optimization list, the glitches evaporated entirely. Maybe something to look into, since it's a different cause than the three on your list?

In the context of REST, idempotency is about duplicate requests not causing the system state to change further after the first request. For example, a POST might create a new resource each time, whereas a PUT would replace an existing resource. The POST changes the system with each call & created resource (not idempotent), whereas PUT likely wouldn't change the resource if the same content was PUT repeatedly (idempotent).

Idempotency provides resilience against messages that might be repeated (e.g., at-least-once delivery).

Idempotent operations are also typically structured as absolute, not relative data.

For example, a bank might send a message "set balance to $100", not "subtract $10 from balance" - if the message is repeated, the correct result is still obtained.

I thought athletes used sodium bicarbonate to buffer the production of lactic acid during anaerobic activity. I've never heard of it as a stimulant. Can you provide a source for that mechanism?

No. Password managers are applicable beyond browser & android environments. Beyond that, other products provide features & UX that may be preferred, and some companies require a specific password manager (and forbid the use of Google's offerings).

Yeah, it's annoying, but it takes all of 5 minutes to disable all the tips/tricks/suggestions/hints/etc... They're all easily changed in the settings and taskbar menus. Then install Brave, or whatever browser you prefer. Not that much of a barrier to what is otherwise a solid (and still quite healthy...) daily-driver OS, though I agree it's definitely leaning heavy on the dark patterns for users who aren't sufficiently informed to know they're all configurable.

I find 'passionately-focused' works for me - channel your energy into visible productivity, team uplift, prof dev, etc... When your energy becomes a distration to others, or aimed in a direction not supporting the workplace goals, it does show a lack of personal discipline and detracts from your coworkers' opinion.
