8chan is quite close to what you described. Although the anonymity-first censorship-resistance thing might give you more than you bargained for once you get there.

Colleges in the US have a broad range of incentives to charge the highest acceptable market rate (which is usually between $55k and $85k for undergraduate tuition).
As I side note, I agree that the most popular email providers are sorely lacking the friendliness that they used to have. So many of them require mobile phone activation and expire early, which is super unhelpful if you want a throw-away account.
Most people are talking about various valid use cases but it's this risk vector that I'm interested in. What exactly could a VPN steal from regular personal computing network traffic? Cookies and sessions? Web history and other meta-data? Does HTTPS / up-to-date encryption protocols stop any of this?
Tl;dr: I, for one, welcome our robot overlords (so long as they don't behave like our robot overlords).

Q3: The 31 day deadline is to free-up space once a user has settled down with Win10. Advanced users can work around this [2].
I can’t answer all these questions unfortunately! Q1 and Q5 are fairly subjective - I think it's up to you to form your own opinion on those.

This linkedin feature has always been a pure money grabbing ploy with no merit other than the premium revenues generated from exploiting the emotional vulnerability of people and #growthinghacking needs of recruiters.

A young law-hopeful will face insane competition to get the relevant work experience and eventually get on a vacation scheme (2% success rate) [1]. Here they will do 2-4 weeks work with the firm they want to apply for.
Next, they need to apply again to receive a full training contract at that firm. Competition for these is even tougher (~0.5-1%).
Now, as part of the graduate intake (training contract) this person will be one ~100. Here are where well educated, nervous, fresh-faced young staff become the firm’s best workers - it's basically a two-year job interview. At the end of the two years, around 70 will be hired by the firm as new lawyers. From there another 20 will parachute[2] out per year. Of my brother's 35-person intake at a magic circle firm only two remain seven years on; many are in completely different fields. Around one person per intake will make it to the top - by this point they are the 1% of the 1% of the 1%. The entire business is structured to concentrate wealth in the hands of as few people as possible, with ludicrous hourly rates that junior staff never see, rigid seniority levels and the illusion of prestige.

[2] A popular term in the field referring to the ease in which a lawyer working at a prestigious firm can move in to something less prestigious and a whole-lot more rewarding somewhere else. I met people applying for top firms with the sole intention of doing this.
A person is an incredibly complex array of both discriminatory and nondiscriminatory features. A tall, poor African American with a really great support network might actually face less discrimination than a fat, middle-class European American who has that one goofy ear. It's just impossible try and rectify this after the fact. Stopping negative discrimination in the first place is not just a better solution, it's the only solution.
It's still only one sort of business strategy. Not every hardware company is necessarily pursuing this line.
