Data engineering. Quite a change from my undergrad path.

This explains coloring in space.

Note: there are probably images from the ISS that are taken from normal cameras

Maybe you are talking about the color overlay that they add to images? This explains some of the reason. https://www.lroc.asu.edu/images/192

Edit: just realized this was explain like I'm 5 so I can add a little excerpt.

Not sure exactly what you mean by fake. My biggest guess will be the coloring of the images. Why are space photos always so vivid? This is because the images are color overlayed from a lot of images that are actually taken in single color themselves. Be it black or white, black and blue, etc. Once the individual images are received, they then piece them together go try and mimic the visual humans will see.

Photos are shot in single color because they are easier to process and also much smaller in size. This makes it better for transmitting.

Pretty sure they are talking about the app, not the model.

Also recommend checking out Lollypop for a music player. One of the nicer ones. Also MusicBrainz to help organize and update music and meta data. They should be available in your store

Also neofetch is no longer maintained. You can replace it with fastfetch.

That's a pretty nice set up you got there. Glad it's working out for you. Welcome to the nerdy side, fellow nerd. ๐Ÿค“

Mint, pop_os, even Ubuntu if needed.

Maybe brazzite but haven't tried it.

I'm not from the south and use "y'all" all the time. Find it very useful for filling in a gap that English has and slightly faster than saying "you all". Its gender neutral in my opinion.

Never once thought of it as offensive.

I like Boox but they are on the more pricey side. Basically an android tablet with an e-ink display.

I don't know the details but both use services from the carrier. I think google hosts for the carriers but there are checks thats rely on the carrier. If you look at the details for google messages it address specific URLs based on the carrier.

For iPhone its all carrier depend. If the carrier doesn't support it, iPhone will not have it.

Localsend is a good one to try out. Works with all devices and is pretty fast. It does however require an app to run.

For something you can run off the web on PC you can try pairdrop. This doesn't require an app to work on PC. Haven't tried it without the app on mobile so not sure if it will work on there via web.

I prefer Localsend over pairdrop due to local send being completely server less and all local.
