How detailed would the memory of past lives be? If it's good enough, school would be very different, if not obsolete.
We would also have a lot more answers, or at least a consensus, on natural and anthropological history.

Everything that was destroyed by leaking alkaline cells or stripping the battery door screws. LR44-powered toys were the worst.
It's good that we don't use mercury in button cells anymore, but it was exactly mercury that inhibited the off-gassing reaction that eventually leads to leakage.
Looks like it's made by a third party: https://www.telemessage.com/tag/tm-sgnl-android-installation-upgrade-guide/
Probably just paranoid, but I can't fall asleep if I leave my devices charging. There's a nagging fear of the battery going up in flames while I'm asleep.
My monitor had a bright blue power LED smack in the middle of the lower bezel. I took it apart on day one and brutally ripped out the LED, only then did I ever connect it to my computer.
Maybe a bit niche, but in higher level math courses, instructional material often seems out-of-touch, written by professionals for professionals. Inconsistent notation between authors and unexplained symbols in equations are also royal pains in the ass.
Chicago95 XFCE on Debian is my daily driver. Having been a Windows 2000 fanboy, it makes me feel right at home.
The Raleigh GTK theme ported to GTK 3 on XFCE is also a quick and dirty way to get a 90s-esque look: https://github.com/thesquash/gtk-theme-raleigh
For an entire distro, there's Hot Dog Linux: https://github.com/arthurchoung/HOTDOG
Many of them are single-issue Linux users and don't concern themselves with FOSS philosophy
Also have been using Debian for the past 3 years. It just works on all of my machines and comes with just enough features to make life easy. Also love the variety of packages and compatibility with pretty much anything I need that isn't in the official repo.
Many would beg to differ but I love how stable and predictable it is. I have a very particular taste in UI and the less work to maintain that cozy look, the better. Having been a holdout on old Windows versions in the years before I moved to Linux, getting new features at all is already very exciting. I had thought for several years that nothing would beat the comfort and reliability of Windows 2000, but Debian proved me wrong.
If just using the Live CD counts, Lubuntu 12.04, to copy files off a broken Windows machine
Then Ubuntu, followed by Deepin (looked cool), UbuntuDDE, Arch, Xubuntu, and finally settled on Debian in 2022.
In my experience, KDE can run just fine, but it is seemingly pickier about drivers and hardware (I've had a loose DisplayPort connection crash it several times) than other desktop environments.
I'm more or less forced to, how I wish I could pay it just like another bill rather than some complicated guess-and-file game.
I also want the government to give me an itemized list, to a reasonable extent, of where my taxes are going. As a thought exercise, I added "taxation theft" to my yearly budget, which I currently calculate as over a third of my taxes. That's my best estimate of the taxes I'm paying to bomb innocent civilians halfway across the globe, among other uses I would not approve of.
I wish I lived in a country that takes better care of its taxpayers so I wouldn't have to care about the tax I pay.
