Most hotels are terrible and even block any DNS configurations that aren’t controlled by them. If you do figure out a way, can you update your original post?

Is this teaching us not to dual boot and to have separate devices?

100%. I think most university degrees are for the social aspect, which is not to be ignored

Many courses are free and books can be purchased outside of university

Individual financial cost has nothing to do with my comment

“College is needed” comments are so weird in a field that can be done on an island with a solar battery. CS isn’t medicine or engineering, and the field is so young that requiring a “formal education” most likely will have negative effects of teaching poor practices that are not up to date

Good luck!
