If someone had physical access to your phone and wanted to disable without actually exploiting it for their own gain in any way, they could just smash it on the ground... There's always a risk if you're installing sketchy apps from the play store, and frankly I think there are bigger risks than...

The speakers will work with that receiver, but you could overload the receiver if you turn up the volume too loud.

Either: a) you've set the boot priority wrong, such that the drive with OS installed is not first b) the laptop is not detecting the drive with the OS for some reason c) there aren't any drives with an OS installed, or the OS installation is corrupted/damaged. Is this a new laptop? Did it only...

The temperatures in your PC aren't nearly high enough.

Yes, as long as the voltage is the same and the current is the same or higher you're fine. Wattage is just voltage x current.

Visible/audible sparks, smoke, burning smells, flames, breaker tripping, laptop wouldn't turn on/charge. That kind of stuff. It's unlikely to go unnoticed.

The only way your PC would produce ozone is if something is arcing (short circuiting), the PSU would probably be the most likely culprit if this was happening. But the only way anything in your PC or PSU is short circuiting is if it's malfunctioning, and if it were malfunctioning like that there...

You're fine.

Do you have any reason to suspect that your laptop, or anything else in your house, is producing dangerous levels of ozone? There are a million things that can cause cancer. Hell, the sun can cause cancer.

What sound card do you have?

Check thermal margin with AMD Overdrive. Are you doing anything in particular when it freezes?

What exact docking station do you have? It sounds like it has a USB C connection, can you not just connect it to your desktop and see it if works? If your desktop doesn't have USB C, a USB A to C cable isn't expensive. If you connect your desktop to the docking station over USB, you will no...

Read the "origin" section of that wikipedia page. Sounds like there was a practical reason to do so at one point early on in the history of computer science, and it sort of just stuck around and became a convention.

It's called zero indexing or zero-based numbering, it's not uncommon, especially in computer science I believe. For instance, in many programming languages if you have an array the initial element in that array would have an index of zero. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering
