My Brave had a "hiccup" last night, and failed to load after the Machine (Fedora 41) booted. I had shut down while connected to my Home Network. I was now booting at work, on our "dirty" Network, which is Starlink as an ISP. The error message when attempting to launch brave from a Terminal gave me the "Account is locked .." error message. There were ZERO error messages in the GUI. Apparently, Brave didn't shut down correctly, or something hiccupped due to the change of Network. Either way, it took a while to find this, and a couple of other Posts, all saying to remove the singleton file. It fixed the issue, and Brave launched. I'll have to see if the error can be produced again on my home Network now. Just a heads up for a bug from this Brave Update.

Suggest everyone using Brave read this entire Article (all Posts). The problem is still open.

Oof: the OnePlus Watch 3 is finally available in the US again after it was pulled to fix the "Meda in China" typo...but it now costs $499 (!) instead of $329.99!

When asked why, OnePlus refused to comment, but we can all probably guess why...
