Oh, you try moving from your ravaged country to our haven of stability? No, you don’t. Or only if you let yourself be exploited as an underpaid protoslave.

What has the EU ever done for us?

“I completely understand why someone doesn’t want to commute an hour and a half every day, totally got it. Doesn’t mean they have to have a job here either,” he said.

Takes a special kind of assholes to think that people have no right to their own lifetime.

They like the Nazis. No joke.

😂

Friend of mine runs Linux on a 15 years old cheap consumer laptop, and it’s working smoothly for browsing.

Just try. There’s no risk and no costs trying. Have fun.

That’s in fact the point I was making, in this case about SSDs. Low prices don’t help with reliability as producers use the worse part of a production run for the cheaper brands (friend of mine works for a European based manufacturer of silicon chips, and he can tell stories about the finicky processes around that tiny stuff and how they try to make the most of it).

Your reading comprehension is a bit off - I didn’t write that I only read the title, I wrote that I commented on the title.

The rest of your rant is up to you.

Don’t be scared. Just don’t fall for posts which try to get the impossible. It’s not that difficult.

I commented on the title of your post - nobody with some knowledge in that field (as you claim to have) would phrase that question that way.

Be offended, I can’t change that - but pointing out the obvious may help others to not make the mistake of hoping that there’s cheap good.

There isn’t.

You mean “cheap or reliable”. And even with the better brands it’s always the question not if but when a device will fail.

Nostalgia.

This comes after mankind already has come a long way.

Don’t start a business without a plan to handle all the stuff that is not your product.

If you are good at whatever your product is you are not automatically good at building and leading an enterprise (a company), and that may destroy your ambitions… In other words: Even if you have a very promising product you may fail due to completely unrelated organisational hassles because starting a business will drag you into processes that will drain ressources and your brain for completely different stuff, be it financial, legal, hiring and firing staff, customers (customers…), renting, ordering, offering, paper works, ecology and what not.

This shit can and will hurt, in the core meaning of the word, if you are not prepared.

Your comment made me giggle. Thanks for the fun!

The security breach was caused by idiocy - you don’t use Cisco malware WebEx for discussions about national security.

Those who made them use this crap should be demoted.

You need a lot of company and knowledge and luck to survive without a bigger network (eg a whole country) and without task splitting communities (eg a whole country) supporting the little and big needs just for food, let alone clean water or medicine or hygiene or energy or defense or whatever.

That bunker is just a fancy way to die a little later. He may carry on for a year, maybe even two before lack of everything will kill him - if noone capable attacks that bunker which pretty sure will happen within weeks as it’s a prime target after everything else had been looted.

Does this work with every brand?

Xiaomi is pestering me with a myriad of unwanted and unnecessary apps.

There were some nicely packed boobs. I like boobs.
