“Vendor lock-in” is the backbone philosophy for the entire company and literally every single product and service it has ever created.

I had a very similar experience with the ipod and avoid everything apple ever since.

ITunes did install on my windows laptop (wondering why i had to do that tho, why couldn’t i just drag my mp3’s to the device folder??), but it was still an instant locked-in experience. Whatever went into iTunes/ipod seemed near impossible to get back out. Mp3 in, gibberish out. Encoded to some apple © tm format, lost into the void. Coming from a normal mp3-player that was very unexpected and unpleasant.

The only thing I liked about it was the (hardware) wheel.

There’s really great deals on 2nd hand computers because of win11 tho…

Especially the HDMI and jack are just silly to drop.

They’ll only have the “medicinal” tea if even more Lüften didn’t do the trick

Of all possible next targets he could choose, Finland , Norway or Sweden would be the dumbest ever. These countries are prepared, always have been. It would be fucking hard, even without NATO. The next targets would more likely be other not well affiliated countries like Moldova, Georgia. Then Baltics.

The people you meet while travelling are not the average people. The average American never travels to another state, let alone to other continents… Same is true for many people in many countries: Asians visiting Europe are top % of population in wealth and brains. It’s dissapointing and depressing but fox probably gives you a more true picture of average Americans than Americans you meet while travelling.

Even if you’ld wait until rain stops and even if you don’t go off road: there’s puddles on bike paths after it has rained!

German homes are relatively okay insulated. Very remote: burn wood or some sort of wood pellet stuff. Not clean, but it is local and renewable. Less remote: heat pumps, runs on electricity. Cities: many are planning/extending heat nets, those can be partially powered by left over heat from industry. And import nuclear electricity from France in winter I guess!

I agree but not on the debt free part. Mortgage loan at 1,45%, savings rate at 2,4 %: I’ll not try to get out of that debt sooner than planned, thank you very much :')

Newpipe breaks very often for me. Freetube breaks less

Yes, in a similar way, north Korea is closer to being a monarchie than anything else. Totalitarian monarchy.

Exactly what I’m looking for! I’ld like back sleeping but with a slightly tilted, side supported head. Lean head all the way = neck pain. Head straight = can’t fall asleep. I’ve tried stuff with backsleeping+ side support for leaning the head, but the extra pillow on the head side isn’t strong enough (doesn’t last) and it all gets too hot around the head.

Some say they caught the bullet on camera. What a time to be alive!

In Germany they sometimes put solar on the south side of historic trash hills. Seems like a good idea I can’t think of downsides.

Who? Who would be capable of gathering the trump support and getting enough votes? Part of the right wing powerful 1 guy thingy is this: 1 guy. Take the guy away, and you have no idea what would happen and if someone else would manage to keep the gathered power going and maybe gather even more. Would be very different if trump were president when it happened, then the power is formalised and the takeover by another supervillain easier, but during campaign that would be quite the feat and I’m really wondering who would have been capable of it.
