If you already don’t use Google apps, and your bank app doesn’t ban graphene, there shouldn’t be any issues at all tbh

Fairphone would need to substantially modify their hardware to make that work

Yes, I’m talking about the state owned companies versus both private companies and individual landlords, rents with the state owned ones are like 20% or more lower than the others and they are usually more responsive to fixing problems, don’t play too many games

But I totally agree rents are way out of control the last few years

Yes, that’s ideal. In Germany (where there is a culture much more oriented towards renting than owning) there are a lot of state run landlords and they are great to rent from, reasonable rents, reasonable to deal with (in the local context), etc. And of course they have good laws to protect tenants to back it up. Not necessarily a perfect system but definitely one the rest of the world can learn from. Unfortunately things are still heading in the wrong direction there too right now.

If you want 100:1 you start negotiating at 1:1

Not to mention that the people doing most of the real labour to get e.g. clothes made and into shops work in sweatshops in poor countries and earn a tiny fraction of these salaries

I guess they have to be the same, so they all have to be the maximum width of anything you might want to put in there.

The mac comes with 256 GB though, and 256 > 1

Support for M1 and M2 is pretty good now but M3 is not quite there yet and it’ll probably be years before everything works nicely on M4, sadly

Don’t worry, people here yell at you for not using profane language because “you can swear on the internet”, they’re a weird bunch.

Sure, I agree

Agreed with the privacy concerns but

So, 15s saved per person. Which is handy, but 25 seconds fits squarely in the “blazing fast” category anyway.

This is huge when there are five 787s worth of people in line for ten passport control machines, it’s the difference between waiting half an hour in line or five minutes.

It is the standard means of passport control in Europe and UK, just with the passport added, but all by machine. Once they are convinced the biometrics are good enough they’ll do this too to speed things up.

Everest is a bit unique in that regard since, as the highest peak, by definition it can’t have any higher peaks within any contour around it.

He probably understands much more than what he can say, production is always the hardest part of language learning. I’m sure saying something nice with a smile is unlikely to be taken the wrong way.

Calling them emperors for a little while but not changing anything else isn’t anything like independence

Ask a serf from tsarist imperial (for the pedants) Russia?

(it did though)

Building massive production capacity to replace all the cars just locks us in to having cars though

Common sense is that people who want to steal the cash in your pocket don’t want a murder charge, and the percentage who would get violent when it isn’t even profitable is vanishingly small

The idea that robbery and “slitting your throat” are the same kind of crime is absolutely insane, what’s next, if you jaywalk you’re probably a murderer too?
