My folded phone is worse in every way to a regular phone. It is a gimmick.

May not be one day but currently not there.

Yeah I tried. I actually couldn’t get a real support agent and eventually the refund period auto triggered cause the seller couldn’t figure out how for me to return it.

eBay doesn’t care. They just want their little piece.

I bought from eBay recently and I got a package from Amazon. I don’t buy from either anymore.

And they gameified it by making it if you got someone else to sign up you both got insane coupons to make stuff that they were selling as loss leaders even cheaper and get enough and you could get it for free.

It made it a race to get the most people to sign up for the app as the very rare person got a switch for free for being better than any advertisement.

They must have been bleeding money for the name recognition. I still think their name equals trash.

Yeah, everyone is “a business owner” by selling temu crap all over the place now.

Even farmers markets with wealthy looking white people selling garbage mugs and tchotchkes that are all clearly from China.

Someone else did all the work and they think they are special for pushing it on others. Heck so many ads these days are for sites selling the shovels in this gold rush for making your own drop shipping site on tiktok. What else is Shopify?

Yes!

This is the way. Why pay double for eBay or Amazon to ship me stuff from AliExpress anyways for like 5 day faster shipping at best.

But only for the same garbage that they will sell anyways. Shoes are leather and can be fixed and have been at a cobbler for like $40 to new. Clothing should be bought once and last at least a year if not much much longer. So I buy from better brands in person if possible.

I don’t get why I should pay Amazon to be a shitty middle man that is trying to destroy the world more for my crap.

And you have to be a jerk apparently.

You immediately assumed people needed to have multiple pieces of hardware when some can’t even afford past what their job provides, being able to have a separate and dedicated machine is still privileged.

You got immediately defensive and felt you had to rush to defend the dangerous question because you thought I might have been snarky when asking? What the hell?!

And you are still doing it!

Being rude is asking you to explain why we should have a second device running Linux?

And you wonder why there is an adoption problem with that OS.

No but if you need a windows machine for work then what is the purpose of having a second device running Linux? Like actually.

My point still stands. The topic sure is about Linux and windows 10/11 but I still stand by,
“why have a second device I won’t use, on second hardware I had to buy, that I can’t use cause it doesn’t run my apps optimally?”

Cause that just sounds like I should own one so I can say I have a Linux device for you guys.

You said we should own a non powerful personal Linux machine but didn’t give a reason why? Why should we have an extra device running Linux if we already have the needed windows. Downvote me sure but give logic not personal desires

Right ok… But what’s on the other PC for the linux OS? And why should we bother having another one on a different OS assuming we can afford extra hardware?

The end goal seems to be to get everyone to have a Linux PC still even if people can’t use it effectively.

Edit for clarity I don’t get the purpose of the second PC running Linux if you already have the main work PC running windows cause you need it.

You know what’s shocking? I did. I ruined my desktop trying to set it up with some web server functions and wiping it somehow got rid of the license.

And so I paid to get rid of the watermark… boo!

There you go one last scary story for the season.

I dunno there is the dating app were it’s supposedly only has famous people on it and you pay and submit an application to get likely lotteried to maybe but probably not go on a date with one of the like 5 famous guys on there I think they pay to be on there.

President Joe Biden created ARPA-H in 2022, as an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, to pursue what he called  “bold, urgent innovation”

I did not see Biden creating a cloning and immortality medical research arm of the government but I guess it’s proof he already knew he was getting old before the debate and no wonder Trump wants back in the white house.

Oh yeah. I fled the state after my rent went from $1,500 to $2,700 a few years ago, with no work having been put into the shithole that I had to syphon dirty water from the air conditioner by hand to keep it from overflowing.

I can’t even imagine the convoluted thoughts that lead to thinking these places are fair to be priced like that. But you get your loan evaluation on your properties based on how much you charge for rent so suddenly it makes a lot more sense.

In Florida I toured a place that I thought was a house to rent but ended up being one of 7 apartments spread across the house, garage, and guest house. Literally the bathroom was in the kitchen and the hallway just had dry wall separating it in half. The stair well for one of the units was just nailed poorly to the outside of the house and wasn’t covered at all.

Incant imagine what parking would have been like.

Agreed on the hatred towards landlords.

No wonder they changed her to Romani, they got tired of all the questions from The Tribe asking for her mother’s geneology to prove she was Jewish.

I swear Hollywood has an addiction to those big eyed weirdos because they are a kinda pretty that isn’t exactly normal pretty and it makes you remember their face for triggering your uncanny valley reflex.

Yea I agree with so much of what you are saying, China gets a pass to distribute cheap dangerous crap cause at least it was cheaper for the middle man selling it.

Enmasse its another French loan word.

What are you doing in my room country step bro Germany?
