That is true, I do not miss the old ports, but I want it to be replaced by the same amount of new ports.

Apple reported to say that you don’t need to use the power button because Mac Mini is not required to shut off.

Stage 1. I want Trump dead in office, like asap.

Stage 2. I am terrified of a President Vance.

Stage 3. I want Trump live another few years.

Months to get that perfect shade of orange.

The kids surviving this

You innocent child, Israel is making sure there’s no kids surviving this.

Both is terrifying, I rather not have the option to pick.

Can the individual soldiers just give up and leave?

the parents are at work for too long to do any real parenting

This 100%.

Good point

China is doing pretty okay with it.

To be honest, I am Chinese and that easily can be a legit Chinese name.

Quite a bit actually. Traditionally, only those who wishes “freedom” would contact outside, then there people who work with foreign companies/individuals, any tech who work in IT would need vpn, those who came back from studying aboard, and newly, theres celebrity fans who use vpn only to follow their favorite celebrity.

Another country joined Chinas tactics.

Same, I have a 2012 laptop, just added RAM recently, with ssd replaced few years back. Boots in seconds.

Unless you are Chinese user, which means you are double fucked.

To unlock your phone, you need to:

1. Level 5 Xiaomi Forum Level (Gonna take half a year if you only check in daily, if you post and replies, then its tiny bit faster.)
2. Make an appointment for the Unlocking Permission Test (random dates, xiaomi is also slowly/quietly limiting the number of test dates)
3. Pass the test (timed, broad range/difficult technical questions, akin to a 300 level college exam that you’re not given any materials to study for)
4. If you pass, you’re only allow to unlock 3 phones per year.

But hey, if you bought the phone outside of China (or simply not Chinese version), then you don’t have to do any of those except wait for 68 hours. Fuck the Chinese users eh (Chinese version also has a lot more bloatwares, the apps that you download from xiaomi app store also more invasive (more permission) than google play versions).

“early” voting implies theres another round of voting. Correct?

Google and China does not get along (Google is completely blocked in China due to it refusing to back down on China’s demand to regulate search results (ie: remove all websites that intentionally paints China in a negative light)),

Chromecast is rather useless in China

How can you stream shows when you’re not connected to the internet? Everythnig is streaming these days.

I have replaced the default launcher, removed bloated apps through adb. The only ads I see are upon entering app, which is something I currently cant do anything about, but a press of button would make it go away.

only legal in the US

Wrong, modern Chinese tvs are filled with ads. Its been on the news several times, and has some minor regulation since then. Before, you get ads upon turning on the tv, more when loaded to the launcher, not to mention ads during shows, and finally ads when you shut off the tv. Currently, theres only ads when loaded to launcher.

People have been trying to get rid of the ads through root, replacing the launcher, editing the host file to block ad ips.

Its a mess.

I’d never use it for anything security related, or as my main OS

Agree, my main OS is a linux, Tiny11 is only for work (work requires windows softwares, which doesnt run on wine)
