Which is true only in the rare case you only have one office that everyone is in. As soom as you don’t have everyone in the same room teams is better. So once you have more than 50 people

Only if there is a monoboly in place. If there is a market then when they raise rents you just go elsewhere. Since these are items rented by the day it isn’t hard to go elslwhere in the city.

drive the retail areas of town and look for the rental signs. yellow pages. They want to be found by locals so look in the places locals might. hardware stores either rent stuff or will tell you if you ask.

There are pros and cons to both. Sometimes you should rent, others buy. If you use it every day then buying is often best. If you need it once a decade then rent.

There always have been some around. Not all diy stores have one but there is always one near from what I’ve seen. People keep discovering them and thinking they are new.

I have needed a new phone every 2 for the last 6 years because my old one physically broke. Battery might be good, but the screen is cracked: new phone. My last phone quit recognizing the SIM, and so new phone it is. In theory I can buy the parts to repair the phone, but in practice either the parts are obsolete and not stocked, or I can get them special order from China if I’m willing to wait weeks and pay half the price of a new phone. Then hope I actually manage to get the phone together again.

I live in the US where we use many weird by world standards frequencies. I’ve looked into various repairable phones, (fair phone, pine phone), but I quickly realize I often travel in parts of the US where they won’t work. Thus I’m stuck with what my carrier offers. (Apple might be more repairable, but apparently more locked down)

I’m not saying give up. There are answers, just not easyones.

Not hard to trace down who is seeding a torrent and deal with them.

The bigger proplem is copyright. Google will fight for ‘their’ creators if they discover you archiving anything. They don’t own copyrights but will tell the court that if the creator wanted their content on peertube they would have put it there.

I’m not asking that. I’m asking you to find the good content when it is there and wetch that instead. I do watch youtube when I’m out of interesting things on peertube but peertube gets first obportunity for my eyes.

There is more cntent than you hake time to watch. Look to peertube and suyport what is there.

When tech gets better so fast there is no point. we just haven’t adjust to the era of more mhz every year and so now buying to last is useful as you won’t get an upgrade from new.

They generally have a large part of their net worth in company stock and are getting options. Thus long term matters.

Often execs stick around longer than that.

The problem with large customers is they can see value and if you charge too much it goes they can build their own.
