Okay then go use a vpn and buy YouTube premium from turkey it’s £13 a year that’s what I did.

Depends on the time of the year,

During the summer I’d have one before and after work, during winter once a day or once every two days

They do not work as well no, take for example if I buy an android phone + a Samsung watch + Sony headphones and run them together you know what happened last time. The Samsung watch broke the Sony headphones touch controls because of the apps not integrating properly.

That’s the kind of it just works apple phones don’t deal with, I work with phones daily and the amount of people I see return android phones compared to iPhones is not even funny

Try to as a normal non technical user get a random £200-300 android phone repaired that isn’t Samsung and then try to get an iPhone repaired and see the cost difference

If anything that’s nonsense, iPhones are cheaper and easier to get repaired and far less to failure and I say this as someone who runs a store that sells phones.

Because the phones just fucking work

I’d only change one thing and say most of the problems for Iran started because of the UK/US being imperialistic and has never recovered as a result

So I was one of those back in 06 and I’m in my mid to late 30s now.

I don’t use Facebook anymore and stopped using Facebook a decade ago because of all the timeline changes.

My guess is they’ve continued to make the timeline stuff worse and worse and that’s why people stop posting cause you don’t actually see each others posts half the time it’s filled with random suggested shit.

The 200-300 range has been dead really since the 5600xt and the crypto boom.

Second hand at the 400 mark they’re insane with the 6800XT

It was the case prior to 2015 or so before the amd open source drivers actually became good.

They didn’t exist prior to 2014. Amd also required proprietary drivers and were a significantly worse experience than Nvidia back then.

I’m half way on that journey, went from Rpi4 to M2 Mac Mini to host docker stuff and god knows how much in hard drives.

Really should look at used ones

And that is exactly why I bought an M2 Air this year, price vs performance nothing beats the MacBooks at the moment.

I have never understand exactly what it is that people need/desire/require out of Firefox that they find missing but which a Chrome based browser is providing them.

The ability to log into any computer on chrome and load my profile, which gives access to my bookmarks and passwords.

As someone who has 4 chrome profiles due to work remote managing 3 of them that I use daily, Firefox will never be able to handle that.

if Firefox had some sort of cloud sync that wasn’t oh hey you need to have multiple devices to make it work and just gave you a way to do it through the browser properly with even a paid option that would help.

That hasn’t really been my experience, talking to a lot of people tends to seem like most people seem closer to my age 30s with an interest in tech or a tech background.

I haven’t really run into many teenagers in discussions.

When my m2 air is eventually supported by linuxbproperly the debian installation will happen.

I used IRC daily religiously for 15 years, but around 2011 I just stopped and never got back into using it. The client of choice was Xchat.

Cause I use an Apple TV and an iPhone?

For YouTube premium I just did the whole vpn to turkey and pay for a year upfront which was like £12 for the year

Apple Pay every day, and before that Google Pay. I haven’t really used cash in years.

There’s a very rare exception for like one store I visit that requires cash with an ATM next-door so I just pay by cash then but otherwise I’m using my phone/watch for all payments.

Well there’s the fact that it’s somewhat true as for example if you use a chromium based browser on Linux hardware acceleration isn’t enabled by default and borderline doesn’t work a lot of the time.

Doesn’t sound so bad till you realise what it does to battery life on a laptop.

I love Linux and we are so close but it’s small things like that, which prevent me getting friends and family to use it consistently.
