I believe the FairPhone is pretty solid.

Not as good, but Apple stuff is a big step up from Google and Samsung stuff wrt spying.

Depends on what the deployment is, if it is just airstrikes or even limited ground operations to break a few things and leave, no reason for it to be a forever war.

Note: I have made zero statements about that being something I would support.

The person I replied to should not label those people the enemy then. As I said, he is painting with much too wide of a brush.

Median household income in Colorado Springs is $83k/yr. Said 3 bedroom home for $265k is quite affordable on $83k/yr.

unless you have a fully remote job

And if this is the case, you are doing even better and have a shitload more options.

you have to choose more slum-y areas

Here is a random home I found after only a few seconds of looking. 3 bedroom home in Colorado Springs for $265k. Easily affordable at the stated $100k/yr income.

You can’t afford to buy a single family home on $100k/yr in my area.

you have to choose more slum-y areas

Lots of homes are easily affordable with that income. Buy elsewhere.

Those who live off property (aka others’ labour) are.

This is everyone with a 401(k) for retirement. Ie, what they will be loving off of. Not sure why you are labeling the vast majority of people the enemy…

Hell, since you are including ‘other’s labour’, then this would also include anyone living off Social Security, a pension, disability, etc. All of that money comes from other’s labour.

Your brush is way, way, way too broad. You have marked almost everyone the enemy at some point in their lives.

from a, a coworker and b, a manager

A coworker and a manager at your company gave you advice about your job?

If that is the case, you should take it seriously. Make sure you know why they think their suggestion is better than what you are doing. You don’t know everything, there is a darn good chance they are trying to make you better at your job.

If it isn’t about your job, you should still make sure you know why they think their suggestion is better than what you are doing. Other people do know things you don’t.

I normally just cut it in half and scoop out the insides. Peeling one of those is a PITA.

A very good chair is important, it doesn’t have to be a $1,000 chair, but, never returning to the back-crushing racing chair.

Man, I got excited for a moment they brought back the SE line, but at an even cheaper price.

I knew it couldn’t be true, not with Apple, but, it is what I first thought.

Yeah, Steam in-home-streaming is great and is something I have used on many an occasion.

Game streaming over the internet is simply miserable.

Customers have roundly rejected game streaming. If streaming is the only way to play a game, that game will see a colossal hit in sales. This won’t be acceptable to companies trying to make money.

I’m a big fan of the Keep It Simple (KISS) approach, and went with Password Safe. Works on Linux, Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android. It’s big thing is it just makes an encrypted password file which then you can sync between devices however you like (Box, Dropbox, etc)

Which one works on all browsers including mobile safari and mobile Firefox?

It has an auto-type and copy feature, so no need for browser support. Though, the main criticism of this offering is if you want a ton of features and don’t care about KISS.

These strike me as a much better plan than in-road wireless.

Though, I wonder what the durability of these are compared to the same you see in cities for trams. Big difference for those is the speed. Would they get worn away too fast? Can they economically make the cables extra thick/hard to compensate?

Protip for the room: Use a password manager with a unique password for every service. Then when one leaks, it only affects that singular service, not large swaths of your digital life.

Wireless charging wastes a ton of power. Roads also get beat to hell.

I really don’t see this being practical.

I have no clue what the other guy is talking about. The F-22 is an amazing plane that was and still is the stealthiest fighter made.

We have that already, it’s called Linux Mint.

Don’t overthink it.

The good news is. Even if you don’t change your strategy, you can just chill on index funds. When the bubble pops, they will go down, just keep buying more. In the long term, you will still make money. US index funds earn ~8% per year on average when invested for long periods of time.
