Thank you for calling this kind of behaviour out, but hopefully you can see I was mimicking OP’s “I don’t need it” self-convincing speech, by being his “angel on the shoulder”. It was done in a joking manner, and I apologise to any one who interpreted it in another way.

Great! Go for it then.

I don’t know what’s LoRa though, but can’t you just plug an Arduino board to the computer’s USB port and get a bunch of GPIOs? It’s cheap. It’s durable.

No. You don’t need it.

Just get a used ThinkPad for work, and whichever handheld game console if you want to play while on a trip.

Run Linux on ThinkPad. It’s open source too.

Best in what perspective? There are FLAC and Opus.

Agreed. In the old days everyone knows what to do with a zip of MP3 files. These modern day “technology” has been making people dumb. It sucks.

What’s wrong with emailing them an m3u8 file?

This shit is thirty years old.

I think TeX is the right way.

Still not an issue. Just throw out all modern web frameworks and stick to content-focused HTML. You can even do plaintext with unclickable links.

Fortunate for me, Posteo is a pair service so that their employees can live a good life by working. I get their service. I pay. I don’t like someone else paying for me then show me ads or sell my data.

Own a car, or drive a car in public infrastructure? I think in most countries, it’s legal to own a car without a driver’s license because why not? For example one might just be into collecting cars in his garage and never drive them.

Well actually this is a very good point. You should have stated this in the post body.

Remove OP first, then two CEOs.

It also has an 8-bit NES version.

Git gud, pal.

他 isn’t the pronoun for masculine third person. It’s third person, period. Neutral gender if one has to ask.

Traditionally the character used to mean “that” is 彼. Apparently it’s also gender-neutral.

Year xxx: We need to make our pronouns gendered so that it’s easier to communicate!

Year 1xxx: We need to declare ourselves as non-binary, and especially get mad when called him or her, to fuck with the language!

Oh my god. I couldn’t believe people throw that away. When you say e-waste bin I thought of it as some kind of flea market.

Nice find, bro.

If you don’t have a need, do not purchase.

If you have purchased without a need, consider returning or selling it.

A broken laptop can simply be used as a desktop with an external monitor.

Voyager but I don’t think that’s relevant.

I’ve been using RAM and SSD of Chinese brand (Gloway) for three to four years. Consumer grade. No issue so far. No data loss or kernel panic.
