I know. Still, that’s the best hardware out there for laptops. I have to add though, only the T and P series are worth buying, the rest are trash.

Buying HP products is bad investment.
I only had the chance to two of their inkjet printers and one of their office laser printers, plus an elitebook laptop. In short, all of them suck.
Much better (to me, the best) alternatives, that I can safely say are good investments: Canon for inkjet printers, ThinkPad T and P series for laptops. Those are quality products. Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with other office laser printers, so I cannot recommend one.
Edit: specified which series of ThankPads are still good.
Just as a mildly interesting story, I thought I’d share:
The best self checkout experience I had so far, was at a Japanese clothing store in Germany. There was a box at the checkout station, and each clothing item had an RFID in their labels. You just toss all your items in the box, it detects which exact products you’re gonna buy, and if the list of items shown is correct, you just pay and go.
A few years ago I heard of a similar concept for groceries, but that one was experimental and I don’t think they’ve implemented it ever since. But this one at the clothing store was not a test, and it worked flawlessly.

Choose a direct flight whenever possible. I usually would pick a shitty, more expensive airline over having a connecting flight.
I have to say, this is just a matter of personal preference. I cannot imagine myself enduring a 13 hour flight in one go, so I tend to pick an airline that happens to have connections in Dubai. It’s about halfway when I’m visiting my girlfriend, and it feels really nice to walk around, stretch a bit, use a real toilet, etc.
My girlfriend is the opposite, she prefers to come here with a direct flight because it’s less of a hassle and she’s able to rest on the plane all the way.
Cheap airlines: you get what you pay for. You will be treated like cattle
That’s true for European low-cost airlines. Sometimes they would treat you worse than cattle.
However, on AirAsia I had a much better experience, although I only flew once with them.
Generally, in Europe they would mess with your hand-carry.
With AirAsia, my experience was that no one gives a damn crap about your bags. Just follow their rules, and if your bag looks reasonable, no one will say anything.
On a long flight wearing your seat belt
I would suggest that at all times when you’re seated, with one exception: don’t wear it while boarding is still in progress and the seatbelt sign isn’t on. While turbulence mostly can be predicted, in some rare cases it cannot be. But they remind you of that during either the safety briefing or the captain’s first PA.
Wearing a mask is not a bad idea
Duh. I mean, why else would they be hanging right in front of you while the cabin is getting depressurized?
Just kidding. I know you meant medical masks.
Well, I tested both modules, and one of them turned out to be faulty. The other stick works, I can use my PC with it for now. And Corsair’s customer support turns out to be really handy; they can send a replacement first for a deposit, and after I receive it, I can send the faulty one back. And once they receive it, I can get the deposit back.
So it’s all (kinda) good now, regarding my PC.
I’m pretty freakin far from okay.
My girlfriend has been mad at me for almost a week now; who knows if she ever even wants to talk to me. She hates me at this point.
And this is my first day of vacation, I have more than 10 days off. I decided to work on one of my hobby projects, and sometimes take a break for gaming. Guess what! My PC broke, Memtest shows more than 3000 RAM errors, so at the moment I’m sitting here testing each module in every slot.
And then once I figure it out whether I have to send the RAM or the motherboard back, I’ll have no PC for at least a month (I expect longer than that). So I cannot make any progress with anything, now that I have some free time.
I’m especially pissed off, because it was quite an expensive build, specifically for reliability.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he sends those women to the frontline as well.
Back in my country, bottled mineral water used to have a pink cap when it was non-carbonated, and blue cap for the carbonated one. I guess, I don’t even have to finish the story, at this point everyone can imagine… But yeah, in primary school I had class mates who refused to drink the non-carbonated one, saying it’s “gay water”.
How is it different from PeerTube?
More like undergoing the humiliation of what it comes with.
Other than that… yeah, I don’t have many friends, so not many favors to take care of.
Once a friend asked me to buy him cigarettes while I went into the store to buy some food for myself and he was waiting outside. I did it, but I hated every single second of it. The fact that the cashier, and anyone around me could potentially think I was a smoker… utterly terrifying. The humiliation was even greater when the cashier asked for my ID (I was around 20 that time, I looked young enough for them to assume I was underage). Disgusting, horrible experience. Never again.
There was another case, where my best friend actually didn’t really ask for help, but it was a really serious case. Her mom got into jail as a victim of someone else’s attempt to clear himself in a corruption case. I helped her with my savings (a thousand dollars or so) to get her out of jail. Well, this was another horrible experience, but in a different way. I would do it again if such a situation arises, but luckily her and her entire family have managed to move to a better country since then.
To me it usually goes like this:
“No.”
Or sometimes:
“Nope.”
Or when I’m feeling polite:
“No, thanks.”
I used it every day, when I had it. I would still use it every day if I had it. Sadly I don’t have it anymore.
You mean, MMCCCXIII people.
I’ve always pronounced it as “Linux”. And then, one day I heard it from a native English speaker pronouncing it as “Linix”, and I still keep hearing that everywhere, but I just cannot fix my brain anymore. To me it always remains “Linux”.
In my opinion, social media is extremely harmful to society. Fediverse has implemented some proper moderation, while those more popular platforms tend to amplify what makes this world crazy (and eventually completely destroyed).
If there’s one reason why it’s not okay that those platforms are more popular than the fediverse, it’s that at least the Fediverse has the chance to properly moderate content, while on those platforms it’s either unmoderated, or even worse, the quality content is oppressed.
