  • What even are these? I’m not American, we don’t torture (or have) crackheads here. I mean we do have bums, but hard drugs are too expensive and hard to find for then I think. Booze is easy.

    Anyway, in case anyone here is thinking of their local community’s wellbeing, idk what it’s like in the US with tariffs and all, but I know that in general it’s like 30 bucks off Aliexpress to get a cordless angle grinder that works with Makita batteries. Maybe 50 with a battery and charger included. Yes, they work.

    The comparison is a joke because one of these shows was hailed as one of the best shows in at least recent memory if not ever and the other is a kids cartoon and those aren’t usually very high quality even though exceptions do exist. Bluey is an exception.





  • Ah, I suppose. My benchmark here is Apple which did it long before Huawei which is why it’s so perplexing to me that it took this long for the Android world to catch up. Apple’s not perfect, but basically everyone lagged behind them in this. The 2014 iPhone 6 got 4 years of updates, the 2015 6s got 7 and subsequent phones seem to be getting 5-7 depending on Tim Cook’s mood (they do claim hardware incompatibility when they sunset an older model, but who the hell really knows)

    Looking at the P50 which I believe is the flagship for Huawei (excluding the Mate which is just larger) in 2021, that still only got 2.


  • And RAM is meaningless without a processor to use it. So I’m saying this MacBook Neo is probably kinda shit for its price, but the Stream is for sure not any good.

    For the price of the MacBook Neo, the best device to get would actually be a used laptop. Either an Apple Silicon Macbook Air if you can find one with 16 GB, or some kind of a Thinkpad if you want to have more freedom.

    Cheap laptops tend to suck, but used laptops in the same price range can be very good.


  • Indeed we do not. Whether you have a monthly salary (we don’t really do annual salaries, just a cultural difference I guess) or an hourly wage in your contract, you’re entitled to overtime (at 1.5x on non-holiday non-night times - rate can get even higher for holidays and particularly holiday nights, and if you’re salaried, it’s just calculated off your average hourly rate for the month before the overtime) and on-call fees. When I first learned this was not the case in the US, it was actually shocking to me. Holidays are double pay even if it’s not overtime.
