Weiter oben gibt es einen Kommentar zu “Kinderbuchautor heißt, er kann sich einfach verständlich ausdrücken” (paraphrasiert). Wäre ja bei Trump eine äußerst wichtige Kompetenz.

I’m not from the US, but isn’t the smallest coin a 1-cent coin?

Angemessener Preis müsste ja eigentlich durch den Neupreis gedeckelt sein. Das heißt ich kann alle Ersatzteile für ein Gerät für den gleichen Preis wie ein neues Gerät kaufen. Mit X% Toleranz meinetwegen und Versand kommt natürlich auch drauf, aber grundsätzlich würde damit eine komplett unwirtschaftliche Reparatur verhindert.

The numbers are totally off though.

A current-gen iPhone SoC (or CPU, the sources are not very clear), nhas about 19 billion transistors. That does not include transistors from flash memory. Following the numbers it does also not include RAM.

IPhone transistor count becomes completely irrelevant when you start looking at flash chips. Even a 16GB flash drive can contain 64 billion transistors.

Yes, “Killing In the Name”

You’re not wrong in the long term. But in the short term, people will park anywhere possible close to the shop, blocking everywhere near with cars.

It’s not Open Source / Free Software and it’s also based on Blink, like all Chromium browsers.

Not really sure about its selling points, but supporting Google’s grip on web standards seems to clash with the statement of openness in this advertisement.

If we are being fair, they are still reasonably fair to users. Open source gaming is not a reality.

They don’t force you to use Steam, but still work on Proton as Open Source. They don’t lock down their hardware.

What I’m trying to say is, while Valve is not perfect, it’s much better than any big tech alternative.

That’s not been true for a long time.

Especially for a private home server, SSDs run quieter, cooler, and are more compact.

Still more expensive than spinning rust though.

Every time I see one of these in my feed I feel exactly the same. Even those that I understand the humor of, I find not particularly funny.

You already got some good replies, but I still have something to add:

It is extremely unlikely you will permanently brick your laptop. The realistically worst thing to happen is that you end up without any working OS, be it Windows or Linux. If you can get help you will be able to install Windows again (not that hard though to do by yourself).

Second thing is that Linux installers usually come with a live environment. That means that your windows installation is absolutely safe while Mint runs from your USB. You can then do some browsing or play around with Mint before deciding to install it permanently.

No do the rest.

Here’s a list of phones I used; Anyway, go buy the new Pixel 9.

Apple already lost in the EU and need to allow other app stores
