i remember hearing a few years ago about it costing around $200 to make the latest and greatest galaxy note 10, and it had an msrp around the thousand dollar mark. phones have MASSIVE profit margins and honestly its probably just been getting bigger and bigger since then.

i sold my car so that i could buy an ebike back in february, i now have 400 something miles on it and haven’t had to spend a dime on any maintenance (although i probably should have…) but when it comes to PEV’s they’re definitely one of those things where if you spend more money to get a better quality product you’ll have a much better experience. also since bikes are more standardized its easier to find replacement parts and if you’re willing to put the time into learning how to mess with it you wouldn’t even need to rely on a repair shop.

(on pixels at least) if you go into your google settings from the settings app, manage your google account, data and privacy, web and app activity, google is tracking literally EVERYTHING you do on your phone if you have this on. this was the most egregious invasions of privacy I’ve ever seen, baked into android and hidden away for users to disable, and it’s even harder to disable if you dont have a pixel. google does not give a fuck about “privacy” on android, they could start by just tearing all that stuff out but thats how the money is made so we’re left with alternatives like grapheneos.

mine is “im in your walls”, going for the creepy factor

bluetooth works out of the box in most distros ive tried, so does my nvidia gpu, you can use office in a browser or one of its foss alternatives, and ive had no issues with steam either thanks to valve giving a fuck about linux. what are you going on about?

yeah exactly. just confused why something like this would be promoted on lemmygrad of all places

im reading this shit and he keeps repeating right wing bs talking points… saying mlp is the subject of a pedo cult? and the author writes for a paper called “the american conservative”, immediately lost all credibility. i thought that lil cut off paragraph was silly but the rest of it is just obscene.

living in the pnw rn is great my lungs feel spicy

federation with meta will bring nothing but evil into our niche little corner of the net and i am not for it.
