I used it a few times for work even. At the time I had a usb-c hub connected with a screen, Ethernet, 65w charger, a keyboard and mouse and I had my laptop that I was carrying with me.
Once or twice I arrived at work and realized I forgot my computer at home … And I have a 2hour drive … So I connected my phone to the hub and work on it. It worked well to send email, use an internet browser, a bit of document editing and mostly connecting to remote desktops.
There is the kiwix hotspot.
A WiFi hotspot that gives you access to the entire Wikipedia, medical information, homesteading books …
You should find a startup incubator of whatever is the equivalent around you.
You have a product idea, it’s great but is just the start. I’m sure 10 other people got up this morning with the same idea. What matters is what you do with this idea.
Now you need to learn how to refine this idea and turn it into a business and for that you need help. This is exactly what startup incubators are here for.
I’m not very original but Prusa.
I got a MK4 18 months ago and it’s been a reliable workhorse.
I’m usually starting the prints remotely from work and picking it up from the print bed once back home.
The worst is that it will probably increase profit or a quarter or too while running the brand to the ground.
It’s two variants of the European socket (type E and type F), nowadays most plugs are compatible with both versions so you can buy either one. Just check your plugs before.
Here is an illustration of both sockets:
Type E
Type F
I agree with Nixos as well. Setting it up properly for the first time can take some time but after that it’s very much “forget it”.
It’s great that school are surveiling kids.
Does it means that school will finally get an appointed psychologist that meets the kids regularly to check on their mental health ? This way if there is any sign of depression they can easily get some free counseling sessions ?
What do you mean “This is not how we do things here !” ?
It’s interesting to see how much nixos grew over the last 2 years, even though the distribution exists since 2003.
I would imagine they use the microphone, accelerometer, some processing power and internet connectivity (WiFi or mobile).
Trying to set up a dedicated hardware with ask that would cost way more than just buying a bunch of pixel phone.
Same for the software, on a smartphone you can just create an app that will record and process all the information vs creating a custom firmware on a custom hardware.
I guess there is also the availability of the technicians.
Finding someone to develop and maintain an android app is much easier than finding someone to maintain a custom hardware/firmware.
I was using mainly the emails from proton, I moved to mailbox.
At one point I was planning on moving my drive and VPN with them but their Linux support was really lacking, especially the CLI support so I’ve never done it and I’m glad I didn’t.
For the VPN I’m using Mullvad integrated with tailscale, for the drive in using my own synology NAS and tailscale to connect to it.
Ouch! They really are working hard on getting any privacy oriented person to leave them.
I’m glad I have moved away from them.
“A country with experience in fab construction can build one faster and cheaper than a country with no experience”
Yeah, not really surprising
As others have said, there is no right answer but here are my thoughts based on my experience.
The apartment is under your name so I would expect you to pay the mortgage.
One thing you could do is that your girlfriend puts a share of the mortgage cost into a savings account under her name. It could be the equivalent of what she’s paying now for her rent of the equivalent of your mortgage minus 30%.
This way if you stay together and decide to buy a new home you can both contribute to it with a nice down payment and if you split up you both get your marbles back.
It also levels your salaries and you are contributing equally to the housing cost so there is no resentment being built on your side.
What I did with my girlfriend (now wife) is that we were doing a pro rata monthly contribution to a bank account that was used for everyday life. In your case you are earning 30% more then you can contribute 30% more to this account. Then everything like electricity, groceries, restaurants together … Was deducted from this account.
It’s quite easy to get a free bank account with two cards so we used that (we used N26 at the time but there are plenty of options, the bank account was technically a single person account with two cards but it did not really matter since we were not keeping a lot of money in it). We started by keeping track of all our expenses on an app like Tricount and regularly balancing our contribution, it’s easy to set up but it requires to keep track of all our expenses and was quite annoying to do on the long term.
25 years ago the system was setup as a quick temporary solution.
You haven’t been assigned your fediverse girlfriend yet ?
I’m fine, I use Aegis to store my bitwarden 2FA code. I just need my Aegis password to access it that is stored in … Bitwarden …
I might not be the sharpest egg in the basket, thanks OP to have made me realize my mistake and I’ll change that.
I moved from proton to mailbox a few months ago and so far I’m really happy with it too
It’s not just for my home server but for EOL or other issues I used bitwarden emergency access options for passwords. Of anything happens to me my wife can request access to my vault and if I don’t deny it in a certain timeframe she will have full access to it.
I did that after my brother in law got in an accident and fell into a coma. I’m very grateful he had all his password saved in chrome on his unlocked laptop because if not it would have made the period insanely more difficult for my sister.
Simple things like paying the bills would I been insanely more difficult and stressful and you don’t need extra stress in this period.
