  • I don't see any sane governments trying to make deals with him going forward. He's shown that he will just ignore/change any "deals" he makes in all aspects of his life as he sees fit.

    I do suspect he'll go TACO in the end but the fucking chaos in the meantime...

  • Just this weekend I took an old Gen 1 Surface Go and put the latest Fedora on it and it's amazing, very intuitive for touch screens. Tried Mint before and it gave me enough issues that I didn't use that Tablet at all for almost a year.

    Edit to clarify, I run Mint on my desktop and love it, just didn't really work well on my old Surface Go.

  • Boox tablets are essentially Android tablets with highly specialized screens.

    Yes, didn't realize this when I got mine years ago just looking for a Kindle replacement I could also take notes on. Being able to install Android apps opened up a whole lot of possibilities, like reading Manga with Mihon, work stuff with Google Suite, etc. Now I'm even looking to upgrade to a colored screen model. Honestly, worth the price IMO

  • Never used them myself but other videos I found make these seem very much like a children's PE class / therapeutic kind of thing. Hopefully some kind Germans can enlighten us on the use case of Pedalos

  • Non-American here. There's a huge market for cheap Chinese goods outside the US. There are a lot of little things where you don't need quality, just "good enough to get the job done". There's a chain of stores all around SEA called Mr. DIY that is basically full of worryingly cheap made in China products and it's thriving.

    Then there's the various electronics brands that at least have reliable quality with good specs for the costs. Huge market for those despite bloat, spyware etc. outside of the US. As if you don't get that with practically all mainstream electronics from any country anyway. Plus for non smart electronics, they're fine. Xioami makes a great and cheap precision electronic screwdriver for example. Then there's car companies like BYD that is just killing it in the global EV market.

    Not saying the Chinese government is great or anything, they've got hands as bloody as any other global superpower, but I do think Chinese companies can find plenty of willing customers outside of the US.

    Tl;dr A lot of the world is willing to buy "cheap garbage", and not everything China is producing is seen as "cheap garbage" anymore.
