What’s the worst thing that can happen?

It actually can be a lot worse ...

Thats me over 15 years ago. Now I'm staunch atheist.

People just have different interests/needs.

Same, I have a 2012 laptop, just added RAM recently, with ssd replaced few years back. Boots in seconds.

Unless you are Chinese user, which means you are double fucked.

To unlock your phone, you need to:

1. Level 5 Xiaomi Forum Level (Gonna take half a year if you only check in daily, if you post and replies, then its tiny bit faster.)
2. Make an appointment for the Unlocking Permission Test (random dates, xiaomi is also slowly/quietly limiting the number of test dates)
3. Pass the test (timed, broad range/difficult technical questions, akin to a 300 level college exam that you're not given any materials to study for)
4. If you pass, you're only allow to unlock 3 phones per year.

But hey, if you bought the phone outside of China (or simply not Chinese version), then you don't have to do any of those except wait for 68 hours. Fuck the Chinese users eh (Chinese version also has a lot more bloatwares, the apps that you download from xiaomi app store also more invasive (more permission) than google play versions).

Lighting definitely strikes more than twice.

Currently, there are no way to change it. I know the pain, I have a almost two decade old cringeworthy name.

That doesnt sound like a controversy, its bascially "btw, I use arch"

Isnt it the norm for imported item to be much more expensive than what they are in their own country? Not just cars, but ... everything.

I uninstalled onedrive with Geek Uninstaller on several of company PCs and none of it had come back.

Cross marriage, I have more male and you have more female, lets mingle.

That being said, there are a lot of marriages between Chinese men and Russian women.

They are Supreme Court Justices, they have more job security than Biden.

"early" voting implies theres another round of voting. Correct?

I’d never use it for anything security related, or as my main OS

Agree, my main OS is a linux, Tiny11 is only for work (work requires windows softwares, which doesnt run on wine)

I have a low spec desktop for work, I just load Tiny11 on it.

interesting

Quantum Leap is just beautiful, and Stargate is fun

I'm on a nostaglia binge lately, currently on Season ten of Stargate SG1, season 2 of the original Quantum Leap, Season 3 of Stargate Atlantis, Season 5 of Jeremy Bretts Sherlock Holmes.

The modern ones just doesn't hit.
