Makes me shudder. I have to replace a drive in my array, because it is degraded. It's a 4TB. Imagine having to replace one of these. I'd much rather have a bunch of cheaper drives, even if they are a bit more expensive per TB, because the replacement cost will eventually make the total cost of ownership lower.
Also, repeat with me: "Please give me a Toshiba or Hitachi, please"
"Hey, I perpetrated a genocide (over 58.000) on your people with the excuse of the kidnapping of a few dozen (also unjustifiable)", and which has been proven to have been used as a false flag by Bibi.
Please return these hostages.
When are we going to realize that there is little antisemitism, a lot of anti Israel-ism, and that Israel is anti Goyim, and would terminate the rest of the world after they cease to be useful if they could.
I had a small restaurant in Europe. We had a nominal monthly flat charge per card payment terminal, something like 9€ Totally reasonable. It made accepting cards viable even for a a single coffee.
The EU is great at dealing with bullshit like that; essentially free bank transfers within EU, and within 24h, keeping surcharges low, consumer protection.
You definitely can grow year round. This is a tiny part of what is called "the plastic sea" in Almería, Spain. The climate is like Arizona, dry and hot. They grow year round by managing light, heat and water. Almeria is part of Europe's vegetable garden.
The US has plenty of areas with a shitton of sun in the winter. Very dry areas, like southern Spain, or Israel, produce year round and with little available water, but well managed.
The Netherlands produce vegetables, competitive for export, with half the sun or heat.
Vegetables are one of the few sectors that can be repatriated in a short time through tariffs.
When you get into tree crops and such is when you have the same problem as with factories, years until production.
A problem with macbooks is that most have soldered ram, and even hard disks, which negates the possibility to upgrade to modern capacities. Many older non apple laptops can be upgraded to a larger SSD and ram, and be given a new lease on life.
What people don't seem to realize is that the US effectively subsidizes the digital sector by means of minimal taxation. The EU should tax the fuck out of US tech companies, and incentive European alternatives and especially FOSS.
Oh,and Ireland (country that I love, btw), get rid of the parasitic sector, wich may bring in money, but also fucks up your country. See housing, for example.
What some countries don't seem to realize is that it's a bluff on the part of the orange failed abortion. He knows that he can't really sustain tariffs because prices would really rise, and a massive recession would kick in, so he bluffs by delaying the dates.
Also, don't forget that a major part of the tariff declarations are pushed by his billionaire handlers and his family, to crash markets and buy in a fire sale. It's the most blatant and highest scale insider trading scheme ever.
What really blows my mind is the dude that mixed oil and eggs and decided to beat the bejesus out of the mix for half an hour by hand and got mayonnaise.
When gmail was invite I got my name, my ex wife's and both my kid's. I also got a couple of regular words, for other uses. I get a ton of mail for other people with the same last name.
