Some advice I heard was to keep important docs in the lower half of the room to reduce fire damage risk, because heat goes up if you go higher. Other than that, most storage containers don’t seem to help a lot against fire, unfortunately.
If you store the documents lower, water is a higher risk though.
Moving 2-3 (?) fingers on your touchpad to the left or right will get you to load the previous/next page.
Easy to do accidentally, no discoverability except in situations where you do it accidentally and get annoyed by it.
True, I think that’s how the world works mostly atm. Even the apps for very basic functions like taxi or delivery etc. are often completely different, e.g., in southeast Asia.
My main criticism is that the buy European movement is again isolationist. Europe is framed as the good/safe harbour (which it isn’t) and the rest of the world is excluded because they are evil (which they aren’t).
Instead, I think Europe would do good building stronger ties around the world, with African countries, India, Indonesia etc., at eye level, instead of excluding them and thereby excluding itself from the party as well.
Yeah, but it’s such a dumb impulse that I’d have expected it from an American. As a European it makes me cringe
In whose world does a boycott of American goods equal “buy European”? The world is bigger than 2 continents
Nah, my village just had the bin
Nice, maybe I’m just buying the wrong things. I also saw this notice sometimes and then just picked a different seller, but some don’t write it there
A full potato? Lol, when I was young I had nothing but a french fry, scavenged from a McDonald’s bin.
Great move in these times where RAM is cheap and widely available
Glad to inform you that these days many Rakuten Sellers just use it as a second front-end. Logistics are handled by Amazon, often the package is Amazon wrapped. Not all, but based on my sample around 2/3.
I found this video helpful but it’s a few months old already:

Depending on your goals, you could try to find used components that are incompatible with windows 11 but still perhaps powerful enough as this guy explains:
Hard to say without more context. I’d check the existing distributions and pick one that suits you. Their websites usually have lists with compatible devices.
PostmarketOS is interesting for tinkering, grapheneOS just works reliably. Everything else in between
It’s massively inconsistent, lacks good defaults, stuff moves around everywhere, sizing is off. It’s just a grown project that lacks a serious effort to work on the UX. It’s free to use of course, but I think in 2026 the standards are just different
I wish it were as reliable as libreoffice, hopefully in a future release.
Current state: libreoffice has a terrible UI but works. OnlyOffice has a great UI but only works when I don’t need it urgently
But I’m level 3 genius!
Consider yourself lucky if you haven’t been there in the times before systemd. It streamlined a lot of things under the hood that were stupidly varied among distros, like where certain configurations were placed. Really, nobody needed that and it broke a lot. Systems also introduced some sanity through service dependency awareness, e.g., which service needs to be running before the next can be started. You might find that obvious, but Linux was still stuck in the 80s on that level and essentially a guessing game.
That said, if you want to try something else, the most reasonable but quite involved alternative is probably guix with shepherd.
Let me fix that: “Tuxedo computer will be less broken when you buy it and try to use it without adding their crappy node.js driver package”
There you go.
