I've had two different unihertz models, and neither of them could stay on any wifi, and both of them dropped calls like crazy. I contacted customer support, and they 'offered' to swap for another exact same phone, if I paid to ship both ways, and I didn't mind having no phone for a month. Jelly 2, and Atom XL. The Atom was especially bad as it has a giant bloody antenna sticking out the top of it, and still no WiFi!
Avoid Unihertz.
I ran a mediawiki for almost exactly that for a while on a really old computer that was collecting dust. Eventually I turned it into a VM. I still have it somewhere... You could totally host that on linode or digital ocean.
Better not be American, bas! That's enough to bring FBI to your door. Also, he belongs in jail, not dead.
Hearing the exact wrong part of the conversation, and then making a horrific assumption and spinning off into zany misunderstandings instead of, just, "Hey, what did I just hear?"
There are a lot of problems, but there are a lot of things we aren't worrying about now, either. AIDS was killing millions, and there was no treatment. The Satanic Panic. People were exposed to lead and asbestos everywhere. Duck and cover drills in schools for when the nukes went off. I mean, we're all scrambling to figure out how to stop climate disasters, but then they were scrambling to stop some nutter on either side from pushing a button and ending the world! Where I come from, they still took kids away from their parents for the crime of being Aboriginal! Things change.
I choose to be optimistic. All through the twentieth century, overpopulation and mass famine were looming spectres, and better crops, phosphate fertilizers, falling birthdates all led to us not really being that worried about that. Read Stand on Zanzibar.
Crime rates are down all over the world.
The inequality? 1920's. The FTC and the EU are (finally, IMO) taking big tech to task for their monopolistic behaviour. It's moving slow, but there is starting to be the political will to address the challenges.
Things go in cycles.
Did it?
I really like the Firefox Multi account containers extension... It keeps my school stuff out of my shopping stuff, and my banking stuff separate. I keep all Google products in their own container.
I want to give you the internet equivalent of a firm handshake. This needed to be said, thank you for being the one to say it.
Does it give you anything? Can you select safe mode or nomodeset from the grub menu, or do you get no grub menu at all? I almost pulled the trigger on a used getac system a while back, but couldn't justify the cost. If you get it working, please tell me how it goes under Linux!
Breakaway charge cable for my phone! They act like those old MagSafe chargers for Mac, and when I'm clumsy, instead of a busted off charge port, no damage! I also have curious cats who can test gravity without wrecking my phone.
I am in school, and make heavy use of Teams and Office, and do just fine in Linux! 365 on the web, Libre Office, and Teams in a Flatpak. My instructors can't wrap their heads around it. I'm the only one in my program! (IT, no less.)
I did the hackiest, lamest thing back in the day... I had my client write the current date and time to a file on the share every two minutes as a Cron job... Kept it working for months! I saw it on a forum somewhere, tried it, and... Shocked Pikachu face I don't know if I ever disabled that Cron job! Haha!
