I’m referring to two bits of copper wire in a sleeve of (probably rubber) insulation, commonly used for landlines back in the day. If you don’t call it that, maybe it’s a regional thing.

Oh, and there’s 8 billion people on this planet. They all live in the “real world”. Your experiences are not somehow more valid because you happen to live on one particular patch of dirt.

Respectfully, I’d consider large parts of Canada to be undeveloped. I’m not trying to throw shade or anything, there’s just a lot of Canada to develop.

The same is true to a lesser degree in the US and most other very large nations.

Marginally maybe? Installing an add-on in torrentio doesn’t take more than a second, but it isn’t a process most people are already familiar with, like entering credit card details to open an account.

You’ll need to install the torrentio add-on.

You should use a VPN, but it will work without one.

You can use a debrid provider and remove the other stremio addons you don’t use. I’ve never bothered, and to be honest I don’t even really understand what debrid is.

Most people in developed countries have internet that can support HD resolutions, yes. Mine even does, and our building’s wiring is original to the 50s.

It is a closes source program owned by an analytics company. I don’t know if there’s a good way to conclusively tell, but why else would they have bought it?

I’d teach them once they are old enough to understand it on a technical level, as well as the potential consequences.

And I find your comparison to sex ed very strange. Sex is something they will do with huge consequences if they fuck up. They need to understand it, and they need to understand it early.

Proton supports port forwarding, although setup on Linux is weird.

You also don’t need port forwarding for bittorrent. It is helpful, but I haven’t used it myself for years.

Proton and mullvad are the two best options I know of.

Pretty much any VPN provider is usable on Linux though, network manager can handle wireguard or openvpn configs just fine. Your biggest concern should be trustworthiness.

“Mail delivery fee” implies this order will be sent via post.

Fuck em.

IME the only switch games to have significant issues on deck are the Zelda titles. Everything else works at least as well as on a switch, usually better.

I vote no.

Switch hardware in general is a much worse experience than emulation due to graphical limits, no save backups, etc.

If my understanding is correct, a used steam deck should be about €300, which will offer a much better experience for your switch games and play other games as well.

You might try another bank. Several still provide online banking, so you can just use their website.

Pixel 8 here (broke my 7 a couple of months ago).

Works great. Updates are fast, and I keep a work profile with play services and maps installed. The only think I know for that doesn’t work is google pay, which I’ve never understood the use case for.

They work on my mother, but she has the kind of faith in the system I honestly envy. It seems like a much more tranquil existence.

This is the same woman who thinks the Judge Rotenburg center must not be that bad, because otherwise it would have already been closed down. She just…can’t imagine a regulatory failure that big actually happening.

This. The only google service which doesn’t work is google pay, and you can literally just put an NFC card in your phone case if it’s that important to you

Even android auto is supported.

More likely shrinkflation. Same as how a pint of hagen-daz is 14oz now, instead of a full pint.

I think it depends on your use case and how strapped you are. Unless you’re gaming, you don’t need a super performant phone these days. Anything midrange will perform around the same as a flagship in normal phone tasks. What does matter is the form factor, battery life, and support window.

That being said, I basically only recommend the pixel series these days, because they support grapheneOS and they’re just cheaper than other phones with that long of a support window.

Samsung and Motorola do make some nice hardware though.
