Yes, but you sometimes get an IP that forces you to do the captcha, so it’s like 50/50 - not a full solution. You can try it

Sometimes when I use warp it just lets me through, but that’s a lottery.

Instead of implied like they don’t use USD anymore, but it’s more like “in addition to using mostly USD still”

Currently the title of the post and the article are not the same

Between May and July of this year, Bolivia conducted financial operations amounting to 278 million Chinese yuan ($38.7 million), which accounts for 10% of its foreign trade during that period

The post title is misleading

He wasn’t forced to work, he just wanted some spending money above what good parents have him. What’s wrong with that?

It’s not like scooping ice cream requires special skills

Nothing wrong with working after school when you’re 15, my friend worked a few hours scooping ice cream

Not everyone will use every waking hour studying

She’s 21

China doesn’t even have a free healthcare system. Everyone still needs to pay, even though there are subsidies. In real life, there’s little difference between the US and China

An Apple laptop doesn’t have replaceable RAM or storage because they want to upcharge on those items.

The average laptop is okay, but ports are soldered. Framework ports are all USB C internally so you actualy customize what you want and they can be plugged and unplugged

Screens are often glued on as well. But the killer feature is upgradable mobo and GPU. Nobody has supported a new generation of GPUs, if they come out with RDNA 4 upgrade for the current gen that will be a first in decades.

They already succeeded with a mobo upgrade so you could have bought an 11th gen Intel and changed to AMD or 13th gen

AFAIK he was standing right next to an MRLS shooting at the Ukrainian forces, and the Ukrainian forces shot back.

And his gun

I like brave search because it uses its own index

Yes, my laptop is ten years old. It doesn’t support nvme and its HDD is dying. I need a new one. I’m not going to throw money on a 5000 series Intel laptop with a GPU that has been out of order for five years.

It can’t handle AV1 decode even in software. It supports 4K, but not actually fast enough to play back videos in this resolution.

The HDMI port is half broken. Even if I upgraded the other parts, I’m not going to solder a new port.

I also want to support Framework and their goal of repairable and upgradable laptops

I want my framework laptop, and I’m considering waiting for a faster RDNA 3 mobile chip. They are currently all powered limited rx 7600 chips

Yes, but the 4090 is the “best” GPU with only minor trade-offs (DP 2.1 support?)

Monitors don’t yet have an ultimate “highest res, refresh, brightness, contrast, color volume” champion. If they made a 240Hz 4K QD-OLED it would come close, but it wouldn’t be as bright as the best Mini-LEDs, have burn-in, weird pixel positioning (but at 4K you can just use monochromatic AA for text)

The ultimate monitor might have to be Nano-LED, with self-emissive quantum dots. But we won’t see those until at least 2025, or maybe even later

I don’t like the naming. Mobile 7600 XT is also an underclocked 7600 but at a higher TDP.

I don’t get what a “best monitor” is supposed to be. They have six different categories themselves, and there’s also pricing. The “best” they listed sucks at HDR gaming and costs $550. In my opinion, if you’re going to have a “best” category it’s gotta be the Samsung 240Hz 4K monitor, but they mentioned issues with it

So currently, there’s no “best” monitor. They all have trade-offs.

I responded to the wrong comment, I thought this was the thread about elections in Ukraine, haha. I deleted it, but deletions don’t propagate between servers quickly

Thousands of Chinese tourists go there for a very strictly controlled vacation every year. As long as they think you’re not a threat it’s much safer than going to a place with literal warfare going on
