You can turn it around nowadays on something like Craigslist or FB marketplace. It will easily sell for 150 quid. Some of the plex shares will be happy to take it off you because their accounts get constantly nuked.

I hear you. How does one pirate health insurance?

AirVPN seems to be popular amongst torrenters I know

Well, a Steam Machine might be perfect for your usecase then, it’s small so you can replace your console and enjoy it, as well as Steam Input.

Be the change you want to see in the world

You look at the headlines of what’s new every year, realize it’s a nothingburger and say “meh maybe next year if there’s something interesting”. It’s been going for a few years for me, my last phone broke because I mishandled it, bought iPhone 13 and don’t see myself replacing for at least 2-3 years. I’ll replace the battery soon because it doesn’t hold a charge that well anymore but that’s about it really. Does everything else very good

This is somewhat unconfirmed information but I became privy to it from someone I trust. He told me they don’t care about the phone itself, but its contents. After the phone is snatched they need to rush to deliver it to someone who does the cracking. They pay the snatcher some sum (I heard $100-$200) if they deliver the phone before it gets bricked and then they proceed to steal all the finances they can from it. They either buy crypto and transfer it or just send the money to a dummy bank account that they withdraw from. Another rumor I heard is that they have insiders who do the phone unlocking for them and then those phones get shipped to China where there’s a black market for western phones as they’re not locked down like the domestic versions. Again, none of this is confirmed with a verified source, but it sort of makes sense when you think about it, as even parts in modern phones are serialized, so selling phones for parts only isn’t really an option anymore.

Not sure why you’re downvoted when you’re absolutely right and Mamdani proved it too. People are suffocating under the economic pressure, they consider other issues less important until that one is resolved.

I’m gonna be devil’s advocate here for a moment. I followed Mamdani’s campaign closely and I think he nailed it on the spot. You had two politicians running whereas one lied that he’ll reduce prices and make America great again and the other… did nothing for the most part. From the eyes of the average voter Kamala promised nothing but the status quo, and they wanted change. That’s how Dem strongholds flipped red during this election and how a lot of them went back to blue for the mid term elections. If she told her donors to get stuffed and worked for the working class instead of exploiting the working class she would’ve won.

What a mess we live in. Both options will fuck you over, only one of them will do it with lube.

Say what you want about Amazon, these were a decent deal. You could find a guy on your local marketplace that would sell one of these fire sticks preloaded with a custom IPTV app that had a bunch of channels for about £20-£40 permanently, no reoccurring cost.

If you got one before the police started cracking down on them you’re golden.

inb4 he says “what’s the usecase for air traffic controllers anyway? just land wherever you see a free runaway”

Don’t mean to burst your bubble but if you’ll look at what the founders of Google are saying today you’ll find that they’re on par with Googles current leadership. Then again, we can’t know if they were like this from the start or if it’s just the wealth and power and corrupted them.

It could be just a kid doing odd jobs to upgrade their computer.

Not necessarily, if you follow proper hosting etiquette, then even if they break in they should only be a standard user and have no access to the rest of your system. But most self hosters just run everything as root as it’s less of a hassle.

That’s what the matrix wants you to think /s

iirc he’s up for parole anyway in a few months so he’ll walk out either way

Your life matters, please don’t follow gangsters with a license to kill around the city, they will shoot and also get away with it.

Pretty good. Downloads on the main app has been something that held people back.

Moving your port over to a nonstandard one is not a solution (unless the problem you experience is too many logs from sshd, and even then, logrotate exists), its security by obscurity which doesn’t really solve anything at all. Only way your server will be safe is by ensuring the packages on your server are up to date and that you harden it to the point where it isn’t too much of nuisance.

If that happens he has my utmost support. I would buy 5 overpriced maga huts in a heartbeat
