controversial take.

Nope, I agree, and so far you get only upvotes so… we agree.

Since he removed “sustainable” from Tesla’s mission then, regardless of his appalling ideology, this is definitely a GOOD thing.

I confess when he took over Tesla (which he didn’t found) with the goal of democratizing electric car by making them cheaper I was excited. I don’t like cars and believe they are genuinely a terrible purchase, both at the individual level AND at the societal level, and yet I thought this would be helpful for a transition away from fossil fuel, at least.

How wrong I was… so yes I remember this personal mistake a warning tale : do NOT trust a mission of a corporation, only trust it’s past actions.

I don’t use eSIM most of the time but when I travel and I don’t want roaming, damn it’s nice. I just go on Airalo or Saily, pick a destination, pay something like 20 bucks and get the data. I load it up on my phone, travel, land and voila, works right away while I’m still on my way through customs. No WiFi needed, no “quick” trip to a random shop or a large provider that’ll try to upsell whatever. I just land, connect, use my VPN and voila.

Also if your phone doesn’t support eSIM you can use https://jmp.chat/esim-adapter

1st time in my life I get a Error HTTP 451 even had to look up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_451 and I have to admit the reference to Ray Bradbury’s 1953 dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 is pretty neat.

Consequently because the proxy link you provided is relying on CloudFlare which is itself blocking access I recommending link first to the original content https://annas-archive.org/torrents and optionally to mirrors, proxies, etc.

True and obviously a phone, a TV, a console, etc ate computers.

FWIW I replaced my Samsung “smart” TV by a Nebula Mars video projector. It’s very convenient and let’s me forget I have it, tucked away and hidden most of the time. Yes it is “smart” but it’s Android and I can connect via adb to it to install apps like VLC, make it start on boot, etc. I’m not updating it.

Next time I do buy a replacement though I’ll verify first in forums if it can be rooted to have the level of control I need. Maybe there will be a OSHW equivalent to https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer for video projectors as unfortunately it seems like a trend.

Meanwhile ASML just stops doing R&D and give up on its extremely specialized supply chain. /s

Compare that to the average teacher in most countries, including countries like Finland or Luxembourg which pay their teachers quite well.
