You can’t even buy working batteries for a most of the old phones I have in my drawer.

The idea is nice, but such a government program would either end up just shipping tons of broken electronics to third world countries, or spending more money testing old electronics compared to what it would cost to buy new cheap feature phones for people in those third world countries.

That’s what happens when you download Chrome from chr0mebrowser․ru

Or in America, “We’re going to sew you back up, but first, please enter credit card details and sign here regarding your payment plan”

What’s the value proposition here? Free no-questions-asked replacement if it breaks? Free upgrades when new models come out (though they have no real incentive to keep developing new “forever mice”)?

If my mice on average last, say, 6 years and cost $175 (I splurged on a high-end one last time), the subscription will have to be less than $2.40/month, and since customers absolutely hate subscriptions, especially if there’s no real benefit, probably even less than $1.50/month for most to even consider it.

In fact the Logitech mouse before my current mouse lasted 12 years and cost me $75, so that’s a max subscription cost of 50 cents/month for it to be comparable.

Which is why I’m not donating right now, even as a satisfied user of Firefox for 15+ years.

I’ll happily donate 5 bucks now and again to Firefox development, but I don’t want my donation to go to a 5-6 million dollar CEO salary.

For everyone who’s read Discworld, I imagine that’s Dibbler.

I’ve found that they don’t always fit properly in all female Micro USB connectors, but they are quite interesting.

What about the predictable beginning and the predictable middle part, between the beginning and the end? I usually just skip those too.

Only semi-autocannibalism

People often shit on the cheap Creality printers, and sure, the quality control is not great (and don’t expect any customer support), but I’m having significantly fewer problems with my Ender 3 V2 at home than we are at work with our Snapmaker 2.0 A350 (costs about 5-10 times at much).

I’ve had my V2 for a few years, and after getting a textured PEI spring steel build plate and changing the bed springs, it’s been super reliable and consistent. No other upgrades needed so far.

Well that’s on you then.

1. Keep encrypted backups of your password database, so that you can migrate to something else if you need to.

B. Make sure to have your password database synced to your phone or accessible in some other way when you’re out and about.

III. If purely offline and local password manager with no syncing, have a way for a trusted person to be able to access it, if you need them to.

• Lastly, attempt to not suffer memory loss and forget your main credentials to the password manager.

The moment Mozilla bundles an AI assistant with Firefox is the moment I’m done with the internet.

We don’t need a new separate useless AI assistant in every single browser, please.
