It’s “Chornobyl”, btw. Chernobyl is the russian name.

100% agree with every single word.

I also have noticed that the life vision that social media inspires is extremely sterile and empty on itself. People more and more constantly wear headphones to hide from reality, dislike any kind of smells and even the tiniest noises, always trying to hide from those. And simply do not stand being disconnected for a minute.

Yeah, having ability to make installation medium smaller by stripping away unused hi-res textures would be a really nice product feature.

I just a bit skeptical with having an old game requiring exponential increase hardware requirements with improvements limited just for some visuals. On the other hand, it could be WarCraft 3: Reforged situation, so, I guess now it is more of a “there is always space for improvement” situation.

We are talking old game remake lol

Staying with the original also for the performance reasons: UE5 makes it really hungry for resources, while original runs smooth and makes my computer not even turn on active cooling.

You can always play Cossacks. It’s a game made in Ukraine, really love playing it on spare time :)

You are not in any way. I was into tech since I was a toddler, and the feeling I have right now sucks. Though, I think it is not about tech, but about things happening in the world around. The tech is just a symptom of majority people being natural morons.

Looks like a neat product for army: they do need off-road based cars quite a lot.

There is also Vinted, which operates across EU.

Asides, in Poland Allegro Lokalne exists, which is making an attempt in the same market.

I actually recently switched to a safety razor from Wilkinson Sword (those blades mentioned, are supposed to be used with safety razor), and was enjoying it a lot. The razor itself is not too expensive, yet it improved my shave quality, decreased a price-per-shave, and skin irritation after shave (omitting occasional but very rare nose cuts). I use a blade in 1.5 weeks with ISANA blades from Rossman, and pay about 2€ per 10 of those, can definitely recommend.

The only downside: you can’t bring those on any airplane, so I carry a cartridge razor to get at least some shaving done when traveling. And immediately I do that, I get razor burns :(((

Having a tiny bit of slow-work time at an office, after I got almost burned out under unrealistic deadlines pressure.

Hoping it’ll get better for you!

My take: Steam Deck is much better, just taking a terrible experience I’ve been having with ASUS laptop build, and how actually well-built the Steam Deck is.

My story is: I bought an LCD with 64 GB storage and upgraded it to 1TB, and made a few fixes already to the buttons (too hard of a player xD). And during disassembly, I was extremely happy with how it was built, because it is really simple to maintain, disassemble/assemble. Like it was actually built to last ;)

Interestingly, I do not see quite a bit of European countries, including Poland, Czechia, etc

Feels like either an attempt of manipulation, or lack of research

I’d say we are already far past the point. It’s just that that most people haven’t noticed it yet, and it is that late for that.

I think there is quite a bit of rational thought in the statements. Though, it is definitely clear the person was either emotional, or was trying to make you emotional (and apparently succeeded) :)

I 100% think that without support of government, such boycott or switch in choice priorities might be having some risks, especially in high-tech markets, where Europe is obviously behind. Though, the statement about taxes clearly incorrect, because decreasing taxes would straight lower ability of EMEA area to actually make the investment at all, especially in circumstances, when countries have to put huge fractions of their GDP into militarization on extremely short notice and with deadline set to “three years ago”.

Taking that into account, I think that was just a troll account, or not too intelligent person being fed a pile of disinformation. Regardless of what it is: it is the wisest to ignore opinions of such people, they are simply not worth the wasted energy :)

The answer is “yes”, according to this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xMxH0usC7Ew

Wow, it looks so nice, compared to most dishwashers I ever saw!

Wow, I was really sure Fairphone is assembled in Europe.

Haha, nice :)

According to bits and crumbles of information I found, the actual assembling seem to be happening in Europe, though the components are the coming from various sources, including China and (mostly) US.

I definitely see your point, though in my eyes, having phone designed in Poland and assembled in Europe is infinitely times better than an iPhone, which is designed in US, and assembled in China in extremely unclear work conditions, or Xiaomi which is 100% China. Especially if it is a product prioritizing conscious usage.

Yeah, the line of Trump politics was kind of obvious from the beginning, unfortunately. Sadly majority of US voters did not see it through before, and continue “not looking up” :'(
