I guess Core use the same excuse to only provide 30 day warranty, using a loophole to avoid the annoyance of having to provide a proper warranty?

I really like a lot of this but I have to agree with the other comments that are complaining about the non-rechargable, non-replaceable battery.

I would actually prefer a device that's twice as expensive but with a battery that you can charge or replace.

Linux isn't a single OS. It's hundreds of different and weird combinations.

There are Linux distributions that are better than Windows or iOS for grandma to use as well as distributions where you need to be an expert to do anything.


It doesn't matter, your options are either X11 or a Wayland-based compositor, both of them come with their respective headaches that a regular user has NO IDEA how to fix.

Unlike Windows, right? Right? Guys?


This is only accurate for people who choose enthusiast-centric DIY distributions such as Arch.

“Regular” users have plenty of distribution choices where there are zero of these types of headaches.

The promise was to make this available for everyone, to send money everywhere.

For example for me in Sweden it's really, really hard to send money directly to people in Ukraine since the Swedish banks simply refuse to send money there.


I was thinking of how this mirrors the actions of people currently pushing AI. Or the dotcom bubble. Or "big data". The examples just keeps going...

They've been threatening Europe for years to not cross a line otherwise they'll nuke. Lines were crossed and nukes were not launched.

Where does the corruption come from?

It comes from an old culture that Ukraine is trying to remove themselves from, hence the large amount of corruption charges we see.

The same culture is incidentally what makes Russia one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
