Agree. The dog doesn’t care for the destination anyways.

Übermorgen, the german word for overmorrow, is in abundant use in Germany. It’s far from obsolete or obscure over here.

You are very right in every aspect of this. It’s a poison, and it kills hundreds of thousands every year.

What has the EU ever done for us?

They like the Nazis. No joke.

Friend of mine runs Linux on a 15 years old cheap consumer laptop, and it’s working smoothly for browsing.

Just try. There’s no risk and no costs trying. Have fun.

That’s in fact the point I was making, in this case about SSDs. Low prices don’t help with reliability as producers use the worse part of a production run for the cheaper brands (friend of mine works for a European based manufacturer of silicon chips, and he can tell stories about the finicky processes around that tiny stuff and how they try to make the most of it).

Your reading comprehension is a bit off - I didn’t write that I only read the title, I wrote that I commented on the title.

The rest of your rant is up to you.

Don’t be scared. Just don’t fall for posts which try to get the impossible. It’s not that difficult.

I commented on the title of your post - nobody with some knowledge in that field (as you claim to have) would phrase that question that way.

Be offended, I can’t change that - but pointing out the obvious may help others to not make the mistake of hoping that there’s cheap good.

There isn’t.

You mean “cheap or reliable”. And even with the better brands it’s always the question not if but when a device will fail.

Nostalgia.

Oh, the horrors of open source… So many souls lost, so many lifes deteriorated.
