Five vs. One

Kind of lost at “luck” before starting, no?

Us nerds don’t buy laptops?

I don’t either, but there are many in my family and friends I will gladly support.

In Spain you can buy a BYD seagull for around 10.000€, with proper switches and stalks. A Hyundai for about 13.000. A really cool Renault 5 for about 20.000, if you want to buy European.

Granted, these are minis, but they are really adapted to much of Europe.

The cheapest Tesla is about 40.000, and arguably older tech.

Tesla has gone from innovator to legacy.

Not perhaps. All quotes have been authoritatively traced to Mark Twain, even this one.

I get that politicians may get deadlocked, Belgium was almost 2 years without government not long ago.

But why does the US politicians deadlock impact public spending already allotted? Especially long running programs and public employees.

In the civilized world, budgets get extended until politicians manage to change it.

“It’s been an honour to serve our nation, the American people and support and defend the Constitution for over 37 years,” he said.

Overcompensating much?

So infant genital mutilation for religious reasons is cool?

I use Xpenology on an HP Gen 8 microswrver, a pretty nifty piece of kit. Works great, but setting up and upgrading versions can be a rather involved process.

Gamer desktops tend to be power hogs. Running them 24/7 can rack up some hefty power bills, plus noise, plus space, plus other tradeoffs.

Better a used thin client.

If you have a 3d printer, or access, o know someone willing to print for you, there are many free models out there

Definitely an option, but for the price of a Pi with all the extras, case, power supply, etc, you can get a used thin client that is way more capable.

There is a guy on YouTube that often reviews these things, and discovers some models that are surprisingly capable.

Synology publishes a list of certified non-synology drives, and warns you that drives outside the list are not recommended, but, at least in non enterprise models, allows them to be used. I believe there is some rather easy way (some config file change or the like) to circumvent the limitation, but yeah, dick move.

Bargaining chip. Hehe, I see what you did there.

Tesla sells itself as a technology innovation company, but it sells hype.
