For HW I personally use a NUC. If I were to build something today within said budget, I’d go for a second hand thin client.

For example the Thinkcentre M720q Tiny I can buy for 225EUR, coming with 8th gen core i5, 8GiB RAM, 256GiB SSD (1). Idle consumption is around 5W.

I use syncthing to sync folders between phone, tablet, desktop and my home server (a NUC).

Then rsync on a schedule from the server to a second off-site server (also a NUC) as backup, connected through zerotier.

I know of truenas, which is a more NAS like solution, but haven’t personally used that.

I use Feedbro, a firefox addon

Starting today, all new mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, speakers, keyboards and many other electronics sold in the EU will have to be equipped with a USB Type-C charging port,"

How can it be used for other things, if this law makes that illegal?

What happens if the better technology is invented by a company not part of that chosen tech club? They get to block it’s adoption?

I don’t think that will occur, because what’s the point of developing USB-G if you’re not allowed to use it in a product?

That’s impossible. Poverty in a socialist state? 50% of the population? That should be illegal.

The poverty figure for the first six months of this year was 52.9%, up from 41.7% in the second half of 2023, said the country’s Indec statistics agency.

From worse to worse

They already were living in poverty

Tldr:

On taking power, Milei implemented a series of austerity measures, including slashing energy and transportation subsidies, laying off tens of thousands of government workers, freezing public infrastructure projects and imposing wage and pension freezes below inflation.

It has been brutal. Unemployment has climbed, economic activity has declined and poverty has surged.

But now signs have emerged that Argentina’s bizarre and long mismanaged economy is starting to look a little more normal.

Inflation, Argentina’s perpetual scourge and Milei’s top priority upon coming to office, slowed from a monthly rate of 25.5% in December 2023 to just 2.7% in October

A stronger peso is also boosting confidence. The black market dollar price has dropped since July, narrowing its gap with the official rate of 980. Chileans, once accustomed to bargain-hunting in Argentina, are now surprised to see the traffic reversed.

That his approval ratings have held up at some 50% is also a sign of how desperately Argentines wanted change after years of crisis. “Strangely enough, there comes a time in all societies, when the cost of a fiscal adjustment becomes less than the cost of continuing with inflation,” said Sebastián Mazzuca, an Argentine political scientist at Johns Hopkins University. “It’s like a fire. There are badly injured people, but the fire was put out, wasn’t it?”

China is leading the world in increase (as in first derivative) of emissions of greenhouse gasses, too. Both that, and deployment of solar/wind are going up.

And yes, to the best of my knowledge, EU “greenified” by outsourcing emissions, and importing products and goods.

Not really. Deindustrialization of EU is in large part driven by high energy cost (1). Most visible in chemical and automotive sector. This affects countries national budgets, and citizens well being.

Can take the people out of the soviet. But sadly can’t take the soviet out of some people.
