My problem with this laptop isn't with it's pricing but with who's selling it. If it was Asus or some other reputable OEM, I think I would have bought it.
I've had extremely poor experiences with some Chinese OEMs in the past and I'm not risking 1500 with unproven OEMs unless I have to.
The only browser that allows me to use any addon I want. I'll continue to use it until Mozilla fulfill their promise and allow me to load any addon I want.
I wouldn't have been able to for that emergancy bill specifically. I would have used cash.
However had I had more time to liquidate my crypto, I definitely would have used crypto. I know two people wouldn't mind buying my crypto with traditional currency.
I once was denied access to my own money over a very long weekend during which a bill popped up that I had to settle immediately. I ultimately ended up borrowing money from my family.
The reason for the denail turned out to be a clerical mistake.
The feeling of dread I experienced thanks to this tought me to always kept a small stash of cryptocurrency (and cash!) for situations like this.
In the age of uncaring mega corporations and unaccountable governments, having money not controllable by either is a necessity.
Isreal has a well established history of not honoring treaties so I don't see why Arab countries would be expected to honor their end of the deal.
The Palestinians will probably do the right thing and preserver until the israelis cross yet another red line. Let's just hope - for the israelis sake - that they don't cross a line to far.
Gice users a toggle. Give users the ability to choose whether they want sensored results or not. That would fix so many problems with slight tech and media.
Perhaps gp could have worded it a bit more kindly, but I think there is value in calling out people who espouse opinions without having sufficient knowledge to back it up. It's people like this who degrade and limit useful discourse.
My heart goes out to op and everyone else who has been unfairly effected by this conflict.
