Awesome, I have more or less easy access to Chinese products! I'm going to take a look at these! I might get a free m.2 slot if I remove the Wifi card. I need to check.

EDIT: Yeah no...the M.2 from the wifi card...of course it's 2230 so it won't fit those 2280 :(

I don't think that'd be the key takeaway thing from that article. That's something we already know anyway. You don't even need to start the fire, you only need to stop the cooling for a couple hours.

The biggest issue is they're not even built to any safety standard and they don't answer to any regulator. They could all be using lead-painted asbestos or whatever concoction they'd come up with to make it all cheaper, and not even the firefighters got to check on this.

The Agency can't hold a candle to its French original, Le Bureau des Legendes or, "The Bureau". The French version is so much better and more realistic spy than any other series I might have watched. It does to spies what The Wire did to drug crime and policing back int the day. At least in my opinion (I'm not French).

There's also an unlicensed version of the Spanish series "The Ministry of Time" called Timeless. I think they settled, but I also think the end result of the adapted copy (as in, changing every subject matter so it matched a US-based timeline and events, and hence cutting the whole history to the last couple centuries basically) looked...poor.

I hope they survive. They have an insane amount of books that might be near impossible to find today. I was trying to purchase old European comics that I read when I was a kid. French, Belgian, Spanish comics from the Heavy Metal, Metal Hurlant times and so on...

Quite a few have gone out of print for a long while, with a single issue sometimes selling used for over 100US, and not in very...minty condition (they're old, after all). But they have good scans of them in Anna's. I downloaded a few I can't purchase anymore...and I'm going to go to a print shop to get them custom print.

Because they don't have the TPM lock they want for enhanced security. It's a nonstarter for GrapheneOS devs and the reason only now they're starting to branch out. However they mentioned literally Qualcomm by name integrating it on their latest elite series, so I'm thinking more devices might be compatible in the future?
