At the end of the day, it is what it is: to move the needle through a paradigm shift, we need to think outside the box, be proactive, pick the low-hanging fruit, get our ducks in a row, go back to the drawing board, and finally address the elephant in the room.
My biggest pet peeve is that now regular algorhythms are being called AI. Or the other day someone asked me to share a 'prompt' for a google search. Wtf.
Im not sure if this counts because they have factories around the globe, but the company is Danish: ECCO. They're not the prettiest, but they're the most comfortable shoes i know
I can also recommend the first law trilogy, just finished it. There's actually some standalone books and a second trilogy in that world, i'm reading 'best served cold' now which is also excellent and features some characters from the trilogy. Can't wait to read the rest and dread the day i read them all.
I got 2 dirt cheap second hand Wii's last month, with some accessories. I never owned one and now that i'm a dad i wanted to introduce my kid to video games and play with him. Installed homebrew on one and keeping the other one as a backup. We love it. I was surprised with how well the games hold up, Super Mario Galaxy is amazing. My kid loves Kirby's Epic yarn, which I must admit is absolutely stunning visually and in gameplay.
Someone else mentioned getting a small form factor pc and then do emulation, that's also a great low budget idea. The only thing with that i found is finding the right input devices. Especially wii emulation is hard because of the wii remote and nunchuck, which is why i went on the hunt for the hardware. But the emulation route is very viable otherways. I run bazzite linux and can recommend it.
I did this about a year ago, and started with tailscale. But for some bizarre reason, tailscale would cause my entire internet connection to drop. I had the internet provider come out 5 times to fix it, i got a new router twice, they even checked for cable problems between my house and the neighbourhood switch. All to no avail. I would lose internet connection several times a day until i would reboot my router. I then found someone on their forum mention that tailscale was causing problems, so i turned it off. The problems stopped. I found no way to mitigate this.
I ended up running wireguard, which works great for me, but does have a bit of a learning curve. I have rented a tiny cloud server which is the central hub, and all of my services run in podman with their own wireguard config. I run my own dns for the lacal domains. It took me a bit of effort, but is now running very stable.

That movie gave me PTSD

Even on a shoestring budget you can get far. My equipment:
10 euro 'grinder' 30 euro moka pot (bialetti) Decent beans (segafredo, lavazza) about 10 euro per kilo (on offer), lasts my family about a month.
I like late macchiato, which in my case is about 2 thirds milk heated in the micro, 1 third coffee.
I know the above will horrify real coffee enthusiasts, but I can tell you it's a lot better than starbucks, and a lot cheaper too.
Not OP, but I do that with wireguard.

Decatipated
Yeah I figured, it's poorly written in this statement. Like the whole device becomes unusable.
Factory reset is bricking the device? Did I read that correct?
No need to fight, go evil
Westworld season 2 should have been Eastworld
I hear good stories about vimm's lair
I kinda liked it, not great by any means, maybe 3/5. But i liked the book way better
"I fok horses" "Pardon?" "Yes, paarden!"
I have it too but don't use it. What do u use it for?

Good luck!
