Thanks!
That’s enough to keep rational people from wandering in from this thread
Pick any of the three and say it’s not an authoritarian dictatorship in 2025.
To clarify, you are saying that Modi’s India isn’t an authoritarian dictatorship in your eyes?
Brazil is the odd man out,
I thought the context made it clear that the rest are authoritarian dictatorships…
Let’s start with the three big ones though:
Russia, India, China
Pick any of the three and say it’s not an authoritarian dictatorship in 2025.
That will help steer rational people away from your community and instance in general.
BRICS+
For when you don’t want to say “coalition of authoritarian dictatorships”…
BRICS is an intergovernmental organization comprising ten countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

Brazil is the odd man out, but they’re actively fighting against expanding BRICS and honestly I think the only reason they haven’t left is it’s essentially free for them.
The idea of categorizing countries by their economic and developmental status began during the Cold War with the classifications of East and West. The Soviet Union and China represented the East, and the United States and their allies represented the West. The term Third World came into parlance in the second half of the twentieth century. It originated in a 1952 article by Alfred Sauvy entitled “Trois Mondes, Une Planète”.[22] Early definitions of the Third World emphasized its exclusion from the east–west conflict of the Cold War as well as the ex-colonial status and poverty of the peoples it comprised.[22]
So…
They wanted to replace 1st, 2nd, and 3rd world to segregate countries based on economys…
But didn’t want to say that’s what they were doing, so picked a random name that doesn’t make logical sense?
Yeah, this is definitely a .ml thing
People constantly told OP that, but they just won’t stop making posts about it
No need to solder.
Someone mentioned battery blinds that charges by USB, lots of small panels provide charge by USB.
I’d say it’s worth spending extra on a panel that won’t try to charge a full battery just to be safe, but other than that with as little juice as it uses you can buy a very cheap, very small panel and just stick it in an upper corner.
Genuine question:
Why do you keep making accounts?
I’ve blocked you like 4 times now…
Lots of places play loosely with the terminology, but in general:
Refurbished: they wipes the dust off
Recertified: had an issue, was sent back to manufacturer who fixed it and checked everything else.
Past advice was always buy new, but drives last much longer than they used to. And lots of business replace to be safe when a drive could last another decade just fine.
And zero moderation!
It’s basically 4chan and OP keeps begging people to join it
yes, I’m aware of heroic launcher, and other options, but they’re still just hacked on extra steps that don’t always work)
I mean, this requires buying a windows powered handheld and then loading an entire OS on it.
So I don’t think people are locked to steam with it, but I’m honestly not sure.
Oh yeah. I wasn’t trying to complain.
The line between is just a little blurry and the sub rules don’t clarify on the sidebar, so when I saw the post I figured I’d ask.
Thanks for clarifying, I’ve been hesitant to post to either because I wasn’t sure where the line was.
Are music videos where the song talks about political issues really cool for that community?
I got one bounced from /videos and they told me to post it there, and y’all let it stay up.
It didn’t seem like a good fit, or get a single upvote, but just curious how political the divide is between the two communities.

Out of curiosity, how old was that drive?
Direct from Seagate wouldn’t be bad, check their store first to see if you can cut out Amazon.
I was talking about random reseller stores. “Manufacturer refurbished” for things you can’t see is almost always a good idea. The manufacturer has their brand name on the line and usually go over common fail points and replace if it looks worn.
Stores/Amazon doing “renewed” means they tried to cover up superficial damage and is completely different. It might look ok on the outside and be complete junk on the inside.
Think of “renewed” as “open box returns” except it might have taken the last user 5 years to return. It’s a much worse gamble.
Depends.
If it’s “buy from Amazon” then you can return it with no issue if shits bad.
If Amazon is just the middleman, than the seller could be scamming and will either fight returns or just close up shop. I wouldn’t buy any used electronic over $200 from a middle man because of that, so this is kind of on the line.
But modern HDDs hold up a lot better than they used to. I tend to “ship of Theseus” PC builds and I’ve got some HDDs probably 15 years old that are still going strong.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve heard anyone say a HDD failed. Just people remembering what it was like 25 years ago. We don’t think of innovation with old tech like HDDs, but there’s been a lot of improvements to the parts that used to fail regularly.
Exos x18 are enterprise drives that came out last than 5 years ago, I can’t imagine they were replaced because they’re all bad, just companies upgrading to newer tech. So should be fine and last you well over a decade.
What’s actually bad about it?
Like, this is something you opt into and is only relevant if you’re watching their ad supported stuff, which I don’t know anyone who watches that over their own media on Plex.
And honestly, every “bad” thing I’ve ever heard about Plex has been the same thing, something that sounds horrible until you understand it
