Make the preserve you deserve

Very cool! I'm thinking of going for ubuntu touch, seeing as Android has proven that it's no longer worth the time investment. Also, Fairphone 5 is my next phone if the current one dies, so it works out.

Could you share what do you really like about it? And what is your biggest gripe or letdown with it? Thanks!

the old fashioned way.

A whole swath of trained toads using a special made tube network?

For audio, take to a local thrift store or Facebook marketplace or whatever platform is the most used locally and mix and match your own receiver + speaker set. A decent receiver can be found around €50, speakers can be even cheaper. Most modern speakers of some size are decent enough, bought some second hand Jamo tower speakers for 50 for the set(2) as well. Smaller bookcase speakers with minimum 4 inch (if you don't go for a seperate subwoofer) speakers can be found for €20. You need some oomph in the lower end to get some extra cinema points. Stereo sets are fine, 5.1 is fun but I'd rather have amazing stereo then ok 5.1 , you know?

For beamers, I'd look for a secondhand beamer that was used in business setting.

A clean white wall is cheap en convenient beaming surface, but a good screen will help increase brightness which can often be the most tricky part about beaming at home. But harder to do secondhand.

Sidenote, I almost never save the boxes of stuff I buy, but the tv box gets special treatment in the attic, because in the box it's very transportable, but without it, I agree, it's a big hassle.

GL!

Came here to check if someone recommended used, that's what I would do.

I can recommend Dronezone from Soma.FM for minimalistic music that is good for reading. Or The Dark Zone (also soma.fm) , if the reading is a bit more... Well... Dark :).

I wouldn't say they have shaken communities. There's also bombs going off in the sky nearby, because the German tourists are coming over in droves and they apparently love firework. Bombs. In the sky. Madness. Lights appear slightly before you hear the bombs go off. Crazy stuff y'all, stay safe.

Dutch are on average very motivated to have fun with fireworks and recently some new laws are taking those freedoms away. This seems the precise response everyone saw coming from miles away. This is just the next phase of the new legislation, enforcement..

I feel the same way as you do now, all the new tech is very interesting on a zoomed out scale, but for me personally, I don't want anything new unless I can own it completely and (at least try to) repair it myself.

So I'd put myself on +8 🤣

+1 For rice and beans. Add some drops of ketjap manis or soy sauce/salt for flavour. If you just eat rice and beans all day everyday, you're not even that far off a complete nutritional package. If you love in a potato country, switch out the rice for taters, even better nutrition but might still be a hit more expensive.

Basically it's really great to have this card out for yourself, and pretty horrible if it's on your opponent's side.
