  • Yes, but you sometimes get an IP that forces you to do the captcha, so it's like 50/50 - not a full solution. You can try it

    Young Chinese are getting paid to be 'full-time children' as jobs become harder to find | CNN Business
  • He wasn't forced to work, he just wanted some spending money above what good parents have him. What's wrong with that?

    It's not like scooping ice cream requires special skills

  • China doesn't even have a free healthcare system. Everyone still needs to pay, even though there are subsidies. In real life, there's little difference between the US and China

    Is Ukraine’s offensive stalling?
  • It's basically the Russian offensive backwards, taking back Andriyivka, Klischiyivka, going towards Bakhmut. But it's playing back about three times faster

    TSMC warns over deepening slump in chipmaking sector. World’s largest contract semiconductor manufacturer expects 2023 revenue to drop by 10%.
  • An Apple laptop doesn't have replaceable RAM or storage because they want to upcharge on those items.

    The average laptop is okay, but ports are soldered. Framework ports are all USB C internally so you actualy customize what you want and they can be plugged and unplugged

    Screens are often glued on as well. But the killer feature is upgradable mobo and GPU. Nobody has supported a new generation of GPUs, if they come out with RDNA 4 upgrade for the current gen that will be a first in decades.

    They already succeeded with a mobo upgrade so you could have bought an 11th gen Intel and changed to AMD or 13th gen

  • Yes, my laptop is ten years old. It doesn't support nvme and its HDD is dying. I need a new one. I'm not going to throw money on a 5000 series Intel laptop with a GPU that has been out of order for five years.

    It can't handle AV1 decode even in software. It supports 4K, but not actually fast enough to play back videos in this resolution.

    The HDMI port is half broken. Even if I upgraded the other parts, I'm not going to solder a new port.

    I also want to support Framework and their goal of repairable and upgradable laptops
