Yeah sounds awesome to me too tbh. My mood brightens whenever I see snow and I don't find that low sunlight levels affect me at all.
However apparently between 1-10% of people are affected by seaonal affective disorder so those people may want to avoid Finland during the winter months
How could it be a bad thing?
A friend has had a dumb phone for a few years but supplemented with an iPad for things like messaging apps, maps, banking, camera. He finds the iPad just inconvenient enough to avoid social media addiction and always-connected mentality while still convenient enough to deal with the problems you described
Phone: great for mindlessly scrolling or the odd comment.
Laptop: for actually getting anything done.
I'd use a desktop but sometimes I have to work from cafes or something so I prefer just using a laptop all the time rather than two machines
I've had a mac for years and still haven't had any need for an iCloud account. It's optional
What's that in football fields?
I've recently gotten a couple (absolutely tech illiterate) friends and family to move to Linux. It's finally there - it's much easier to use than windows now.
And if you don't want to keep shelling out for new computers every few years, doubly so - Linux works fine on decade+ old hardware (and you can keep upgrading practically indefinitely to stay within security windows, so you barely ever need to actually buy new hardware)
50km deep? Is that a typo?
That's four times as deep as the Kola Superdeep Borehole
Why cut just when bovine fren join game
Me too. And I live in NZ where there's bloody beaches everywhere. Can't move for beaches
Is it really called 2% milk? That seems inverted tbh since it's obviously 98% milk and 2% fat. Here (NZ) we call it something like "trim" or "skim" or "98% fat free"
So this is probably useful for statistics collectors in DBMSes, used for planning queries. Any other use cases jump to mind?
In Dune II (1992) the units move slower when they're off screen. This is useful because you can only select one unit at a time to give orders, so if you want to send an army into the enemy base you send them one at a time. But then you can carefully position your camera to allow the units at the rear to catch up with those in the lead so your whole army arrives at once and overwhelms the enemy.
What's the point of installing the app then? Just use netflix in a browser if you're going to use netflix. The only reason you even needed the stupid app was to use the download feature
It's hard to balance on a bike at 5km/h so that rule alone rules out bicycles from riding on a footpath, which is fine IMO
NZ too. They can when they get out though unlike US
I had to help my sister keep her 8 year old Mac going or buy a new secondhand (cheap) machine. With the options out there and with the state of Windows, I didn't even consider it.
She's ended up with her same 8 year old Mac with Ubuntu 24.04, and I've been really impressed with how it's actually great for non-technical users these days! And works really well on old hardware.
This should give her another few years of life out of the thing without worrying about software support.
