Ah i get it. But that tax is minimal and applies on specific hs codes. Like “additional 10% on polyester fabric shirts manufactured in that specific country”

I assumed it was applied it anyway together with the vat, it’s technically possible during the ioss declaration. Maybe it’s difficult to calculate for small stuff as especially clothing do the tour of the world, manufactured in Bangladesh, labeled in turkey, sent back to china for logistics

At least now everything is taxed at ~20% and china post seems stopped abusing the postal service by canceling their package service to Europe (source for that, a month ago I personally tried to send a package to myself from a Chinese post office, they said they don’t do that anymore, had to fit the stuff in the luggage) so now Alibaba and similar they ship a big container to Europe with combined orders and then use local shipping

How the us is doing by having the threshold so high is insane, leaving door open to abuse. It might made sense until the 80s when international trade was limited to big imports and there was no e-commerce. In my country every single package would declare a value of 799 and nobody would pay a dime lol

Like the far right in my country before the elections “We have the solution to fix the economy, vote for us” - without of course saying what they’re going to do.

Unfortunately, majority of people believed them

Populism works, people like to vote for someone that says what they want to listen even if it’s obvious that they’re not going to do that

But it’s not true. The threshold now is 0€, everything needs to pay vat since one year ago. Over 150€ it just can’t do the automatic ioss vat payment

? under 150 euro the VAT is already automatically collected via IOSS, or it would be held at customs even if it’s declared as gift with 0€ value.

Google dialer?

Ad free, not slow, but collecting all possible data on your calls.

I like that it’s blocking the spam calls, I get 10 spam calls for each real call. Unfortunately that needs to send back to them all my phone calls with their caller id.

I hate how it shows the call log. It only shows the latest action ever for a number and doesn’t even show the time. This is especially infuriating when you need to see what time someone called. For example my doctor office called to move my appointment, then when I showed up they said that wasn’t true and wanted to charged me for a no-show. I wasn’t able to prove immediately that they called me on which day and at which time to move the appointment because the “simplified” call log only shows the latest call action which was that I called back several days after that.

I already tried to swap circuit boards in identical Seagate ide drives and not only it worked to recover the data but technically that windows 98 PC still boots today (I turn it on once a year because I have a very old SCSI film scanner that doesn’t work with newer stuff)

You should try the experience, I used ddrescue to create an image

Mondo TV makes copycat cartoons with bad storytelling, bad drawing and bad dubbing, to be sold in those €2 DVDs in the supermarket bargain bins

I have the feeling that half a million is the profit of a decade

also, when you have 5g failover on the router and the fiber it’s down, it automagically continues to work without admin intervention

For me it was annoying enough to switch to android. I really felt like I had to use iCloud, forced through my throat. I have ocd and a red dot means “I need to open this app immediately RIGHT NOW to clear it” - and then your can’t clear it until you subscribe

it’s a dark pattern deliberately chosen to let people get annoyed and pay for icloud. On windows people instead will accidentally fill their onedrive account and that’s it. They won’t even know that they’re using it. It might send some scary emails like “your cloud backup is full!!!11 you gonna lose everything!!111” but those go directly in spam. Error messages in windows for regular users appear like “����� �������� �����������” - their eyes don’t have the right encoding to understand the message, so they just click OK and dismiss it. Instead, the red dot is prominent in the home screen of every iphone and bother also those that don’t read the error messages…

I had one of those NAS (NSA320). Even when they were new and suppoted they were using some ancient custom version of linux with ancient packages. It would be insane to expose them on the internet.

They never reinstalled OneDrive after an update… yet

(I hate how I have to uninstall useless shit after updates)

Yes, it doesn’t get re enabled but I totally hate that annoying red dot on settings if you don’t set iCloud

Isn’t apple doing the same?

Designed to fill the 5gb immediately so you’re going to buy more cloud space immediately

When I had an iPhone, there was an annoying red dot on the settings icon “warning, you didn’t enable cloud backups for photos”, and if you enabled it become an annoying red dot “warning you ran out of iCloud space”

Well, first there are a million active forks.

Second, it’s literally useless. It just shows your PC specs so when you screenshot and share it online people can know that you could afford that specific hardware. E-penis 2.0

never heard about stcp nor i see something called like that in their github repository

Does it have authentication?

For safety i’d add an additional layer of authentication. Easy way: cloudflare access + cloudflare tunnel; hard mode: authelia + a reverse proxy

I don’t get this kind of people.

People are not robots. Workers after 8 hours are definitely less productive and more distracted. Since anyway you’re going to pay by the hour (right? You are going to pay the extra hours, right?) isn’t better to pay a different shift? Then your office has always fresh people with happier morale and not zombies that are just waiting to go home after 12 hours of slave work

It seems unlikely that with this lspci output you actually have a Radeon.

Any sticker on the board that say it’s a Radeon? Maybe the seller “accidentally” swapped the heatsinks with a different card when cleaning that (but GPU heatsinks aren’t universal like this IMHO)

Try on a different computer as a main GPU

What were they thinking, it was almost identical to the burger king brand identity

Where’s the selfhosting in something that is server-side proprietary code?
