Ex partner, you mean?

People are idiots. Why would you give up a benefit you’re legally entitled to? Nobody is going to as much as thank you for that.

Correct, Bluetooth pairing and Bluetooth tethering are two separate functions. First is for playback, second for internet sharing.

Deadwind, police procedural crime series from Finland, on Netflix. Only subbed, no English audio available; so it takes some focus - I tried before but was too tired, but now that I got into it, it’s a pretty good story with believable characters.

How exactly can I see who downvoted? Can’t seem to find it in the regular view, and the debug info only shows the vote count, not the voter.

There are other integrations, those were the two I used so I could remember them.

Certainly wasn’t cheap, but I do need to take quite a few notes during meetings with my engineering team, clients, shareholders etc., and being able to sketch something out real quick and project it over onto the screen in our meeting room with two clicks is pretty awesome.

My company even offered to pay for it, but I wanted it to be mine.

The reMarkable 2 has built in sync capability for dropbox, google drive and a few others. That device is seriously awesome.

Kill ads on the cheaper one would be my main if not only use case.

Installing an alternative reader that can read other formats is mentioned a few times, but honestly, with Calibre that became a non-issue decades ago. Need to transfer them via cable anyway, converting in the process takes a few seconds at most.

Yeah what I also saw in the terms was that they reserve the right to sell their company without informing users other than through an update in the terms & conditions, and based on play store reviews, they terminate lifetime accounts if they find that you upload copyright protected files, even if you don’t share them with anyone.

Indexing my stuff and comparing it against external databases is a big no no for me.

So far I’m quite happy with sync.com, been using them for well over a decade. Data is fully encrypted during upload, so no matter if the server is ever breached, they wouldn’t get anything useful out of it.

I also got my own nextcloud instance up and running, but it’s with a shared hosting provider where I don’t feel as secure.

They have servers tagged as p2p enabled, those work fine. Only in the paid plan though, free is not meant for that.

Proton and Astrill are very good as well.

pCloud, under business terms fairly towards the end:

No libraries where I’m at, unfortunately, and no e-libraries whatsoever (unless we talk about not exactly legal ones).

No such thing in my city :-(

Unfortunately there is no library in my city, and no e-library in my country.

I’d put a question mark at hobby equipment, since hobbies help with destressing and contribute positively to mental health.

Same for books (assuming you consider reading relaxing). Unless you pirate ebooks of course to bypass Amazon purchases and the likes.

What exactly do you think happened with slaves too old to fulfill their duties?

Yeah I wouldn’t want to live here again anymore, it’s not fun long term. I could imagine Taiwan on the other hand side, it’s pretty awesome. Though I could imagine the constant threat from China looming over you isn’t particularly nice.

Japan is also lovely, friend of mine just moved over last year. He married a Japanese woman he met in China though, that made it rather easy.

Personally I would consider Vietnam or Thailand and maybe Philippines long term (especially after retirement), mid term we are headed for Scandinavia first.

Anytime! You could also check some blogs like nomad capitalist and others, they offer solutions like incorporating a ltd. company in Georgia (the country) or Belize and stuff, but that also comes with a host of other requirements, reporting and otherwise.

Depending on your assets, there are also some countries like Grenada for example that come with a citizenship by investment program, where you get a passport if you invest either into government bonds or buy a property that you must hold for a certain number of years. If you’d be a citizen from there and casually forget to tick the box for US citizenship when opening your Hong Kong account, you might just get away with it. (Strictly not legal, though).
