The children yearn for the 4-4-facking-2, route one, getting stuck-in.

None of this tiki-taka European stuff, inverted this and that, half spaces, quarter spaces.

Fullbacks and wingers getting chalk on their boots, sticking it in the mixer. That’s football.

It’s been long enough that most of the people who wanted an M processor as their next laptop now got one, so I don’t think it’s surprising that sales are down, after the initial blips.

Overall computers are on the down. More people do their computing on tablets or just phones most of the time. In richer countries, windows marketshare is decreasing, and Apple’s is increasing. Not really sure what else apple could do that they actually want to do.

It’d be nice if they had a MacBook SE type thing, but I don’t think they’d do that. Chromebooks captured the education market so it’s probably too late to do anything there. Mac minis are never in a position to break into the business small-PC realm because they aren’t cheap enough. Also it’d be nice if mac minis were cheaper/better-value and more expandable, but people have asked that for years and never got it.

Storage replaceabity is a serious problem for their desktop offerings, but that’s been an issue forever and they don’t care because they sell iCloud, and their monthly services businesses are doing well.

The forest is bad practice with passwords, since you get an email of your password after setting it.

The tree is OP not knowing how to describe why it’s bad and saying the wrong reason why.

My Brother laser printer/fax that looks like it came from the 90s is amazing and works with everything on default drivers. Mac, PC, Linux, Android, all of these work fine for me. The brother driver gives you more options if you care to install it, but you don’t have to.

Inkjet is a different beast. Especially the ones that don’t let you print B&W if you run out of colour ink, or that check for “legit” ink refills.

What does the lower exchange between the ruble and the dollar mean then? The ruble is worth less dollars than before.

UBS (a Swiss bank) doesn’t really have reason to lie about the wealth increase. Is the exchange rate thing just because rubles are less useful internationally because sanctions?

The US has inflation, and if the ruble is worth less dollars then that means Russia has even more inflation.

Obviously all our media wants to paint a picture of Russia doing terribly, but I wonder what the actual picture is. All the companies that left Russia left behind all their shit for Russia to use which if anything helps them keep more production in their own borders.

In an economy as tightly controlled as China, how much does deflation even matter?

Also I wonder how everywhere else having inflation will interact with this. Is China just getting affected because the rest of the world can’t afford basic necessities anymore? The article kinda touches on reduced demand from countries with inflation abroad causing this, but also doesn’t really explain anything other than going “lower number is uh bad”
