Third Secretlab, it’s still pricy but far more affordable than HM, has all the lumbar support, and whilst it looks gamer-y it lacks the awful shoulders that makes it bad for you so it’s actually comfortable.
I had to WFH at my parents for 1 day the other week, couldn’t believe how bad my back pain got from 1 day in a crappy office chair. Their support was good too, my magnet head rest kept falling down so they sent me a brand new one
A second hand NUC off eBay
Sounds shit, the admins must be right bitches
Honda and Toyota last forever. Incredibly reliable cars.
You can get manual electric cars, they’re just rare. A lot of electric conversion cars can still be manual too.
Yes, I’m from the UK so pretty much everyone here can even if they own an automatic. It’s not seen as a big deal here, it’s just normal.
I prefer manuals, I won’t be buying an automatic until my leg falls off.
Lemmy.world sucks, it’s constantly down and they block communities people want to federate with, and leave communities federated people want blocked.
Log Horizon.
I like videogames, being transported to a world that is an MMO, even down to menu boxes would be awesome.
It gets the number that’s ringing and compares it to a database it downloaded. It’s not doing anything with your sensitive data.
At most if you decide to check online reviews against a number it’ll search the phone number online, but you get a warning beforehand and you don’t have to do that.
Big fan of Mighty Car Mods. Been going since the mid 2000s, but still don’t do any BS, just good car videos. From long Top Gear Special style videos like Kei to the City down to quick and small videos like How to change your steering wheel.
I just use 7zip to make .zip if I think the person I’m sending it to won’t know what a .7z is or how to unzip it.
Firestick 4K is a cheap yet beasty device, and being Android you can install third party apps easily.
Plex/JellyFin, Kodi, Stremio. No need to spend so much on an AppleTV when the firestick is more than enough.
Also apps like SmartTubeNext and SoundTV.
If my work tried to end WFH I’d leave instantly.
2 hours drive a day is not only a waste of my time but my money on fuel.
100% there’s a hivemind. That’s why I joined lemmy.one, downvotes are disabled to try and stop hivemind downvotings and encourage discussion. On local communities it works well, if only more of the bigger federations disabled them too.
I email ePubs to my kindle, I’m told Amazon automatically converts them, I’ve had 0 issues.
But calibre can convert them anyway.
My car tax (VED) is £20 a year, Vs £0 on electric. Fuel and the extra £20 tax a year doesn’t equate to the cost of an EV just yet.
EVs are definitely still a luxury, poor people aren’t going round with EVs.
I don’t know where you are, but in Europe it’s much cheaper to buy a used Gasoline car. I just got a 1L petrol car for the equivalent of $10k, I can’t find a good electric car for anywhere close to that.
Gonna run my 90s Toyota until it’s physically impossible
Some form of exercise, I like weight lifting (bodyweight fitness is also fantastic)
Be disciplined and go even when you don’t want to because when you’re there you’re glad you are. If you progressively overload every workout you aim for a new best, something to strive for. Then at the end you get the happy chemicals. Working out is amazing for improving mental health, and you get good visual and physical health benefits too.
I think a Steam Deck is a better buy. It’s a little more pricy sure, but a lot more powerful and a LOT more games to pick from. And it docks great, I mostly play docked to my TV
