Some windows-specific professional software that cannot run on Linux.
Also, work-related stuff. I may be able to make a custom setup of Linux if I try hard enough, but when it comes to dealing with servers and VPNs it's a bit beyond me. Not to mention the time it takes to figure it out and set up.
Although, the more I hear about subscriptions from Microsoft the more I want to switch.
First I was "120$ for a keyboard? Sounds very reasonable, I did my 75% build for about the same" but then it hit me that it's just keycaps.
They do look great, but that's very expensive, wow.
I think the word you're looking for is "Rossiya" (Россия) /s
But if for real, we don't have a substitute for the word.
Also expansism isn't exactly popular, people just don't care and want to be left alone. Government officials have some really outlandish views, which sometimes leaves you wondering just where in the world could they have heard something like that. Srsly, I've never ever heard the words that sometimes come out of their mouths anywhere else. They live in some sort of their own bubble where everybody's after them and any disobedience is Europe's commision. Also they treat ex-USSR territories as being unfairly taken from them. It's nuts.
Here's the thing, if you reduce the amount of people who will vote, it increases the cost of a singe vote and by extension incentivises falsifications by the ruling party.
Being able to vote isn't a privelege to cherish it, it's a right.
When it comes to such things, always remember how they can be abused, because they likely will be.
This is how informational autocracies do it. The deincentivise participation and use state employees to vote for people who didn't participate. This is how it works in Russia, Belarus, and many more other countries.
It's interesting how one entity is being described as both pro-fascist and pro-LGBT. What an oxymoron.
Also, what an irony you call them hypocrites whilst being one yourself, because:
Learn what fascism actually means
Stop putting your hand in other people's pants
Realise that step 2 is exactly what fascists are known for doing
Maybe then you'll stop being one.
Be aware that 8Gb version of 3060 is practically a different card. Think of it as 3050Ti or smth.
If you care only about games, you probably want to look at 6600xt (8Gb), 6700 (10Gb) and 6700xt (12Gb), as those offer better value than 3060, or any Nvidia card from those classes for that matter.
Also Intel A750 and A770 are an option, although you'll have to tinker a lot more with those.
Also, since you're budgeting your housing, you could also budget (as in save now, buy outright later) the GPU. It shouldn't be impacting your finances much if you do that.
There are a couple ways in which its useful to me.
First is when I just want a windows-esque interface with lots of floating windows. Especially for Office apps, because they also start looking more like their Windows counterparts. Through tablet itself it may not see that much use, but when connected to an external monitor it's really nice.
And second is when you want to separate your daily routine with work. Because Dex is visually very different you can use it as a sort of "focus mode", which works great for me personally.
Although whenever I need to do something more demanding than Excel I tend to just remote to my home PC.
I should also mention that I am studying at a uni, so unless I need to work away from home specifically and if it's not related to studying then Dex doesn't get used much and I just stick to conventional means of consuming media.
But I do know people who straight up replaced their PCs with that thing, depends on your use-case scenario.
My Samsung tabled does that. Same with their phones, it's called Dex.
You can even use the phone as a trackpad.
Pretty neat feature, I agree.
Wouldn't be so optimistic about one on the left.
Too much mold to my liking and interior is pretty tasteless.
Here's a documentary about it, with English captions. I highly recommended watching.
"fact-checking" was a bit of a crude way of putting it on my part. I'm not native, so there could've misused it.
(Went a bit overboard with a wall of text again, but of well)
Although it wasn't without the fact-checking in it's normal sense. Take "English as a foreign language", for example. One teacher will say the word is pronounced one way, the other will say its different. Who's right? Let's check Cambridge dictionary. Although it isn't always teacher's fault as a professional. Sometimes you just forget things no matter how well you know them.
The other part that I may have failed to convey is looking information up, be it a math formulae, a word, some sort of rule, name or a date.
It's way quicker than going through your books and is actually not a bad way to remember something. You either have a tab left off or you're seeing it when using the search, which makes you remember that you did look that up a while back. It's very minor, but because you're still being reminded about it from time to time, the information sticks. Essentially you're doing unintentional passive memorisation.
That's why I think that maybe not in primary, but definetly in secondary and high school banning technology is not the way to go about it. If the student uses it for entertainment during class, they won't suddenly start studying if you prohibit them from usining it. You're essentially solving a non-issue, because the majority of students aren't even using phones during classes (Well, maybe to cheat on tests, but that's hurting the quality of assessment and not education itself).
Banning phones is easy, but it's also the least impactful thing you could to to "improve" educational system. It would be of more sognificance you were to reduce classes to 8 pupils, lessen teacher's paperwork, introduce new active teaching practices, reward students for persuing their endevours and so on. But that's difficult, banning phones is easy and brings you more polical approval.
I would still disagree about phone usage.
Even when in school, phone helped me quite a bit with education. Having a way to do a quick fact-check is invaluable.
Now as I'm finishing getting my degree such devices became an inseparable part of the process.
Yes, you may not always listen to what's being said whilst using them, but lets be frank, you wouldn't be listening to those parts either way.
School education in a lot of places is fundamentally flawed. It's extremely difficult to learn when you're expected to absorb information just by listening and writing.
I'd agree with OPs sentiment here, off-topic smartphone usage isn't the cause for worse education, but instead is a result of poor engagement in the first place. Should people be more engaged in the topic then suddenly smartphones start being used as a studying tool and not for entertainment. There are many ways of achieving that, but that's a whole different story.
I'll add that you can always upgrade to 32Gb whenever you feel like it. It's the simplest upgrade you can make and takes only a couple minutes.
Realistically you'd want to upgrade to 32Gb after hitting the limit on 16Gb, this way you know for sure that it's needed. But if you're going from DDR4 to DDR5 then might as well just go 32Gb from the start.
