Well, laser is pretty expensive when you want colour. I just replaced my god forsaken hp and after weighing my options i went with a brother ink tank. A laser with same features would cost well over double that.

Another important thing is that people want more than just print, i want print,scan and copy all three.

Ink is pretty cheap a whole refill will cost me 5 usd, from a third-party ink reseller for all the colours combined.

If you want black and white only, just go laser.

I looked into my options really carefully when choosing my phone last year. Few things to note, when looking for an Android phone:

  • Make sure it's either a pixel or a Snapdragon powered phone. This just means that if the manufacturer does some stupid stuff, there is a higher probability of your phone having a custom rom.
  • Stay away from Samsung if you want to install custom roms, they are really against it.
  • Pick a manufacturer of good build quality and software updates being stable, some manufacturers just half as them and brick the phone/ damage display/motherboard because they pushed update with wrong voltage.
  • if you want a basic phone and don't really care about the most beautiful photos or do heavy mobile gaming, just pick a cheap phone, it will be more than enough.

The phone I picked was Moto G52, it cost me ~150USD and it is one of the best phone experiences I've had. It lasts me 2-3 days on a charge, mostly because I do close to nothing on it just answering calling/messages and some basic internet surfing. For my purpose, it is better than a top end iPhone/Android phone.

Motorola is quite slow with updates, but the community is great and created and are now maintaing custom roms, which means I get the latest software updates quite regularly. The camera is passable, but the speakers they are loud like really really loud, louder almost all smartphone.

Bonus points: it has a headphone jack.

I am using object storage on my personal instance, migration should also be relatively simple, pictrs has good documentation.

I also got myself a surname.me domain for this reason. Now I feel like a boss.

p.s. I'm also a bit scared if the .me domain could be called of by the country,. since it's not a genericTLD, controlled by Montenegro.

You can always use context clues. For example you go they for singular and they all for group.

So no more racoons? 🥺

So did you give in and start feeding them? Or did it evolve into a war, which you lost by moving somewhere else?

Rather than a screen a good place to mount phone by default which is easy to remove and place would be amazing.

You will be surprised to find that a lot of European nations actually don't give a shit about it. I sometimes proxy to a random European country to access a few websites which are unavailable in my country.

I can't say, OP is probably saying having NONE as pronouns is bad?

If that is it, I will probably take shyguygamer667 side cause it just might be that they are not willing to disclose their pronouns and that is perfectly fine.

You don't understand, if she wasn't my sibling, it may as well have resulted in a fight.

This code was for a company, not a I'm learning and am just a beginner kind of thing. Let me share a few details about the code:

The program involved reading a csv file and doing some operations from the data it provided. It was a python program in a jupyter notebook (this is very relevant).

  • She had to create an array of the column names of the table. Her "solution" was to first print the table, then copy paste the column names into an array. When I told her to fix i pointing out the incredibly basic reasons for why not to do that, she refused. Also the table had like 10-15 columns.
  • She was using pandas dataframes, even having a variable called df in her code, also using the functions it provided. Now it will come as a surprise to you, as it came to me she doesn't know what a dataframe is.
  • The reason she showed me her code was because she was getting an error which she didn't know how to solve. The issue was that the array of column names she created and the column names in the table didn't match. This was because when she printed the table the column names were missing _ which were present in the CSV file. One of the reasons for not not doing the first point. When told of the issue she added the _ manually. She will die on that hill.
  • So in jupyter notebooks you have cells in which you add a small slice of code and you run the cell. This is really amazing. Small issue though if you close the notebook and open it again you need to rerun the cells in the correct sequence again, barely an inconvenience . To overcome this great issue, my sister just didn't do something stupid like having all her code in one cell, she was one step ahead, she had all the things she needed per cell copy-pasted. That God forsaken array of column names? You guessed it there were atleast 10 of them.

Now if she was just starting out, these could probably be forgiven, but she has been "coding" for atleast a few years now. Also she refuses to learn her mistakes.

Another interesting thing I noticed was, if she didn't know something she would not search Google but rather YouTube. I originally thought she pasted some of the code from stackoverflow which has error, but no she looked at a YouTube video copied the code by hand and that code still resulted in an error because char and int are different, she doesn't understand why it works in the video (same type), and why it doesn't work for her.I am clearly still in a shock about the whole situation and to think someone would hire her only if it is for an internship still, I pray for the world.
