I would guess even if xiaomi would do the same, it would still be china devices only i suppose. Those that don't even have Google Play Store certification

THIS!

MTP sucks hard and is slow and easy to overload with many files.

My 4.2 device was Umi X2 Chinese phone and I even hacked together couple Roms for such Meadiatek based devices back then. I remember my lightest ROM was like 250mb. With working PlayStore and all, but obviously only bare minimum included. Nowadays even the lightest custom Roms are 700mb+ . With Google apps and all easy 1.5GB and more.

But the thing is, only just because we can't prove it now, doesn't mean it's false. You sound like the people who would have believed that the earth is center of the universe in the middle aged. And most people thought that, even "scientist". So you would have been perfectly right to believe it. You would not sound crazy. But yet wrong. What i want to tell you, don't be ignorant and don't form opinions on stuff you don't understand. Try it in lower dose. Imagine sober real life like folders browsing back and forth. But on shrooms (or LSD, DMT etc) it's like viewing a whole folder tree. You are able to make connections to thoughts you never would have connected in real life, because they are not directly related. So called "Ahh" moments. I will never give up drugs because of that greater understanding of own knowledge. Remember, knowing is not understanding. Such drugs allow you to truly understand. And as a side note, i had the same view as you when I was young. Now i know that i just was ignorant. In the end of the day, fuck what others say. You need to think for yourself and understand the world for yourself !

Some user has pointed out in some other corona HN post, that Italy has a very high antibiotic's resistance. And corona does not kill directly after all in most cases. Its the bacteria and other illness you might have, which gets you.

But with this logic, intel could finance this so much better than AMD. But we still see mostly Intel with security issues

True, it's a fact. But what's not a fact, that CO2 is the reason for that. We humans can do nothing about it. How do you else explain some ice age with 10x the CO2 amount in the far past. But don't misunderstand that I am against a cleaner future. Efficiency should be always improved, in every field. But I am against unnecessary change just because of CO2. For example it's better for the environment to use your old car as long as possible instead building new electric cars. This is less efficient overall than repairing and maintaining the tech of today. The whole climate change topic is far more political than actually fact based.

You have to try Kiwi Browser. It has build in ad blocker (need to be enabled in settings first) and a real dark mode for websites. And bottom UI.

If you have a 512mb SD card, you should probably not use it anymore. Even if you don't need the storage.

Solus did used some clear Linux tuning back in the days when Ikey (founder) was still main Dev. Now the optimizations are still there, but you feel there are getting more rough edges than less, overall. So can't fully recommend Solus OS like I did a year ago :/

Maybe the dark net will become the "new" internet some day in the near future with all the freedom limiting regulations going on.

I really wonder what they have legally against deep dot web. The site just provided the links and reviews of the darknet marketplaces. So users could look up what might be trustable and what better to avoid. Information is not illegal. and should never be.

The referral link stuff is maybe gray area, but you can not see who bought what and for how much from your referral link.

But maybe the website owner(s) had some illegal side business going on dark net markets, and FBI just took deepdotweb down with everything else connected to the owners.
