Considering inflation, games should be a lot more expensive!
...and, considering the economics of scale, they should be a lot less expensive.
It's not like inflation is the only driver behind prices.

It used to back in the day, especially if you tried using shitty windows usb inkjets.
Nowadays basically all printers are network printers (they are, aren't they?) plus we have cups which is the same thing macos uses (so manufacturers actually care).
Agreed. I don't come here to read about windows.
Also, "microsoft's ads for linux" in the title is ~~a fraud~~ clickbait.
(I assume you meant "I created a separated /var partition")
You can move/resize partitions from basically any live usb (via cli or gparted for gnome and kde partition manager for kde).
Shall you want to, you can also merge the var partition with (say) your root partition:
- mount both partitions in two directories (just create empty ones and mount on them, say ~/root and ~/var)
- inside ~/root create the new var/ directory
- copy the data over
- edit ~/root/etc/fstab (remove the line for the old var partition)
- use whatever partitioning tool to get rid of the actual partition and expand the previous/next one
Be aware that you can very easily lose your data ;)
PS: just in case, try running flatpak uninstall --unused
You can use OnFailure in your .service file if you want some thing to happen when that specific service fails, but I don't know if there's a blanket way to tell systemd to notify via email when any failure happens (I wouldn't mind a desktop notification... will investigate)
I'd recommend learning/using systemd timers instead (well, if you are on inux and your distro uses systems)
I guess I'll worry about this in 2 weeks then
ebay, ebay, ebay (and also pcpartpicker).
Unless you want to frag people at 4k@140Hz in the latest AAA game, you probably don't need the latest generation components (and I'd say your requirement are quite low here, consider how the only thing you complain about is storage space).
Unless you really want to assemble everything by yourself, consider buying one of the second-hand, previous-gen gaming rigs on ebay (but watch out for scams!). Even if you do want to assemble the PC yourself, consider buying used parts on ebay (or buying a full PC to cannibalize reselling the excess).
What are the specs of your current rig? Except for storage, are you satisfied with how it runs? How much storage do you need for the projects you are working on? How much to archive things? Do you want to do anything about backups? Is a full size tower ok? How good a video do you want? What is your budget?
Well... I'd rather say It's the only reason why we still care about Mozilla and put up with their crap :)
It's quite easy to get rid of all that crap: just come living in the EU
The problem with Chinese EVs is that they show it’s possible to innovate, keep prices down, and mass produce.
It's not only possible, it's easy: you just need terrible labor and environmental standards, poor welfare, cheap access to raw materials, and tons of state subsidies :)
It's interesting to note that "we" knew all along it would end like this but just couldn't resist moving/outsourcing production to China nor investing in China's fast-growing economy.
"We" were chasing short-term profits and China was playing the long game. Apparently, both parties won, each at their own game.
Stop making $70K SUVs and start making $20K Taurus and Escort EVs. You did it once. You can do it again.
The cost of batteries is (relatively) higher for cheap vehicles, so that's the segment where it makes the most difference.
That's catchy, but not entirely true.
China heavily subsidizes EV manufacturers (and production in general), plus they have cheaper environmental and labour standards... it's not like there's a fair market EU companies can compete in without some sort of handicap.
PS: Yes, "western" countries have been playing along with China's deliberate long term strategy with full awareness of where it would lead, but that's another story that is both much older and has a much broader scope than the EV industry.
