I AM NO MAN YOU PIECE OF SHIT
depends on where you are, I just know that looking at an upgrade earlier this year (I REFUSE smart tvs) we found better jobs on the commercial front.
Ironically we ended up scoring one from our local buy nothing group, but I did find https://hometheateracademy.com/best-dumb-non-smart-tvs/ if it helps.
Look for commercial models.

Underdogs was such a great site
Do you have many friends that rent?
Don’t try and turn this into a ridiculous class war statement on me. Am I a homeowner? Yes. I’ve literally only been a homeowner for 13 months. Before that, I rented for over 26 years. Most of my friends still rent.
And yes, there are people who choose to rent - some choose the motility, some choose to invest over mortgage and some choose to remain renters for the reasons stated in the start of this very comment thread. Don’t pretend otherwise.
You’re still acting like loan debt repayments and a rental payment are the same thing. They are not. I don’t care how many times you go to the “if you stop paying you lose your home” well, that’s the barest, most facile comparison imaginable.
In short: I don’t care how badly you want to be a pontificating chud
A bank does not legally own a house under mortgage.
Rent and loan repayments are not the same thing.
Get over it.
repaying a loan is not ‘rent-like behaviour’, applying a brush that broad would paint any regular payment as ‘rent-like behaviour’, which is preposterous.
‘Economic rent’ is a meaningless phrase, especially in this context. Rent is a concept of lease without ownership. We are literally talking about owning property. There is no rent. There is debt and burden, sure, but there is no rent.
Equity is not a lie. It’s the very simple concept of a property’s worth after deduction of amounts owing. Now the nuances and application has gotten insanely out of control in miltiple countries (I’m Australian, ask me about our multigenerational housing inequities!) But the basic idea of inflation increasing cost/value is generally sound.
A rental property and a ppr are nowhere near each other, not financially, socially or emotionally. They cannot be equated, no matter how much you torture the syntax. Each has their place for personal preference, but they are not the same
…no. I mean, you can have your feels on home ownership being a fiduciary trap, but don’t try to present them as fact.
What is incorrect are claims the bank owns the house.
The bank does not. A mortgage is a debt on the property, or if you like, a debt with the house as collateral. While this gives the bank certain rights while the mortgage is still extant (if sold they will be repaid, etc, if the debt is not paid the house is taken In recompense), they do. Not. Own. The. House. They have zero ownership. The house belongs to those on the title.
I really hate the ‘banks owns the house’ mentality, it’s not true and this weird transferral of power to ‘another landlord’ is putting the collar around your own neck and ceding power for no reason
But will it do the tory Power Stance?
the funniest part of the fall of MS for me has been the cunts getting so excited about fucking off the home users they forgot one vital thing: C-suite and beancounters run at a home user level. And most infrastructure techs will happily flick to a linux distro come server build time.
Their current direction has also pretty much killed their use in anything related to media distribution, it’s virtually a detailed list of TPN violations
I think you’ll find these machines are exceedingly usable when you put a non-bloated OS on them
How the fuck they haven’t been slapped with an anticompetitive is beyon - oohh right. End stage capitalism
We all think we’re in the worst timeline, but have you considered we’re in the funniest? From an outside perspective
Which will result in federal agencies going straight up their arse.
Many countries outside the US have actual consumer protections
Good thing openWRT works on those
Polaris.
Yes i am old
Yup. Mozilla’s brilliant this way, it’s how i’ve migrated my seamonkey mail for decades
Yeah that’s what happens when you throw your engineers out for business majors at a tech company
Because you’re dealing with lifelong windows users who want a reassuringly familiar looking OS not fucking linux techs
