Considering building a PC is too much, how do you figure that they will week out Linux, choose a distro, and successfully install it.

Am 27 lol.
Welcome soon to my club :p

Considering the videos on youtube about creators disassembling and modifying them and the warnings creators like styropyro and The king of random did…I don’t think they should be serviced by the regular joe. Or the dangerous parts should be sealed of from the boring stuff like the buttons (e.g. door opener) so one trained technicians can reach it but the hurdle is big enough for normies.

Today I repaired my toothbrush after my room mate suggested buying another one that is cheaper than mine amd the same brand as theirs.
Looked up the model, iFixIt manual available, opened it, tightened the screw on the vibrating head for the motor and put it back together.
Working flawlessly again and 50-75€ (or even more) saved.

That “should be” is a risk…
I (probably but very likely) have enough micro plastics in my body. Don’t need to supply it with a nuclear blast of it.
Rather buy a close enough replacement from a reputable brand or buy a better kettle for the next time (sadly).

Wont do.
Why?
Exhibit A: Nintendo (Switch)
Exhibit B: Logitech

No problem :)
Cheers!

Neither of which is challenging my comment but partly agrees with it.
Both the west and the east are on the road to collapse.
And (as you said) the true question is when, not if.

But Europe (specifically the EU) is a homegenous market as in “being an open and free-to-move market”

Didnt know dbzer0 is turning into lemmy.ml

In OPs example they don’t have that already because whipping out a phone is very easy to do (just not before the situation happened).

For example, why Jellyfin over any of the *arrs

Don’t take it the wrong way, the *arrs are an awesome ecosystem and tool. Very cool integration and administration.
But I could life without or replace them. Things like Jellyfin, immich, homeassistant are more integral in the sense of usage and replacing them would be a whole ordeal I would ideally like to avoid.

Kind of.
To me they are more like accessories and not services I interact with (interact like homeassistant, immich, jellyfin).

Services like Traefik/Authelia are infrastructure. Needed but not required.
They are like a road. Nice to have and receive a smooth ride but driving on the bare ground is possible but uncomfortable ;)

Immich
Jellyfin
HomeAssistant
Dawarich
HortusFox

In that order.
Things like the *arrs, traefik/authelia, etc. are just a necessity and not something that gives back like the 5 mentioned at first.

Not if they can harvest your precious data.

Because it might be pre-seasoned lol.

Just lower your temps so it doesnt bubble as much?

What psychopath doesnt salt their pasta.
Afraid of a little NaCl?

Mhmmm…Splätzle clumps :p
Ngl, they are the best feature of doing them yourself.

It’s not disgraceful. It’s criminal,
