more like pov you're in germany. We take recycling management serious and joke about those who destroy humanity.

Relatable.

Ist heute schon das dritte Maimai mit dieser Optik auf feddit, die definitiv von irgendeiner KI ausgerotzt wurde. Dass jetzt meme-Generatoren das ernsthaft als Quellbilder hernehmen, stimmt mich noch trauriger. Jetzt ist es auch noch an den Machern von Maimais, vorher das Bild zu checken. Dir sei dieses Mal verziehen, das ist dann wohl definitiv neu.

Keine Ahnung warum, diese Optik sagt mir einfach nur "Ich hab fast keine Arbeit hineingesteckt, hier die Phantasiebilder irgendeiner anonymen Bildgenerator-Instanz".

Ist es ein neuer Trend, Maimai-Bilder von KIs schlecht auskotzen zu lassen? Ich hoffe nicht. Sieht widerlich aus.

Everybody got that? ...Good.

Well OP, time to use Revanced to recompile your YouTube app. It's easy nowadays.

BR = Bayrischer Rundfunk, nicht Betriebsrat. War schon etwas irritiert.

Can confirm. That's also why most appliances are surprisingly repairable today. You can just buy used appliances that aren't working as long as it's something minor like leaking or squeaking of a washer, no heating of a dryer, rumbling like crazy, etc. Inside you usually find many parts from Whirlpool and a few other components like Bosch Motors (which often enough do not actually fail). Those parts have numbers you can find for cheap online. Just get a proper(!) bitset with some generic tools and go watch Youtube repair videos. It's too easy these days.

Heck I even bought a completely dead machine where the description clearly matched a note online that a resistor and a single easy-to-solder chip for 2$ total need to be replaced. That repair worked for 5 years until I sold it for a better machine.

This. Go ahead and tell everyone that you are worried about your mother and would like to see her anytime and check on her for your own peace of mind. Post a clear, preferably large, sign up front that there's an active camera in the room. But do not insist on it. That'll tell you all you need to know about the staff very quickly.

For the camera, use a regular old wifi-enabled baby monitor (App-controlled for best results) and connect it to a mobile Internet router. These routers have internal logs - learn how to access them, then check them (remotely, after setting up security in them) at intervals for suspicious reboot events.

Perspective: My SO didn't really care at first why I didn't want to use the built-in TV speakers, but rather install some higher-end speakers and a DAC to drive them. After a while, she went to visit a friend and came back to celebrate our setup.

Value: Do you need a super-big, expensive TV or a smaller, higher PPI TV that you can sit closer to? What you really want is clarity, brightness, color, and smooth video. If people could never afford such a display and only had crappy TVs with bad video sources and only some smartphones as an alternative, the smartphone beats everything they know, of course. But if they could never afford high quality video sources and displays, how could they appreciate those things?

IMHO better than average is enough for everyday life. There's more to life than spending money and not experiencing life to the fullest. That means I focused on a nicer Bluetooth headset, some better than average speakers for both TV and PC, ... so I simply approach the point of diminishing returns on the quality scale, knowing full well I could do much better. But it's not worth the effort to me if it slowly turns into either a game of high spending or a full-blown refurbishing hobby. Same with my car: I buy them used at about 4~6 years old and sell them at 8~10 years old, spending the least amount of money while driving mostly luxury cars with lots and lots of extras.

Leatherman with matching bitset. Bought it on a whim 10 years ago and I use it constantly for lots of things. It wasn't my cheapest purchase, but damn has it gotten me out of a lot of difficult project situations where no proper toolbox was available. I've literally filled and repaired entire server racks with this thing.

I did Gentoo Stage 1 (which was very similiar to what you plan to do) in 2005 with a shitty laptop. 24 hours until I had a working shell compiled. A whole week until I had a graphical desktop working properly. Stupid me didn't have enough and did it again in 2013 with better hardware within just 36 hours to the desktop.

If you seek a challenge that leaves you with angelic patience once you've overcome the never ending rages you'll encounter to push through to the end against all odds, lots of errors, bad documentation, dependencies from hell AND keeping it running, which will inevitably raise your patience muscles strength again and again, then yes, do it. Just accept that at some point, something will break inside you.
