Better give them those Selena Gomez Oreos

Nah, Sam. I think it's your time that's soon over...

My point was exactly that, if Electron apps are encouraged by Microslop they're at least partially giving up on their push for UWP apps

During the oil crisis in the 70s, the German government introduced the "Autofreier Sonntag" (car-fee Sunday). On four days per year, no-one (apart from emergency responders, police etc.) was allowed to drive their car.

I think this should make a comeback, maybe even an international one.

So no more UWP apps? Ok, I thought those were supposed to be the future but whatever...

Is this another one of those "[blank] shouldn't be political" excuses?

Apple is also responsible for the Beats line of products since they bought the rights some time ago.

I'd love to try working at a radio station or a record store, just to do something related to music

Reading through the study, not all samples contained unsafe levels of those chemicals. It's interesting to note how many brand-name over-ear and in-ear headphones do, though, including products by Apple, Bose, Samsung and Sony.

Unfortunately, none of the headphones I own were on the list. The only IEMs they test are the KZ EDX, which do ok.

I will permanently relocate. Never heard of expat.com, but I'll definitely check it out.

Facebook is still pretty popular in Australia, as far as I know. Every group related to expats/immigrants in Australia I've seen has been inactive for some time, though.

Really? Why didn't you just reinstall the OS?

 

I plan on moving from Germany to Australia in September.

So far I've been doing ok with the planning but I was wondering if there were any specific groups or forums for people like me/expats in Australia with tips and connections that could be useful to me. I already looked at a bunch of forums and it seems that at least the German language ones are largely inactive.

For most common users they don’t care. They don’t even know what soldered RAM is.

They should, because when it's time to sell the laptop one with soldered RAM is gonna be worth a lot less (at least to me).

Chromebooks with low RAM are fine for many use cases. I’ve got a chromebook with only 4GB of RAM and its perfectly fine for web browsing or watching streaming which is the only things I use it for.

Fair, but there's still the potential of it becoming a paperweight if the RAM chips give out or Google forces AI shit into ChromeOS.

 

Looks more like a cove imo

Near West Head, Sydney. Sorry for the crappy photo, I had to zoom in quite a bit.

 

Super cool location, felt pretty unreal actually being there... shame you can't go inside any more

Edit: Seems like they made a new website for it! I hope they can turn it around somehow

Before you say something, I am aware now that cashew nuts aren't that good for them (too fatty) and that you probably shouldn't feed them at all.

I went to the Lagoon that morning specifically to feed a cocky and I did... as well as about a dozen ducks. I'm sorry, I won't do it again.

 

Sat there for 20+ minutes just taking it all in

 

Saw some people posting random pictures lately, figured I might as well join in. This was near Wollundry Lagoon in Wagga

 

First of all, sorry if this really isn't the right spot for this but I figured that maybe some Aussies in here recognise it.

I've had this stuffed frilled-neck lizard since roughly 2006 when a family member brought it back from Australia for me, I know for sure that my brother had a stuffed dinosaur with a similar design on it. According to the tag it was hand made in Australia by "Kurrajong Aboriginal Products". A quick search brought me to a company with the same name that sells child education books and hand made dolls, so the connection is kinda there but I can't be sure; they don't sell stuffed animals (anymore). I'd really like to know if anyone has seen these or even has one.

Here's some pictures I took of it.

When I was in Australia myself a while ago I searched for similar things but couldn't find anything. Even the museum shops I went to only seemed to sell generic Chinese-made stuff, which really is a shame but anyway...

 

I just came back from a 6 week trip to Australia; spending time with my relatives (some of whom I've never met before or haven't seen in 20 years) and I had a really really really great time. Everyone was so welcoming and just appreciative; I was really overwhelmed by how amazing the whole experience was.

On my flight back I was crying the whole time; I never felt like that before and just couldn't handle my emotions (much to the dismay of the people sitting next to me). Most of all I just didn't wanna return to my dysfunctional family in Germany. It's been my goal to move to Australia for some time now but after this experience I'm determined to move as soon as possible. It's gonna take a lot of figuring stuff out and it won't be easy but I'll make it work.

Just wanted to get that out there I guess.

Edit: if someone happens to have a few tips and pointers for me regarding my plans they would be greatly appreciated

 

Does anyone know how to order or configure the P14s G5 AMD with a OLED display on the German Lenovo site?

The OLED display seems to be NA exclusive apart from a few overpriced offers from third party sites...
