In my experience the vast majority of cheap knives can't hold an edge at all. The super budget stainless used is just too soft. At the same time I can find many in the $70-100 range that do considerably better in that regard - I sharpen them 3-4 times less frequently.

I prefer to spend a little more on the 1-2 that get the most use.

One exception: I wouldn't buy a noname filter claiming to e.g. be a hepa filter or having high MERV rating - I wouldn't trust a brand that might not be around long enough to be penalized for false advertising

Decibel scale is logarithmic, which means 10db change is reducing perceived volume by half.

Yes. PSN is only available in about 70 countries (out of 190). E.g. in the entire continent of Africa only one country has access.

Even some members of European Union don't get PSN.

I've had a company require employees to install MDM on personal phones (remote control/management) to be allowed to use them for 2fa app or email access.. there was a surprised Pikachu when I refused. Eventually they issued me a company phone, because it was impossible to do most tasks without 2fa. That device was on 9 to 5 only.

Be very very careful - it's a slippery slope. My wife wanted "a small garden and maybe do some canning". Fast forward 3 years:

  • I've turned 2000m² (1/2 acre) of a meadow into a garden
  • I've learned how to build basic wooden structures and I've built a greenhouse
  • we've harvested over 2000 kg (4400lbs) of vegetables this year
  • I've purchased jars by pallet load this year. Twice. All are full.
  • I've had to buy and assemble a lot of metal shelving to store it all
  • I now own a small (27hp) tractor

And there I thought going into software development would keep my life largely free of manual labor..

Netflix limits you to 720p even on windows, unless you are using Edge: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742 (expand HTML5 browsers and scroll down).

This limitation doesn't apply to all content - it's the worst case scenario if copyright holder really put their foot down.

I don't see how an email that has no proof of delivery (could have ended in spam for example) would be legally binding.

Accepting a ToS update simply by virtue of no action is also questionable unless provisions permitting that were in the ToS you've accepted and even then it would not work in the European Union, because that's listed in the forbidden clauses registry.

Now make a $12,000 version with door locks and a basic AC and I'll buy one this week. I miss 4th/5th gen Hilux
