It’s primarily a difference in gender. „Der See“ (masculine) is a lake, while „die See“ (feminine) is the ocean.
But yes, it’s much more common to talk about „Meer“ and „Ozean“. Talking about „die See“ is a bit archaic and pirate-speak-ish.

Well but the artists won’t get any money from you either then. Not that they would get much from Spotify anyways. They’re among the worst in artist payouts.

Definitely more accurate than the donuts. That would have been it before arc but dang, it’s then only thing worth a damn they do at the moment.

8bitDo‘s controllers are totally awesome, especially for the price. If I ever need a new controller (aka whence my XBox One Controllers break), 8bitDo is definitely the way to go.

It could. It might not. But it’s intel so the probability they’ve actually locked it down is higher than with AMD. But hardware is often more capable than what the specs say. That’s why overclocking is a thing or, in the past, you could unlock an extra core on some processors. It’s just never a guarantee and can vary from part to part, even if it’s the same model.

Well, depends on the price point but below 500-600€, yea, Apple has nothing to offer. At or above that price point, there obviously are counterparts to Apple devices and vice versa.

The fairphone 6 is the first fairphone that I feel I can just recommend to anyone who is looking for a(n android) phone in that price range. It has no significant drawback that I can see, unlike previous models which were often severely underpowered.

The glass is clearly half full, if you started with an empty glass and half empty, if you started with a full one.

Yea, I wouldn’t personally get a Samsung, even if I was in the market for a cheap Android…

I was just backing you up with an approximate exchange rate.

Touché. While Mesa is rock solid, using AMD cards for compute is indeed a fool‘s errand.

I’m well aware of apple’s strategy and I myself am typing this on an iPhone 13 mini I bought refurbished.

However, for public perception of a brand as being expensive, used/refurbished models don’t really count. The cheapest phone Apple currently sells new (16e) is about 600€; 700€ directly from Apple. That’s not a cheap phone.
Samsung, as one of the most expensive android brands, still sells a variety of phones well below that, as low as 80€ for a brand new phone.

That obviously skews the perception towards Samsung being more affordable than Apple. Which they are. I cannot possibly get a new iPhone at 80€ or even a decent refurbished one.

But of course that still doesn’t mean iPhones are overpriced. You usually get what you pay for and similar devices by other manufacturers are usually just as expensive.
