Dont go period. Even before this situation I was actively opposed to it. What people seem to conveniently forget is that the US didn't suddenly become a fascistic empire overnight because of the election of one man. Its been like this, just less "in your face" about it. Most people only seem to care now because now there is a big negative effect on the USA itself as well as other western countries, but previously while it was some south-east asian, or middle-eastern, or south-american (you get the point) country most people conveniently turned a blind eye and just consumerismed.

Thanks, and yea that was my bad, shouldnt have phrased it like that in the context of this thread. I only just noticed after reading your comment. Hopefully its good for me, im excited for it :))
As far as im aware (and please correct me if im wrong) that is true but the company is European based in the Netherlands, and given their dedication to paying and treating workers fairly I still think its a viable option for a non-US brand phone that is still competitive.
Check out Fairphone! Its really promising on the hardware side of things. I ordered mine with /e/os a couple days ago
I dont. Theyve been fascists in disguise whether intentionally or by their own stupidity for decades, causing so much pain across the world. Its high time they felt that pain themselves, and ill be relishing every bit of suffering they have to endure. I just hope im alive long enough to see the empires fall
I believe this is easily solved by considering why consumers care about origin so much in these times. Namely, to boycot US. So simply indicating on the product (e.g. with a us flag) whether any part of its production chain is US-based and hence will put money in US hands, is enough for consumers to make a choice about the product.
As a technology, crypto does (on paper) solve most problems with FIAT currencies. The problem is as always the people using it. Just like the article linked above, when you have mono/duopolies it can become a problem. In terms of crypto, when people treat(ed) it as regular currency and kept it stored in centralised locations, it makes it easy to take advantage of them.
Likewise, literacy about a technology starts off low. Just how in the early days of eshopping using a visa/mastercard there were probably many people getting scammed to input their card details in sites they shouldn't have, there are many people who dont know how to be safe while using crypto today.
Instead of being bitter to the tech because you or people you know got scammed by being careless with their money, see the positives of the tech and make steps to educate them so it doesnt happen again.
Theres no way this is an actual tweet. Guys...?
Oh, Im sorry. If I'm honest I completely forgot. Here it is:
You will need ffmpeg installed, and I did write it for Linux, so I'm not sure if there are differences for windows. Worst case you need to slightly modify it to work on windows.

If you guys can recommend a fair and open pastebin alternative for me I will upload it there as well and edit this with the link
The datasheet just has this:
But if it really is OK to use an electrolytic one given the polarity is correct, then thats still good. Ive been looking on online stores for 1uF ceramic capacitors and I couldnt find any.
