Even in Europe cars are a necessity in a lot of cases. I live in a pretty small village and the only store is 2 towns over and on a pretty steep hill. It would be possible on a motorcycle(I saw normal ebikes struggle to get up) if you're alone and don't need anything from the store.

It is true, do some research please before making such statements. Drives can and do die while on the shelf, that is partially because of something called bit rot but could also be because of the place where it was stored.

The chances of a perfect "as new" drive dying while on the shelf are low but are still there

Not really, he says that he only 10gb left of his 300gb.

Like the other guy said I also think that he's just running low on space. Secondly not using the drive will keep it good for longer but it will still bit rot(if he plans to keep the drives for very long)

Wow now that you say that, could be true. Till now I was confined that they(or at least mine) don't have though at all

I thought of naming my cat scooter/moped because of the sound. But ended up naming him haloumi.

Ok didn't know that. But that is a good explanation why i haven't seen 4y contracts since some years

Here in Europe you can also get pretty good phones with such contracts. But the contracts are insanely overpriced for sometime 30€/month for 2gb. Where you pay 10€ for 2gb without a phone.

I know phones cost money but when they lock you in a shitty contract for 2 or even 4 years, is it even worth it.

If you want to install linux because it doesn't support the newest mac os version i would recommend opencore patcher. I use it on my 2013 Macbook pro and it works perfectly fine on ventura(mac os 13) and should work fine on mac os 14

I have the same lenovo and it indeed seems impossible what it can do. I installed linux on it so my mother could use it and I was blown away by the performance
