Wait, really?? Odd decision to drop libreoffice on the live version… Also I wonder what’s taking up the other 3gb of space if its missing that software.

My understanding of the situation, was they lost a lot of customers as companies stopped making things repairable, and designed planned obsolesance into their products. Then as their customer base started getting more busy with work, getting richer and getting older, they just stopped repairing things, opting to throw it out and buy new to save time, or because they had disposable income. Then because of a smaller customer base they started branching out to make a quick buck in other ways like selling you cell phones instead of electronics and repair parts. And then as the newer generations grew up, the radioshacks didn’t really have any repair parts for today’s electronics. They’d don’t sell modern computer components, they didn’t sell cell phone screens to DIY replace, or cell phone batteries, etc. So kids didn’t grow up to become a customer either.

They should have probably pivoted HARD into cell phone repair, raspberry pi boards, etc. Desktop components, etc Instead of trying to a hock an expensive iPhone contract to 55 year old long time customers. They could have been a mini micro center or Fry’s, but instead they went the direction they did…

Agreed. Everyone thinks they will be in the inner circle, until the inner circle shrinks to just 1.

Honestly, with the Trump administration in power, I’m shocked they even bothered with a recall.

The fact people are even talking about this, means we are so fucked.

GUESS THEY DIDNT NEED TO, BLATANT MARKET MANIPULATION IS TOTALLY FINE.

“We’re thinking about maybe, possibly, some time in the near future, growing a spine… Maybe… If ya know, he does what he says he’s gonna do, then, yeah, we’ll probably have to do something about that. Maybe…”

Lol. Good luck. You endorsed and enabled someone who skirts the law. Wtf are lawsuits going to do?

Because its not just going to be immigrants. Its going to be any us citizen they don’t like.

I bought a vacuum from goodwill for $24 usd when I moved to a new city 11 year ago and its still kicking. Crazy to me to spend $500 cad on something like a vacuum.

I don’t really understand what we’re seeing, its like literally anyone who has any amount of power to stop this, either actually wants what’s happening, or they just decided they were done trying, which is crazy because they will be next on the literal chopping block. People were rolling over and letting this happen months ago, before they were even ‘disappearing’ people, so I don’t get it.

Oh, and since I said ‘months ago’ let this sink in, its only been 2 months since January 20th… Jesus fucking Christ.

GEE, WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THAT COMING?!

How many times are we going to hear ‘he can’t’ or ‘he won’t’ from people regarding Trump. I had a social media post all the way back in 2017 that said “if you’re saying things like 'he can’t or ‘he won’t’ you’re in denial about what’s happening…”

8 years later and here we are, friends were saying things like ‘he can’t’ or ‘he won’t’ when before the election I expressed extreme concern about his chances of dictatorship, and here we are with politicians and the media saying ‘he can’t’ or ‘he won’t’.

Stuff you should know, but I haven’t really tried many other podcasts.

You seem to think your enemies will respect you, lol…

I think you better go ask someone on your opposing political spectrum if they’d leave you alone if they found out you had a gun when knocking on your door to arrest or harm you.

to respectfully cautious

Lmao to quote you, GTFO out here with that

Explain to me how a gun would help you when police or government agents or even just a rowdy local militia come knocking on your door, I’m genuinely interested in hearing how you think that will play out.

Thats the fun thing with fascist governments, before you’d get a fine and asked to pay back on a payment plan, and maaaybe get jail time if you reaally went out of your way to not pay your taxes year after year.

Now they can just come get ya in the middle of the night and throw you in jail for any number of reasons, not paying your taxes, being one of them. Oh and then maybe get deported because they took your ID’s and passport and when your family members throw a stink and demand you released because you’re a born and raised US citizen, oops, they can’t find you in the system.

Interesting, been using Linux for over 20 years at this point and never heard of Finnix… Any system recovery I’ve had to do, the usual basic live boot from Ubuntu or similar, had the tools I needed. I’ll have to check out fennix and see what its all about.
