Isn't this pretty much a question of how well off the person you ask is? If they can afford better they likely already have, if they can't this question might get a yes, but it will likely trap people isolated and worse off than b

Number 27 - a bit more corrupt than United Arab Emirates, Bhutan, Uruguay and Chile. How on earth could someone read that as a good position for the USA to be in? The US is constantly touted as some great leader of the world but it is never

That is its name; AMD64. The X86-64 and X64 is companies trying to avoid naming AMD.

It is called AMD64 because AMD named it so. X64 is Intel (and friends) trying to avoid using the AMD name. Here's the official logo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#/media/File:AMD64_Logo....

So most of this happens in products made where most of these products are made? Seems logically. Besides it doesn't seem any better in the US. By far the most backdoored internet equipment producer is Cisco.

> you want to live like that or remain free Depends on how you define free. The US population is definitely not free either when seen from Scandinavia. The US is only more free if freedom is defined as Free to be unprotected from big bus

Then the fix is simple. Buy it locally or from a company from there. They might not care but then the local seller (amazon for example) is on the hook (in any country with a proper customer protection at least).

No, the quality of the sound itself isn't better. If anything a higher quality pipeline is easier in Linux IMO.

It doesn't get better by adding a third to the list. Seems to me you could add Apple above those two though.

But, there you go and counter an anecdote with another just like OP pointed out. I can counter the counter too: I have all my old Android phones - all the way back to my Sony Mini (with sliding keyboard!) and they all work just fine. All of

I paid less than half for my 5X than my girlfriend paid for her iPhone. It makes no difference. They were way cheaper.

That is like saying the 601 limousine was Trabant's flagship product. Sure, yes, you are technically correct but... no. The Nexus devices were less than half the price of actual flagship products. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

And country. All I use is SMS. If anything else is used by people I know it is mostly Facebook Messenger or Hangouts. But SMS is still a clear #1.

No consumer law would uphold that. Your 80 year old granny have to be able to see something is wrong with the oil by looking at the dip. Demanding anything else is requiring someone educated look at it which won't hold in any court in

Amazing. Not only do the dealers I've used not use bulk oil (unlike most 3rd party shops) but I get the leftover (new) oil in the original metal can they used. It is definitely the factory specified oil. The specific car is part of the
