My boss says “you’ll”

India is super conservative. A lot of Trump’s biggest supporters are Indian in the US.

Didn’t really try. Couldn’t get SteamVR working without lots of hacking. I ended up buying a smaller second hard drive and installing windows just for that use. Once I was done with that game, I haven’t booted into Windows since, as there is no reason to.

They have offices in the US

Cellebrite themselves do it. The will unlock phones as a service.

I built one — took about 4 hours once all the parts arrived. My first build. Installed Linux Mint from a flash drive and it worked perfectly. Ended up switching to Zorin OS later — also works fine.

I have been able to play every game I wanted, except one requiring a VR headset.

Thanks for the idea, but have you considered spending it all on bombs instead?

ChatGPT is lying too, and is also really confident about it.

I don’t know how Cellebrite is a legally operating company. Their entire business model is a violation of the computer fraud and abuse act.

You own property in the state, or consider it your primary residence, you have income from business or investments in the state.

It really varies state by state.

Certainly, at the presidential level, however I recall Congress having a bunch of “tea party” nut jobs elected that shut down the government over the passage of Obamacare.

I started paying attention in 2000, even though I didn’t really understand it and couldn’t vote, however my first voting election was 2004 and I remember being disappointed when John Kerry lost to Bush, who had already gotten us involved in two wars that would cost trillions of dollars.

My experience has been that Republican administrations tend to be rife with corruption, cut taxes for rich people and run up the deficit.

Eventually, people get sick of the moral decay and tanking economic prospects and put a democrat back in, who tries to undo all the damage, but is blocked most of the time by Republicans in Congress acting in bad faith.

Then, the right wing media environment drums up a load of fear about immigrants and actual lies about the economy to get everyone voting for a Republican again.

That’s the cycle, except the Republican media ecosystem gets more extreme over time, and so do the candidates.

Some states still require you to file even if you don’t live there, but have ties, and may tax your income.

Not if you live in a state with state and local income tax. They capped SALT deductions, so you’re basically paying tax on taxed income.

Isn’t it all the metal detectors at the door?

Idk why people say “pay a premium”. MacBook Air is like $1000 bucks. Other laptops are also in this range.

Also, you’re never going to spend a second worrying about making the thing work or fixing an error. Even Windows requires fixing problems and installing drivers sometimes. I guess it depends on how you value your time. I’ve spent hours on linux and windows troubleshooting. I’ve never spent a second on macOS.

You got in at a bad time and probably picked some subpar investments. You likely bought some big tech stocks at the worst possible time, and many of them never recovered because they were way over valued to begin with.

Stick with total market or sp500 fund like VTI or VOO. You’d be up right now if you had.

Also, it sounds like you invested once and then never bought more? The whole point is that you’re buying more every paycheck. You’d be way up if you’d kept investing through 2022 when prices were low.

Retirement accounts with the right funds are supposed to be set it and forget it. Make the automatic contribution every paycheck and look at it maybe once or twice a year. Otherwise, let it be.

Does Apple own any of its own manufacturing?

I always wondered this too. It was a good idea 15 years ago. But, they don’t offer enough to justify the price. Literally everyone offers cloud storage now and a million other features too.

Isn’t it most Gen-Z men are Trump supporters now?
