    Mullvad until you are often in the PCR, there I had a much better experience with ExpressVPN compared to basically everyone else.

    If you need a lot of exit nodes in different countries Proton or Pure, but I grow increasingly wary of Proton these days and Pure is getting more and more enshitified these days.

    So I simply use Mullvad for privacy and my own WG service for security.




  • A Chinese low cost manufacturer from Shenzhen. Their parent company is actually one of the Top 5 manufacturers - but none in the North/West has heard of them.

    They were specifically founded to provide smartphones for low and medium income markets like Africa, India, etc. Meanwhile they also manufacture phones there.

    Their parent company holds almost 50% of the African market share.

    They are actually producing decent phones by now - had the chance to take a look of one of their most recent phones a few weeks back. 5G, dual SIM, dedicated microSD slot, headphones jack (yes Lemmy!) and a big battery - but the camera and display were mediocre. Overall still a decent phone for a good price, even though they don’t sell them everywhere and I would be weary of the updates issue.


  • Basically when in old planners the actual knives and the part of the spindle above it is only secured by screws pushing the spindle and knife together. These are VERY prone to material fatigue of the screws, even if you replace the screws and which then send the knives and the fold towards you due to the centrifugal forces.

    They have been banned from commercial use since the 90ies in a lot of countries,but are still very present,sadly.

    In modern spindles the knives are held tighter by centrifugal forces due to a different construction method and it should not happen normally.
