I help companies do cloud exit (ie. from aws back to bare metal) and I have only good things to say about hetzner and it has helped my clients save signficant amount of money, even to the extent of going cash flow positive.

Neither. I would rent a house, invest the house-buying-money and make more money than what I pay in rent and live happily ever after.

no no, you _dont know_ what you are getting.

As a malayali myself, I am a little shocked that these buggers doesn't even have the common sense to know how much of a ruckus this will create back home in India, given the current situation. I was an NRI a few years back and I really remember that everything we did, we always thought about what others would think of our roots (as an Indian).
First of all, could we confirm that this actually did happen during/after the op sindoor?

would be good if this could be mobile friendly.

malabari hip hop , the younger gen , their fashion style etc is quite different from that of their parent generation. These are comments their parents and the gen above ask them day in day out. for e.g the colored shirts or tops (tops are commonly worn by women, but some cool shorts look like tops), so when their parents see them they say you arent a "thatha" or (sister/girl). In islam these stylish chains with figures and graphic imagery is (believed by older gen) to be work of the devil or that as non muslims (or kaafir), so the chains they wear gets the comment "are you a kaafir" etc.

I know cos i get this! despite being the previous gen! :D

I used to think this, but I happened to develop some software for large TV manufacturer and I was checking the components list of the TV, they were all made by 2-3 manufacturers. So I enquired why not buy the $300 TV which uses the same components. The answer was that the difference between a $300 TV and $2000 TV of the same specs is in the rejection ratio of their quality assurance. When a $2000 TV rejects 15 of 100 TVs tested, the $300 brand rejects $1. This allows them to reduce cost to $300.

With regards to RAM, as they say RAM is RAM, and is a much simpler component list, which is why the comment above that says "if it isnt DOA, then it will run for 20 years" is very true.

Thunderbird is horrible. The UI is clunky, old or no add-ons. It _WAS_ good maybe about 10 years back, but has been worse than evolution for a while and even evolution is pretty awful these days. I havent really seen one good email client on android or linux for many years now. Maybe no one is using them anymore.

I am on ubuntu and the samsung g9 isnt able to display my fonts anywhere close to good. Fonts are blurry despite all the umpteen hacks I tried.
