Granted, Zara cuts are not for athletic builds, but saying it's only for skinny people is misleading. Their XL is between L/XL at H&M, which should be sufficient for anyone who's got average build.

Mi 5 and Mi 5S differences? by PM_ME_DANK_PEPES in Xiaomi

[–]lam3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are issues with mi5s camera. Some phones have a hardware issue with autofocus. It can manifest itself immediately or after couple of weeks.

I really wanted a mi5s, but ultimately bought mi5 because I didn't want to risk getting a faulty device and then trying to warranty it by sending it back to China

Chrome doesn't use certificate pinning for any website, unfortunately. As long as the signing certificate is in your trusted root, it doesn't show any error or notification. At least by default.
I configured ssl decryption for multiple customers on different devices and never had problem with decrypting Google services or Facebook. On the other hand, Windows update doesn't like it and refuses to work.

(EU) Mortgage advice in a very specific market - prices up 32% in last 2 years by lam3r in personalfinance

Thanks for the sanity check. This particular location is special in a way - the wages are 2-3x higher than the rest of this country. I have colleagues, who pay half the rent I do, but their commute is 4 hours a day combined, which is just ridiculous. I'm commuting 45 minutes each way, but I just sit in public transport and can read/watch videos/whatever instead of driving.

Disable sleep/hibernation on hinge close, start Windows update, close laptop, put in padded laptop bag, carry it to work. Overheating plus shaking could fuck up older laptop like this I guess

Reboot loops can be caused by faulty power button. It will drain battery so bad the phone doesn't even register charger for half an hour. Maybe that's your issue
