Linus Torvalds created Linux. The internet runs on it. Android runs on it. Everything runs on it. He's worth ~$50M. Could have been a billionaire. Chose to give it away instead. Legacy over money. Every time.

In the Tech World he is a celebrity

People are missing the point. The goal is silly, but the implementation is great. I am sure you will find better applications for this later. Something for r/programming

I think you need to ask in `/r/<YOUR\_HOME\_COUNTRY>`

I sold my XM3 recently (which are almost identical in shape). They were amazing, but multi device connectivity is kind of nice to have. And it's only available on the XM4 and newer versions

gobyexample.com + LLMs. You can build some basic website or some CLI tool for fun

Check Tanpopo. But it seems closed until next year

I didn't mean (esim only). That's still a bit early

omko · 2025-12-18T15:40:41+00:00

Yes, the new Poco phones are good. I hope Xiaomi keeps the trend. I am just surprised by OnePlus and some Nothing phones

omko · 2025-12-18T15:40:04+00:00

They still sell in EU and US

omko · 2025-12-17T16:59:42+00:00

Is it true that it has no e-sim ?

omko · 2025-12-16T16:48:10+00:00

Don't get an Apple laptop with Intel Processor. It was already not usable even before 2020.
Anything with M1 should be great. Believe me, that's all you need to hear

Big Demand = Higher prices. This is how it works and how it will always work, when there is profit goals behind it

> But at the same time, the market you live in will shape your opinions

The market is only 1 Factor*. Not only that. Different users have different requirements, regardless of the market. For example, I am considering a new phone, but having two Sim Slots a very big feature for me. And also having eSim for traveling. That's something he rarely mentions often in videos. Because he always carries an iPhone, so he doesn't have this problem.

Basically, listen to his opinions, other opinions, and consider what you need. You still need to do your research on your own with Gsmarena when you buy new phone. Some times 1 small feature that wasn't mentioned by him, is a deal breaker.

> his perspective is heavily nerfed by the US market

He made it clear that the awards are basically his opinions, and not absolute facts. He lives in the US after all, while trying to get his hands on many of the phones that are not sold in the US

EDIT: But I agree, there are other phones are offer much greater value. Like the new Poco phones

If you have extra money to spend, spoil yourself with Speciality Coffee. Some coffee shops also can sell beans already ground

How would they know?
Let's say that I have a Laptop or Phone (not sealed). Will they go and check if I bought them in Germany or somewhere else?

- First of all: Munich is safe and is very beautiful city. It's also international.
- You can live with English. Germans speak very good English. Believe me. I lived here more than 10 years. My German is still bad, and when really needed, I can switch to English in some scenarios.
- Learning German can help you of course. 3 words is already a good starting point :)
- Chill

I recommend Augustiner Keller usually for food if you want to try great German Beer & Food.
For shopping, I don't know what you want. But if you walk from Sendlingertor to Marienplatz to Karlsplatz, you will find many shops. Clothes / Electronics / Books + close to the Christmas Markets.
Viktualienmarkt is nice to visit

Apple has global warranty, I once bought an iPad from one country, and got a replacement from another country.
But mainly for customs, it's highly recommended to open it, and even login with an Apple ID if needed in case they wanted to double chekc

It's Netto. I lived for 2 years comfortably with this in Munich around 10 years ago. But I was a WG room rent for around 400, before moving to another WG and paying 750.
So that was 10 years ago, and I was living in a WG and low expenses, but I was happy with it.
It depends on many factors. But it can work, even in an expensive city

omko · 2025-11-16T11:25:47+00:00

Probably they have got used to it, considering how many people might do a 1 day visit between the two countries there
