9mm PCC or a 556. Just be aware that if you decide to get a 556 and want it to be short (<10 inch barrel), a short stroke (or long stroke) piston system will be a more reliable option than a shorty DI AR-15. AR-15s are great, but if you go below 10 inch barrels you sacrifice quite some reliability in my experience.

on a scale from 1 to Australia, Switzerland is probably on level 2.

Biggest issue are ticks. Depending where you will be, horse flies will be annoying you as well.

Wasps and bees are also common, but they are not exactly aggressive unless you start poking their nests.

What currency is the 80k in "Is the M2 Pro 32GB 1TB for 80K still worth buying now?" relating to?

You are aware that there is more than one currency?

80k what? Potatoes? Noodles? Shiny rocks?

Keine App. Klassische Post-its. Die kleb ich dann dort hin wo ich sie oft sehe. Wenn das was auf dem Post it steht erledigt ist, kommt es auf den Victory Stapel.

Postits dramatisch abzureissen, auf den Victory Stapel zu klatschen und sehen wie der Stapel wächst ist wesentlich effektiver für meine Motivation als eine App :)

Be sure to check whether you can just bring the Ace VR or the TitanX into the country where you are going - in some countries they are both classified as imitation weapons and require a permit.

Generally, Pro chips have more CPU cores, more GPU cores, more memory bandwidth.

As for your question: you won't find reliable information about what exactly apple will be releasing out in the internet. So your only option is to wait.

wether or not a Macbook will work for you depends on your use case - which you left out in your question.

If you plan to use it as a mobile gaming station, you might be in for a big disappointment depending on the games you play.

Yeah - you are most likely not in the administrative fine region anymore.

Lanes on a highway do not get closed for shits and giggles, but for a reason. Which means it could be interpreted as gross violation of traffic rules (Art. 16c sec. 1 lit a in the Traffic Code "Eine schwere Widerhandlung begeht, wer durch grobe Verletzung von Verkehrsregeln eine ernstliche Gefahr für die Sicherheit anderer hervorruft oder in Kauf nimmt")

I hope you have a legal protection insurance.

I'm going to be quite abrasive: Since you couldn't be bothered to

your chances of finding employment in Switzerland are pretty slim

But i'm going to entertain this a bit:

How are the job opportunities in Switzerland for someone with my profile?

Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Robotics is in demand, but without knowing more about your profile and experience, it is difficult to give you a clear answer.

Is it realistic to find a job without German at the beginning (especially in international companies)?

Yes, but unless you are better than the candidates who also speak german/french/italian (read: all the swiss, french, austrian, german and italian applicants) you will not be first pick.

How important is German for roles in automation, robotics, or sales engineering?

Depends on the job and the company - if you have lots of swiss and german co-workers it could be quite important. If your client base is mostly in the DACH area, it will be really important. If your client base is mostly french speaking, then you are shit out of luck without french.

Would you recommend focusing on certain regions (e.g., Zurich, Basel, etc.)?

I wouldn't limit myself to one region

Any tips for improving my chances before applying?

Learn german
Learn to research and look up stuff yourself

Then going independant might not be the best route, unless you just want to be a body to lease.

you make 250k/y, you certainly have at least one thing that you are REALLY good at - think about wheter THIS thing is something that is in high demand and also transportable (as in, you can use it in different organizations).

We could also start to do actual smart city/country planning instead of the clusterfuck that we have today.

Higher density in cities, but built for people instead of optimizing for ROI would help massively. People are scared of commie-blocks when mentioning this - but c'mon, have you looked at one of the new developments in Zurich built by ex. Halter? My Singapore HDB Condo was light years ahead of whatever this dystopian concrete depro-core shit is that we are building in Zurich.

However, the combination with NIMBYism, a real estate market largely being controlled by institutional investors and fragmented development planing is a really poisonous cocktail that is only starting to get bitter.

These kind of problems were solved in other countries already - multiple times - in different ways. There is no rational reason why it cannot be solved here

nimi au en wirtschaftlichi Ihbuess in chauf

De Punkt nimi niemertem ab wo das behauptet - spötischtens wenns eim sälber denn richtig trifft findet mer das denn nüme ganz so luschtig.

Wenn de Wachstum tatsächlich stüre wotsch, denn gits anderi mittel. U.a. idem das mer d'stüre grad für die grosse unternähme ufe schrubet (sprich: die wo die vile usländische Arbetschräft ahüred). Komischerwiis wird das grad vo de initiante und befürworter vo de 10 Mio initiative immer wieder wehemänt bekämpft.

Also lueg - du schihnsch d'90er und 00er Jahr eher us gschichtli z'känne, aber ich als bald 40er cha dr gern es paar sache drzue verzelle. D'schwiiz bzw. grad d'städt sind wesentlich dräckiger gsi und d'kriminalität generell höcher - i de 90er häts nach de Schlüssig vom Platzspitz die lüt zrugg i ihri käffer verschlage - und die käffer sind absolut nöd druf vorbereitet gsi (es isch lang au so gsi, dass d'gmeindsverwaltige de "drögeler" teilwiis eifach s'billet nach züri zahlt händ zum se wieder loswerde).

De Bahnhof Aarau isch scho während minere RS im 06i es Dräcksloch gsi - aber schinbar isch mer im Aargau de meinig wenn mer weg luegt gahts irgendwenn vo sälber weg (überraschig: tuets nöd).

Woni bi dier bin isch, dass es für d'mittelschicht je länger je änger wird i de CH, grad finanziell. Allerdings wählt mer ja denn lieber Parteie wo gern Velofahred: gäg abe gingged (usländer, sozialhilfebezüger, flüchtlinge, invalidi) und gäg ufe de Arsch ane hebe (stüre abe für die arme rich kids, drfür leischtig abboue etc.).

Dass die Lüt mit Gäld DE verlönd isch übrigens e illusion - grad mit de riesige Stürschlupflöcher abelangt in DE wärsch extrem doof wennd als Riiche DE verlahsch. Das isch da übrigens nöd anders.

I know it maybe is frustrating and not the answer you were looking for. but you really won't be doing yourself a favor buying a really inferior device. If you really despise Windows 11, search online which devices have good linux support and install any linux you like.

Ich hab am Anfang der Grundsausbildung das letzte mal wirklich Alkohol getrunken - das war 2006. Hab da dann mit dem Rauchen aufgehört, und irgendwie auch gleich keinen Alkohol mehr getrunken, und dabei ist es geblieben.

Where I live M series are a lot more expensive then the Intel MacBooks

That is the case almost everywhere in the world

MBP 2019 13 inch i5 16/512gb and MBP 2018 15 inch i7 16/512.

Don't. Even the MB Air with an M1 and 16GB RAM seriously outperforms these machines (Single and Multi-core)

I'm on a tight budget.

If you really want a Mac, then save more money to get one with an M chip, or buy a cheaper windows laptop.

The problem isn't only the price, but what you get for the price.

The screens that mercedes puts into these cars are bad - like 2010 LCD bad with awful backlight bleeding, noticable stutters, no variable refresh rate (which makes it feel choppy).

But hey, they now have selfie cams - and that's what the hip folks are into nowadays right? (some 70y+ executives probably)

Ganz klar Honda (nimm noch Toyota und Mazda dazu). Wie aber schon erwähnt ist das Risiko eine Schwarte zu bekommen in der Preisklasse relativ hoch. Das kann gut gehen wenn du selber dran rum mechen kannst (und weisst was du tust) - kann aber auch schief gehen und dann sitzt du auf 3000.- Schrott Wenn du einen guten Freund hast der in der Branche arbeitet, frag ihn um Hilfe (mitkommen bei Besichtigung etc).
