Looks like a neat product for army: they do need off-road based cars quite a lot.

There is also Vinted, which operates across EU.

Asides, in Poland Allegro Lokalne exists, which is making an attempt in the same market.

I actually recently switched to a safety razor from Wilkinson Sword (those blades mentioned, are supposed to be used with safety razor), and was enjoying it a lot. The razor itself is not too expensive, yet it improved my shave quality, decreased a price-per-shave, and skin irritation after shave (omitting occasional but very rare nose cuts). I use a blade in 1.5 weeks with ISANA blades from Rossman, and pay about 2€ per 10 of those, can definitely recommend.

The only downside: you can’t bring those on any airplane, so I carry a cartridge razor to get at least some shaving done when traveling. And immediately I do that, I get razor burns :(((

My take: Steam Deck is much better, just taking a terrible experience I've been having with ASUS laptop build, and how actually well-built the Steam Deck is.

My story is: I bought an LCD with 64 GB storage and upgraded it to 1TB, and made a few fixes already to the buttons (too hard of a player xD). And during disassembly, I was extremely happy with how it was built, because it is really simple to maintain, disassemble/assemble. Like it was actually built to last ;)

 

I am not related in any way with the company, and I am looking forward to it: the phone promises to be a good e-ink smartphone, with huge focus around conscious usage.

Yeah, I see your point, and it kind of makes sense to see bankruptcy as an attempt to start clean. I did not know about that, thanks for letting me know.

Still, my take is that Jolla’s products should be considered carefully, and history should be taken into account.

I do not as of now, although I am still very suspicious about the company, partly because of weird “no politics” response when team was asked to claim their stance on full-blown invasion. As a strong reason for it is that Jolla business with russia was being done after Crimea peninsula annexation.

Bottom line: I do not see this platform as being actively involved with warmongering state, but as one that directly supported an ability for it, and a potential risk.

AFAIK, Sailfish OS has quite strong ties with russia. I love the approach and the choice of technology, and enjoyed it a lot (much more than the iOS/Android approach) — the platform is indeed magnificent and has quite a few great things about it. Although, I see relying on Sailfish OS to be quite a risky choice, given their close ties with russia and unknown status of their support of russian version of the OS.

If you haven’t set a password before, then it should be the default one: empty. Then, to use sudo you will need to set one by using passwd command.

In case if the password was set in the past: the only way would be to run factory reset, or restore from image.
