Unfortunately “punish them by not buying it” won’t work for someone as big as them.

I’m saying that the sources of income are the same regardless of what the company structure or the software licence is.

Treat it however you want - from what I know even Mozilla has the same arrangement with Google and Firefox.

Partner integrations from what I know - search engines, bookmarks and so on.

CEOs gonna CEO.

I feel that many Russians are against Putler’s regime, but are (rightfully so) too afraid to speak up.

Do they send an SMS/email to ask for feedback after that? If they do, you probably don’t need hints to know what to do with it.

Fair point, yeah. If it’s a no-hassle process for the customer to report something as stolen and get a refund or another item shipped (even without proof - because I figure not everybody has surveillance cameras), sure.

So it’s possibly cheaper for the seller not to require a signature (since it’s an extra service), but it’s no biggie if the package gets stolen? Seems logical…

It baffles me that “delivering” packages like this is a standard practice over there. I’m in the EU, and if I’m not home by the time the delivery is attempted, the company would call and ask when is a good time to try again, or would leave the thing to be collected at an office.

Maybe it was phrased like that for this very reason.

Thanks. Anything more specific in mind? I know Eizo for their monitors for colour-critical work and from looking on their site I’m only able to find a 50 something inch model that’s probably very expensive (I think it was in their medical lineup). As for iiyama, they have some 65 and 75" models for e-signage, but they’re running Android.

What would you guys recommend for a dumb TV with a good quality panel in the 65-75" range that’s a available to buy in the EU? My intention is to hook it up to my own device (probably a mini PC running some Linux distro with Kodi and some other stuff).

Fair enough. All I’m saying is that mouse gestures are so much ingrained in my muscle memory that their absence in native capacity (and reliance on extensions for that) is a show-stopper for me.

Hoping that Vivaldi is going to hold off somehow - perhaps with their built-in ad blocker. And before you say “switch to Firefox”, I’ll say I’m not gonna, at least not until I see native mouse gestures implemented and working everywhere.

I don’t have the whole context so I might be missing some things, but the whole thing looks to me like “look at how much money I have to burn and how much I don’t care”.

Cool! Thanks a lot for the thorough answer!

What TV box would you recommend?

It’d be fine if 1) everything from Control Panel is implemented and properly working and 2) everything stays consistent (because otherwise, as other folks have mentioned, at one point written tutorials even with screenshots quickly become obsolete). I don’t see this happening any time soon.

Maybe instead of that they can start encouraging people to use the command line, although even fewer settings are reachable though there.

Wow. Now I don’t want to go to the US even harder than before.
