That’s true, if you did go for it find a bowl-lift model as opposed to the more common ones where the head tilts up. Much more durable and generally more powerful. (Great for doughs especially firmer ones like bagel dough)

Have you considered buying a used one? Then you don’t need to worry about origin or environmental costs

Yeah I live in Florida. Our winters it might get close to freezing, some days. Maybe a little under overnight.

I have a screened in porch and it’s open all day along with the windows in winter, A/C set to fan only. Close the porch/windows at night but no heat. It’s pretty cold in the morning but I’ll take the $50 electric bill lol

That’ll pay for itself in 10 years give or take

But that’s assuming your bill is that high every month when really in winter it’s probably much less of a difference. But I don’t know where you live to be fair.

I’m a techie guy. I like tech. I run my own servers at home. I run a Lemmy instance.

Trust me I am very aware I absolutely do not NEED a new phone. But if I can get a good deal on a new one and recoup a significant amount by trading/selling the old - I do (after a year or so, usually)

It’s something that interests me. Some people collect knick-knacks and probably spend more than I do on consumer electronics.

This logic is outdated. The top of the line iPhones are no more (and sometimes a bit less) than comparable Android flagships.

Their base models come in around high-midrange Android, true. But some of the specs (CPU/camera) still beat out Android phones at their price range. Heck on CPU they often beat more expensive Android phones.

I’m not saying that because I’m a fan of Apple it’s just like, it’s not just them. I’ve had something like 9 Android phones and 6 iPhones. Really in the end they aren’t that different day-to-day.

Most stops they will only stop if someone is waiting or if someone on the buss hits the button

FUCK THIS IS THE WORST

MY DEVICE IS SET TO SPANISH. THERE IS NO WORLD WHERE I WANT TO LISTEN TO A SPANISH LANGUAGE VIDEO IN ENGLISH WITH A SHITTY AI VOICE

Like I’m cool with the option. I’m even cool with it turning on by default according to your account settings.

BUT WHY IN THE NAME OF FUCK CAN IT NOT BE TURNED OFF???

The first time it happened I assumed I could just go to the audio track settings because some creators put in multiple tracks with different languages. BUT IT’S NOT THERE.
