Colleagues. I don’t feel like having to publish 20 disclaimers here to clarify exactly what I mean. People who want to understand my message will understand them. You should not look for too many “double-bottoms” or “hidden messages” in them. Do you have a problem with the “superficiality” of my post… so be it.

    If I were to buy a PC in a month, what should i get? There really is no way around American products then. Also, buying a PS5 when they’ve increased the price in EU to make it more palatable in America. Buying an Xbox when they’ve also increased the prices to offset tariffs is a no-no.

    Would buying second hand be the ultimate fuck you to american corporations?

      I used to have iphone’s all my life, but a few months ago I degoogled myself. I bought a refurbished Google Pixel 8 Pro and installed GrapheneOS. Yes, indeed, degoogle with a Google Pixel. But the thing is - like I mentioned - second hand. That means there is no money going to Google and I have a decent phone with a degoogled operating system, LOL.

      Look it from the environmental point of view if you want, yes second hand is a smart choice.
